New Garage DoorThere are many reasons why you may be thinking of replacing your garage door. Whether it’s because the door is not operating correctly, perhaps the door is rotting or rusting, or it may be just time to update to a new system. This was the case for one of our Excelsior, MN customers. The Garage Door was out of date and our customer was looking to update while adding some curb appeal. Adding windows to the Garage Door is one of the best ways to add curb appeal to a garage door. Along with letting great natural light in, it also adds a distinct look to your home to set you apart from your neighbors. The final product speaks for itself and our homeowner couldn’t be happier with the Garage Door.

Is Garage Door Replacement a Seasonal Project?

It is often presumed that replacing your garage door cannot be completed once the snow flies. At Rise & Shine Garage Doors, we replace Garage Doors year round. Winter can be extremely busy as the cold weather, snow, ice, salt seem to wreak havoc on garage doors. In many cases garage door replacement can often times make more financial sense than repairing your current garage door. Here are some examples of garage doors that may be better off replacing than repairing.

  • Rotting or Rusting Door (If your garage door is rotting or rusting, it may be time to consider replacement)
  • Tilt up Garage Door (Tilt up Garage Doors are a thing of the past, the system is extremely out of date and repairs can be considered no more than a band aid)
  • Extension Springs (If your door has springs that run along the outsides of the horizontal tracking you have extension springs. These springs are extremely dangerous and out of date. If you have this system it is time to consider either a torsion conversion or complete garage door replacement)
