Frequently Asked Questions
New Garage Doors
When do I need to replace my garage door?
Garage doors have a lifespan of about 15 to 30 years. They should be replaced somewhere within that timeframe, whenever your garage shows signs of sagging or decay. Whenever your garage door shows signs of deterioration, call Good Guys Garage Door Solutions to replace your door.
How much does a garage door installation cost?
Garage door installation costs can vary depending on the type of brand, material, and customization done on your door, but usually ranges from $2,000 to $10,000 or more. Good Guys Garage Door Solutions takes pride in being transparent in our pricing options and offering the best solutions to all our customers.
Am I able to install my garage door myself?
Garage door installation should be done only by professionals. Trained garage door installers know how to properly install overhead doors and their components so they won’t fall off the tracks. If a garage door isn’t installed correctly, the parts may grind and rub, causing damage to not only the garage door system but your home as well.
Can I replace a section of my door, or do I need to replace the whole door?
Depending on the damage done to your door, garage door panel replacement is possible in some cases. If the damage is more than just on one panel, it may be a more cost-effective option to have a full garage door replacement.
Can people see inside my glass garage door?
With clear glass panels, yes, people will be able to see into your glass garage door. However, we offer tinted, frosted, mirrored, and etched glass which will ensure the privacy of your home while still giving you a gorgeous glass garage door.

Garage Door Repair
What causes garage door springs to break?
Garage door springs only last a finite amount of time. Just like every other garage door part, they will need to be replaced when they eventually break down. Garage door springs work together with your cables and opener to lift and lower the weight of your overhead door. Usage of your garage will over time cause these springs to experience wear and tear. When you need garage door spring replacement, call Good Guys Garage Door Solutions.
