At Superior Overhead Door, we believe in giving clear, straightforward answers. Here are the top FAQs we hear from customers across McHenry County and Northern Illinois.
Installation Questions
Q: How long does it take to install a new garage door?
A: Most standard garage door installations are completed in just one day.
Q: What types of garage doors do you install?
A: We install everything from traditional steel garage doors to more stylish carriage-style composite doors, and modern doors made from glass and aluminum. Our team will help you choose the best option for your home’s style, budget, and energy efficiency needs.
Q: Do new garage doors add value to my home?
A: Absolutely. A new garage door is consistently ranked as one of the highest ROI home improvements, boosting curb appeal and resale value.
Repair & Service Questions
Q: Can you really do same-day garage door repair?
A: Yes! In most cases, we offer same-day service throughout McHenry County, Lake County, and northern Kane County. From broken springs to off-track doors, or broken cables, our trucks are stocked to handle repairs on the spot!
Q: My garage door is noisy—does that mean it needs repair?
A: Not always. Sometimes a quick tune-up or lubrication solves the problem. But loud grinding or banging can signal worn parts. A technician can tell you if it’s a minor adjustment or if parts need replacement.
Q: Is it safe to fix garage door springs myself?
A: We don’t recommend it. Springs are under extreme tension and can cause injury. Always call a professional for spring or cable repairs.
Q: Should I replace both torsion springs if only one is broken?
A: Yes. It is generally recommended to replace both springs, as they are ‘wear items,’ like brakes on your car. When one spring breaks, the other spring is typically not far behind.
Cost & Maintenance Questions
Q: How much does garage door repair usually cost?
A: Costs vary depending on the issue, but we provide upfront, transparent pricing before work begins—no surprises. Minor repairs may be under $150, while larger issues like spring replacement typically cost a few hundred.
Q: Do you offer warranties?
A: Yes. We stand behind our work with warranties on parts and labor, giving you peace of mind long after the job is done.
Q: How often should I maintain my garage door?
A: We recommend a professional tune-up once a year. Regular maintenance helps prevent costly breakdowns and extends the life of your system.
