What to Expect During a Residential or Commercial Garage Door Installation

After you’ve decided on your new garage door’s style and model, you can count on the professionals at The Doorman to actively work with you throughout the installation process. Some of the things you can expect along your installation journey include:

• A pre-installation inspection: Before beginning the installation, we’ll evaluate your garage area to determine whether we need to make any special modifications or use specific tools to complete the job. We’ll also confirm all the critical measurements and verify a time to perform the actual installation.
• Making time for prep work: Some of the things you can do beforehand to speed up the process include removing vehicles from your garage, decluttering and cleaning the work area, and selecting the location of the opener or wall consoles. 
• The installation process: Keeping your garage off limits to your family and pets is essential during the day of installation. Our installation team will begin by removing the old door and disposing of all the components. At that point, we’ll systematically install your new garage door, from situating the drive unit to attaching the tracks to installing the opener.
• Post-installation testing: Our technicians will thoroughly test your door to ensure peak operation and proper safety once everything is in place. We’ll also guide you through a visual inspection routine and advise you on the best time to schedule preventive maintenance.

FAQs

How long does a residential garage door installation take?

A typical residential garage door installation by The Doorman depends on the complexity of your project. This includes removing your old door, disposing of components, installing the new door system, tracks, springs, and opener, plus thorough testing. We’ll provide a more accurate timeline during our pre-installation inspection when we evaluate your garage space and confirm measurements. Factors like custom modifications or electrical work may extend the installation time.

Do you remove and dispose of my old garage door?

Yes, The Doorman includes complete removal and disposal of your old garage door and all its components as part of our installation service. Our technicians will systematically remove the old door, springs, tracks, opener, and hardware, then properly dispose of all materials. You don’t need to worry about cleanup or disposal – we handle everything so you can enjoy your new garage door immediately.

What happens if my garage needs modifications for the new door?

During our pre-installation inspection, we evaluate your garage to identify any necessary modifications before installation day. Common modifications include:

• Adjusting header space for different door heights
• Reinforcing wall studs for opener mounting
• Updating electrical connections for new openers
• Modifying track placement for proper clearance

We’ll discuss any required modifications and associated costs upfront, so there are no surprises. Our experienced technicians come prepared with the tools and expertise to handle most modifications on-site.

How do I know my new garage door is properly installed and safe?

The Doorman ensures your installation meets all safety standards through our comprehensive post-installation process:

• Thorough testing of all door functions, including opening, closing, and emergency release
• Safety feature verification, including auto-reverse mechanisms and photo-eye sensors
• Balance and alignment checks to ensure smooth operation
• Complete walkthrough where we guide you through a visual inspection routine
• Maintenance scheduling advice to keep your door in peak condition

We also provide guidance on recognizing signs that may require professional attention and recommend when to schedule your first preventive maintenance visit.

Most importantly, our technicians will treat you and your family respectfully and courteously. Rather than employing outside contractors like many competitors, we have a thoroughly vetted in-house team to perform all our installations, repair and maintenance work.
