Why you should Hire an Expert to Install Overhead Doors

You might think that garage doors are simple enough to install on your own. But after decades in business, we know that installing overhead doors can be much more challenging (and dangerous) than most people may know. Whether you want to replace an existing overhead door or you are dealing with new construction, here are four reasons why you should hire an expert to install your overhead doors.

Safety

Installing overhead doors can be a dangerous job. That’s why one of the top reasons you should hire an expert is your safety and the protection of your property. Garage door accidents cause around 30,000 injuries annually in the United States. The weight of an overhead door alone is enough to cause severe damage. But in addition to the weight, pinching injuries, falling parts, and people trapped inside due to faulty installation can cause injury and even death. To avoid these potential situations and hazards, we recommend that you put your trust in the experts.

Security

While safety is a top concern, another common issue with improper overhead door installation in your home or business is security from intruders. If an overhead door is installed improperly, potential security threats such as robbery and home invasion could easily occur. For example, let’s say you decide to install an overhead door on your own, but it isn’t perfect. Any gaps or spaces could create an easy “in” for a potential robber. Experts also know how to help you avoid problems like door opener hacking.

Expertise

You wouldn’t hire a doctor to update your home’s landscaping or an electrician to fix your plumbing. We feel the same way about overhead doors. Hiring a professional, with the appropriate training and knowledge about the installation process, can save you a lot of time and future headaches. At Overhead Door, we know how to get the job done right (the first time) and we have an incredible network of over 400 distributors who also do.
