Frequently Asked Questions

How long do garage door openers last?

Average lifespan is 10-15 years. Belt-drive motors tend to last slightly longer than chain-drive. Signs of failure include slow operation, excessive noise, intermittent function, and the opener not responding to remotes.

What horsepower garage door opener do I need?

Single car door (under 10 ft wide): 1/2 HP is sufficient. Double car door (16 ft): 3/4 HP recommended. Heavy or insulated doors: 1 HP or 1-1/4 HP. Most homeowners are fine with 1/2 HP for standard doors.

Why does garage door opener installation cost different in Arlington than other cities?

Arlington's costs reflect local labor rates driven by the entertainment-defense-manufacturing economy, humid-subtropical climate conditions that affect materials and scheduling, and moderate permitting requirements. The competitive labor market also influences competitive pricing.
