How to Tell If You Need New Garage Doors

As you can guess from our name, we at Access Garage Doors of Chattanooga specialize in all things garage doors, including maintenance, repair, and replacement. While our team will do our best to repair any damage that your garage doors have suffered and fix any malfunctions, in some cases your best option will be to replace the doors altogether. In this article, we’ll go over a few ways to tell if it’s time to replace your current garage doors with newer models.

• Frequent Malfunctions- One sign that your garage doors may be nearing the end of their lifespan is frequent malfunctions or breakdowns. While it’s possible to get a garage door working properly again after the occasional problem, if your door is breaking down on a regular basis, you should consider replacing it.
• Outdated Design- Even if your garage door seems to be working fine, you may still want to replace it if the design is too outdated. The technology and aesthetic design of garage doors has come a long way, and you can substantially improve your garage door’s functionality, security, and appearance by swapping it out for a new model.
• Poor Energy Efficiency- A third reason to consider replacing your garage doors is poor energy efficiency. If your current doors are not insulated or their seals have broken down over the years, your home or business is likely wasting a good deal of energy as the building takes on or loses heat. Our team can provide a high-quality replacement that will prevent this heat transfer and improve your building’s energy efficiency significantly.
