The Why’s and How’s of Garage Door Installation


If you think you know what to expect when shopping for a new garage door or if you feel that you only need the same features as the last one, then you’re in for a surprise. Because of today’s innovations, new garage doors are stronger, more secure, and better insulated. Maintenance is also less of a problem. However, the downside of it is that garage door installation for new garage doors will take more effort due to more complicated parts. So the question is, “how should it be installed?”

As you remove your old door, you will find out that the main parts consist of the door itself and the pulley. In this, make sure to move the panel at a time to avoid accidents. Measure the various areas where the new garage door will be installed. For the headroom, you should have about 10 to 12 inch of space, depending on the spring system you’re installing. With proper measurements in garage door installation, you are then sure of your garage door’s position.

When talking about design and features for your new garage door, it is best to look for a model with a baked-on primer and polyester topcoat for maximum rust protection. Once the mainstay garage door material, wood has taken a backseat to other materials in the middle of the market in Tampa. To a great extent, this is due to the added maintenance and regular painting wood doors require. Steel doors are becoming more popular. Warranties for steel doors start at 10 years; limited lifetime coverage is not uncommon.

Lastly, with today’s energy costs, garage door insulation is just as valuable as anywhere else in your home. The number of uninsulated garage doors sold continues to decline as consumers demand energy efficient home materials for cost saving.

You will be surprised by how affordable new garage doors in Tampa can be. Most guess twice as much as what it actually comes out to be. As for the cost of garage door installation, it largely depends on your contractor so you have to choose wisely.
