Garage doors are built to last, but sooner or later, they need to be replaced. Garage doors springs wear down and break. Garage doors themselves can become outdated. Whatever the case, when that time comes to replace a garage door and/or the springs, many homeowners ask themselves:

Should I just replace it all myself?

While we respect your desire to be thrifty and hands on, we would recommend against it. Why?

It’s Dangerous

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.

There’s a Chance They’ll Break Sooner

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 setup 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.
