It’s not every day you run into the problem of needing to replace your garage door. Garage doors in Ohio are incredibly durable and built to last. However, even the toughest garage door will someday meet the end of its life cycle. 

If that day is today, you may be asking yourself,

Can I replace my garage door myself?

We know you can learn just about anything on the internet these days, and we respect homeowners’ ambition to DIY just about anything, but let us take a minute to caution you against replacing your garage door on your own. Here’s why:

Danger- Risk of Injury

Garage door springs carry a lot of tension. Should one break, serious injury could occur. Meanwhile, garage doors are very heavy. When the springs aren’t in place, and the garage door opener is disconnected, they can come crashing down with a significant force

If you don’t know what you’re doing, the likelihood of getting hurt goes up considerably.

Improper Installment

Let’s say you get the springs and the door in place. You push the garage door button, and it opens and closes accordingly. There could still be a problem. Just because the garage door is in place and it appears to work doesn’t mean everything is set up correctly. When a garage door and/or garage door springs aren’t installed correctly, they’re prone to breaking down much sooner.

That ultimately leads to a lot more cost for you.
