Garage Door FAQ — 24/7 Garage Door Service

Answers to common garage door questions for 24/7 Garage Door Service homeowners.

How quickly can you fix my sensor issues?
Our technicians can typically diagnose and fix sensor issues within a single visit, usually taking 30-60 minutes. Sensor problems are among the most common garage door issues we encounter, and our team comes prepared with replacement parts and calibration tools. For urgent sensor issues that affect your home security, we offer same-day and next-day service appointments. Call us at to schedule your sensor repair.
What causes sensor issues in garage doors?
Garage door sensor issues are typically caused by several factors: misalignment (the sensors get bumped or shifted), dirty lenses (dust, cobwebs, or debris blocking the sensor beam), wiring problems (damaged wires or loose connections), sunlight interference (direct sunlight can sometimes interfere with the sensor beam), and age-related wear (sensors can degrade over time). Our technicians will diagnose the exact cause and provide the most cost-effective solution, whether that's realignment, cleaning, or replacement.

We carry a wide selection of styles including traditional raised panel doors, carriage house designs, modern contemporary styles, and custom options. During your free consultation, we'll help you choose the perfect door for your home's architecture and your budget.
How long does a garage door installation take?
A standard garage door installation typically takes 3-5 hours to complete. This includes removal of your old door, installation of the new door and hardware, setup and programming of the opener, safety testing, and cleanup. More complex installations (such as doors requiring structural modifications or custom sizes) may take longer. We always provide a time estimate before beginning work so you can plan accordingly.
Do you service commercial garage doors?
Yes, we provide comprehensive commercial garage door services for businesses throughout the Arcadia area. Our commercial services include installation and repair of overhead doors, rolling steel doors, fire-rated doors, high-speed doors, and loading dock equipment. We understand that downtime costs money, so we offer priority service and flexible scheduling to minimize disruption to your business operations.
What is included in your maintenance service?
Our comprehensive maintenance service includes: visual inspection of all components, lubrication of moving parts (springs, hinges, rollers), hardware tightening, spring tension adjustment, balance testing, safety feature testing (auto-reverse, sensors), opener diagnostics, weatherstripping inspection, and track alignment check. Regular maintenance extends your door's lifespan and helps prevent costly emergency repairs.
How often should I have my garage door serviced?
We recommend annual maintenance for most residential garage doors. However, if your door sees heavy use (opening/closing more than 4-5 times daily) or you notice any unusual sounds, slow operation, or uneven movement, you should schedule service sooner. Regular maintenance typically costs less than a single emergency repair and can extend your door's lifespan by several years.
What warranty do you offer?
We stand behind our work with a comprehensive 1-year warranty on all labor and services. Additionally, the parts and products we install carry their own manufacturer warranties, which can range from 1 year to lifetime depending on the product. We'll explain all warranty coverage during your service visit and provide documentation for your records.
Do you offer emergency garage door service?
Yes, we offer rapid emergency garage door service for urgent situations. Whether your door is stuck open (security concern), stuck closed (car trapped), or has suffered damage, our emergency team is available to help. Emergency service is available after hours, on weekends, and holidays. Call and let us know it's an emergency – we'll dispatch a technician as quickly as possible.
