How Spring King Overhead Garage Door Service Transformed a Home After Severe Weather

When a severe storm hits, the damage to homes can be extensive, including to essential components like garage doors. Recently, we were called to replace a garage door that had been battered and rendered inoperable by strong winds and flying debris. At Spring King Overhead Garage Door Service, we pride ourselves on restoring peace of mind to homeowners with professional garage door replacements. Here’s a detailed look at how we approached and completed this project.

The Initial Assessment

After receiving an urgent call from the homeowner, our team promptly visited the property to assess the damage. The garage door was severely dented, with several panels cracked and the tracks misaligned. It was clear that a complete replacement was necessary to ensure the functionality and safety of the garage.

Choosing the Right Replacement

We discussed various garage door options with the homeowner, considering factors such as durability, design, and insulation. Given the frequency of storms in the area, we recommended a robust, insulated steel garage door that could withstand harsh weather conditions. They chose a modern design that complemented the exterior of their home, enhancing both its aesthetic appeal and functionality.

Removal of the Damaged Door

Our team carefully removed the damaged garage door, ensuring that no additional damage occurred to the surrounding structure. Safety is always a top priority, and we took all necessary precautions to protect both the property and our team during the removal process.

Installation of the New Garage Door

With the old door safely removed, we began the installation of the new garage door. This process involved:

Assembling the Door Panels: We carefully assembled the door panels, ensuring that each piece fit perfectly and securely.

Installing the Tracks and Springs: Proper alignment of the tracks and springs is crucial for the smooth operation of the garage door. Our experienced technicians meticulously installed these components to guarantee optimal performance.

Securing the Weather Stripping: To enhance insulation and protect against future storms, we installed high-quality weather stripping along the edges of the door.

Testing and Calibration: Once the installation was complete, we thoroughly tested the garage door to ensure it operated smoothly and quietly. We calibrated the opener and safety features, confirming that everything functioned perfectly.

Final Touches and Customer Satisfaction

Before concluding the project, we conducted a final walkthrough with the homeowner, demonstrating the features and operation of their new garage door. We provided them with maintenance tips to keep their door in top condition and answered any questions they had.

The homeowner was thrilled with the result, expressing their gratitude for our prompt and professional service. The new garage door not only restored the security and functionality of their home but also added a touch of modern elegance.
