Garage Door Installation & Repair FAQ for Boston Homeowners

How often should Boston homeowners get garage door installation & repair?
Given Boston's severe winters with average 48 inches of snow, most homeowners benefit from garage door installation & repair at least once a year. Ice dam prevention and removal (Dec–Mar) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Boston most need garage door installation & repair?
Victorian triple-deckers and Colonial and Cape Cod-style homes are the most common home types in Boston and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
Why did my garage door spring break?
Torsion springs have a rated cycle life (typically 10,000 cycles). Most break from normal wear after 5–10 years. Cold temperatures also increase spring failures.
Should I replace one spring or both?
Always replace both springs at the same time. If one broke, the other is similarly worn and will break soon. Replacing both saves a second service call within months.
Can I replace a garage door spring myself?
Spring replacement is dangerous for untrained individuals — springs store enormous tension. Professional replacement is strongly recommended to avoid injury.
What's the difference between chain, belt, and screw drive openers?
Chain drive: most affordable, louder. Belt drive: quieter, ideal for attached garages with living space above. Screw drive: middle ground, fewer moving parts. DC motor openers are quieter than AC regardless of drive type.
