Whether upgrading for better curb appeal, replacing a damaged door, or simply modernizing your home, getting a new garage door is a big decision—and a worthwhile investment. But what exactly happens on installation day?
Here’s a step-by-step guide to what to expect when you schedule a new garage door installation with a trusted local company like Precision Garage Door of Las Vegas.
🗓️ 1. Initial Consultation & Customization
Before installation day, you’ll meet with a technician (often during a free estimate) to discuss:
- Material options: Steel, wood, aluminum, composite, glass
- Styles: Traditional, carriage house, modern, full-view
- Color & finish choices
- Insulation levels for energy efficiency
- Smart opener compatibility
Many Las Vegas homeowners also consider insulated doors to help keep garages cooler in the summer heat.
🧰 2. Removal of Your Old Garage Door
Installation begins with careful removal of your old door. Technicians will:
- Disconnect and take down the old door panels
- Remove tracks, springs, and hardware
- Safely dispose of the old materials (ask if haul-away is included!)
🔧 3. Installation of the New Door System
Next, your new door is installed piece by piece:
- Tracks and rollers are mounted securely
- Springs (torsion or extension) are precisely calibrated
- Each panel is aligned and attached
- Weatherstripping is added for seal and insulation
- The garage door opener is connected (if included)
🧪 4. Safety Checks & System Testing
Before wrapping up, the installer will:
- Balance the door to ensure smooth movement
- Test sensors, springs, and auto-reverse features
- Sync remotes and keypads if a new opener was installed
- Explain how to operate and maintain your new system
They’ll also show you how to operate the door in case of a power outage manually.
🧼 5. Final Cleanup & Walkthrough
Once everything is installed and tested, your installer will:
- Clean up all debris and tools
- Remove packaging and materials
- Walk you through the new door’s operation
- Answer any final questions
