Try Houston Overhead Door for All Houston Garage Door Repair or Replacement Needs

An article in Remodel Magazine reports that garage door replacement is one of the top recommendations for home renovations that can increase the value of a property.  A good Houston garage door repair service can help determine whether an existing door needs to be repaired or whether it would be better to completely replace it. There are times when garage doors are damaged so badly that they should be replaced altogether.  An example might be when a car accidentally backs through the door and virtually removes it altogether.   However, when garage doors in Houston sustain less serious damage or simply stop working, a good repair service can be called upon to restore them to their original working condition.  When making the decision between garage door replacement or repair, it can help to know the various components that comprise overhead doors.  Houston Overhead Door is a competent Houston garage door repair service that is knowledgable about all overhead door components. Our garage door parts range from the smallest components, such as fasteners, small fixtures and hinges to much larger parts, such as door springs and mechanical operators.  Garage doors themselves usually consist of steel panels that are presented in sections reinforced with stiles.  These are interconnected with rollers and hinges.  A structural support, in the form of a bottom bracket, provides a platform for attachment of the lifting cables that make the door go up and down smoothly.  When the door opens, the cable drum allows the cables to wind around it via torsion springs while extension springs extend the door’s horizontal tracks. Houston Garage Door Repair service notes three different track components that make the doors operate correctly.  The horizontal track is one that is attached to the ceiling.  When the door is raised, it rests within this track.  The radius track exists as part of the horizontal track, but is curved from the ceiling of the garage to the vertical plane of the door.  The vertical track is installed on either side of the garage door opening.   If any of these three track components become bent or loose, they can cause the entire door to malfunction. The same is true for the extension springs that raise and lower the door. In most cases, garage doors have what is known as a window lite or glazed section of one panel that contains tempered glass or sheets of clear acrylic to allow for better interior visibility and light.   They come in both fixed styles and can also be installed on sliders for opening.  Garage door repair specialists can replace these window lites as needed with a variety of different types of class or acrylic. Regardless of whether you need replacement parts, or want to replace the entire garage door, Houston Overhead door can offer competent professional assistance.  Call us today.
