Are you considering getting a new garage door? If this is your first garage door installation, or it has been a while since your last installation, the process may seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. We’ve collected some of the most common garage door installation questions to share expert insight on the process.
Working with a reputable, full-service garage door company will make the process as smooth as possible, but it’s always wise to do your homework before diving into any home improvement project. Use this guide to learn all the must-know information about garage door installation.
While it is theoretically possible to DIY a garage door installation, it is not a good idea. Installing a garage door can lead to injury and damage to your home. Garage doors weigh hundreds of pounds and require experienced installation and specialized tools. If you do any aspect of the installation wrong, your garage door will not work correctly. Installing your garage door yourself will also most likely void any warranty offers. We recommend saving your time and energy and trusting professional technicians to ensure safe, accurate installation.
At Halo Overhead Doors, we offer various high-end garage doors. Our selections come from leading manufacturers like Clopay®, Martin Doors, Wayne Dalton and AMARR®. When you shop with us, you’ll have a selection of the best garage doors in the industry.
To accommodate different design styles, needs and preferences, we carry multiple garage door types, including:
Yes, our experts at Halo Overhead Doors can install any door. While we specialize in Clopay® door installation, we have experience with all garage door styles, brands and materials. So, no matter what door you choose, our team can safely and properly install it.
Your new garage door’s warranty will depend on the type of door and the manufacturer’s policy. To find your specific warranty, visit your manufacturer’s website. If you’re unsure of your door’s manufacturer, someone on our team can help identify it. Remember, a DIY installation will likely void any warranty.
In addition to your garage door’s warranty, you’ll also receive a one-year warranty for installation when you have your door professionally installed by Halo Overhead Doors. This warranty does not cover the product itself, just any issues related to the installation process.
Glass garage doors are a beautiful and luxurious addition to any home. Glass garage doors also come in many color options and types of glass. Clopay® Avante® garage doors have aluminum framing and glass, aluminum or acrylic panels.

Other color options or custom colors may also be available. Some glass doors can also be insulated or WindCode® compliant.
The maintenance required for your garage door will depend on a few factors, such as your garage door type, frequency of use and the weather in your area. However, one thing is for sure — maintenance keeps your door performing at optimal function and helps extend your garage door’s service life.
Garage door maintenance can range from basic cleaning to broken part replacement. You can tackle your garage door maintenance yourself, or book a professional maintenance service to ensure your garage door is in top shape.

Clopay® designates a WindCode® rating for doors based on wind speed in miles per hour, home exposure and structural type. Our WindCode® garage doors comply with strict building codes to ensure safety even in severe winds. A secure, wind-resistant lock keeps your door securely in place during intense storms.
WindCode® garage doors can handle positive pressure, which is when wind blows against the door, and negative pressure, which is when wind pulls on the door. With our reinforced doors installed, your garage is ready to take on any weather you face.
With so many excellent options, it can be hard to decide which garage door is the best fit for your home. We recommend starting by looking up inspiration pictures online, exploring the Clopay® online lookbook or taking a tour around your neighborhood to see what type of garage doors are popular in your area. Make a list of the things you like and dislike to narrow down your options.

I was very happy with the service I was provided. The gentleman, Jaime G., came and installed my new garage door opener and showed me how to use it. He was very thorough and left my garage looking cleaner than it was before he got there!
