What causes remote problems in garage doors?

Remote problems are one of the most common garage door issues we encounter, and they can stem from several sources. The most frequent cause is simply dead or weak batteries – we recommend replacing remote batteries annually as preventive maintenance. Signal interference from nearby devices, LED lights, or even your neighbor's garage door opener can also cause issues. Physical damage to the remote, such as drops or water exposure, can damage the internal circuitry. On the garage door unit side, the antenna on the motor unit may be damaged or improperly positioned, or the receiver board may need replacement. Weather changes and power surges can also affect remote programming. Our technicians use diagnostic equipment to pinpoint the exact cause and provide the most cost-effective solution, whether that's reprogramming, replacing the remote, or addressing an issue with the opener itself.

Do you offer financing for new modern door installations?

Yes! We understand that a new garage door is a significant investment in your home, which is why we offer flexible financing options to fit your budget. We partner with several financing providers to offer plans ranging from 0% APR promotional periods to extended payment plans of up to 60 months. This means you can get that beautiful new carriage-style or modern garage door you've been wanting without the financial strain of a lump-sum payment. Our financing options are available for door installations starting at $1,500, and approval is typically quick – often within minutes. We also offer seasonal promotions that may include special financing terms. During your free estimate appointment, our technician will discuss all available financing options and help you find the plan that works best for your situation. Contact us today at 321-475-5368 or fill out our contact form to schedule your free estimate and learn more about financing.

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend professional garage door maintenance at least once a year, though twice annually (spring and fall) is ideal for Florida homeowners. Our coastal climate with high humidity, salt air, and occasional severe weather can accelerate wear on garage door components. During a maintenance visit, our technicians inspect all moving parts, lubricate bearings and rollers, check spring tension, test safety features, tighten hardware, and assess weather seals. Regular maintenance can extend your garage door's lifespan by 5-10 years and helps prevent costly emergency repairs. Between professional visits, homeowners should visually inspect their door monthly, listen for unusual sounds, and test the safety reversal feature. Signs that you need service sooner include unusual noises, slow movement, uneven closing, or difficulty with the remote.

What's included in your 2-year warranty?

Our comprehensive 2-year warranty covers both parts and labor on all repair and installation work we perform. This includes any defects in workmanship, premature failure of parts we installed, and any issues directly related to our service. If a spring we installed breaks within 2 years, we'll replace it at no charge – including the service call. If an opener we installed malfunctions, we'll repair or replace it free of charge. The warranty also covers any damage that occurs as a result of our work. We stand behind our 100% satisfaction guarantee, meaning if you're not happy with our work for any reason, we'll make it right. Please note that the warranty does not cover damage from misuse, accidents, or normal wear and tear on existing components we didn't service. We provide detailed documentation of all work performed and warranty terms for your records.

Do you work on commercial garage doors?

Absolutely! While we specialize in residential garage doors, we also service commercial and industrial overhead doors throughout the Space Coast. Our commercial services include rolling steel doors, sectional overhead doors, high-speed doors, fire-rated doors, and dock equipment. We understand that commercial doors face different demands than residential doors – higher cycle counts, heavier usage, and often stricter security requirements. Our technicians are trained on commercial door systems from all major manufacturers. For commercial clients, we offer priority scheduling, preventive maintenance contracts, and 24/7 emergency service to minimize business disruption. Contact us for a commercial consultation and we'll develop a service plan tailored to your business needs.

What brands of garage doors and openers do you service?

We service all major brands of garage doors and openers, including but not limited to: Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, CHI, Haas, Raynor, and Martin for doors; LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Linear, and Overhead Door for openers. Our technicians receive ongoing training on new products and technologies, including smart home integration, battery backup systems, and the latest safety features. We carry genuine manufacturer parts for the most common brands, enabling us to complete most repairs in a single visit. For less common brands or vintage equipment, we can usually source parts within 24-48 hours. If you have an older garage door system that's becoming difficult to maintain, we can also advise you on upgrade options that will improve reliability and safety.

Warranty Value Assessment: Making Smart Decisions

2024-04-01 7 min read

When investing in a new garage door or repair service, understanding warranty coverage can save you significant money and frustration down the road. This guide helps you evaluate warranties and make informed decisions about your garage door investment.

Understanding Warranty Types

Garage door warranties typically fall into several categories. Manufacturer warranties cover defects in the door itself, including panels, hardware, and finish. Installation warranties cover workmanship issues related to the installation process. Parts warranties cover components like springs, openers, and rollers. It's important to understand what each warranty covers and for how long.

What to Look for in a Door Warranty

Quality garage door manufacturers offer comprehensive warranties. Look for warranties that cover the door sections for at least 10-15 years, hardware for 5-7 years, springs for 3-5 years, finish/paint for 5-10 years, and windows for 5-10 years. Premium doors may offer lifetime limited warranties on certain components.

The Importance of Installation Warranties

A great door poorly installed will perform poorly. That's why installation warranties are crucial. At Garage Door Titusville, we offer a 2-year warranty on all installation work. This covers any issues related to how the door was installed, adjusted, and calibrated. If something goes wrong due to installation, we make it right at no cost.

Red Flags to Watch For

Be cautious of warranties that have excessive exclusions, require professional inspection at owner's expense, void the warranty for minor issues, only cover parts but not labor, or are difficult to claim. Read the fine print and ask questions before signing.

Transferability Matters

If you plan to sell your home, a transferable warranty adds value. Many premium garage door warranties are transferable to new homeowners, making your home more attractive to buyers. Ask about transferability when comparing options.

Maintaining Your Warranty

Most warranties require proper maintenance to remain valid. Keep records of annual maintenance, use only approved parts for repairs, follow manufacturer guidelines for operation, and report issues promptly. Regular professional maintenance not only keeps your warranty valid but also prevents problems before they occur.

Our Commitment to You
