Why Should I Hire a Professional Garage Door Installer?

While many homeowners either enjoy performing home improvement tasks around their home or do so to save money when it comes to garage door installation, it is best to hire a professional.  People tend to underestimate just how intricate garage door installation is, and the lack of knowledge and experience can lead not only to damage to property but can cause injuries as well.  These doors are heavy and installing the track requires the use of a ladder to properly affix the track to the ceiling, without the proper knowledge and tools trying to do this yourself can lead to devastating injures.  At San Antonio Overhead Pros, we have an expert team of technicians with the proper tools and experience to install or repair any door system safely.  Listed below are some reasons why you should hire a professional garage door installer.

Door Panels

Door panels can weigh over 100 pounds, so installing or replacing them can be very difficult if you do not possess the proper training and equipment.  It is easy to lose control of such a heavy object, and you could cause damage to your property, or worse, you can severely injure yourself.

Track

The track is the part of the door system that allows the heavy door to open and close safely and smoothly.  If the track is not installed correctly, the heavy door could become a danger to both you and your property.

Springs

The springs are the part of the door system that utilizes mechanical energy to raise and lower the heavy door.  Installing or replacing springs can be extremely dangerous and should only be done by a professional.  If a spring breaks, the mechanical energy it has stored will be released in unpredictable ways causing damage to property and serious injury to anyone nearby.
