Frequently asked in Los Angeles

How do I know if my garage door sensors need alignment?

If your garage door opener refuses to close the door, or if it starts to close and then reverses back up, it's a strong indicator that the safety sensors are misaligned or obstructed. You might also notice blinking lights on the opener motor unit indicating a sensor issue. These sensors are critical for preventing the door from closing on an object or person. Licensed, insured pros can precisely realign them or clean them to restore proper function.

What are the benefits of a garage door screen?

A garage door screen provides ventilation and keeps insects out while allowing light to enter, transforming your garage into a more comfortable workspace or recreational area. Look for durable materials like fiberglass mesh, a sturdy frame, and a reliable track system for smooth operation. Some screens offer features like automatic closing or pet doors. Licensed, insured pros can help you select and install the right type of screen to enhance your garage's functionality and comfort.

What kind of maintenance do steel garage doors need?
