(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 14, 2012 ) Sacramento, CA – Doing many home repairs is always a good way of saving money. Painting, fixing the railing on one’s deck, installing a new lock on the front door, all of these can be done by someone who knows how to use a paint brush, hammer and screw driver.

The Sacramento garage door installation experience of Cost Less Garage Doors is unmatched in the industry.

Taking accurate measurements is the first area of expertise required to insure that the installation of one’s garage door is a pleasant one. Measurements have to be accurate or the door will not open and close properly and will not seal out the weather. The opening size is what the door factory will need to build your door. If the opening is a standard size, then the local Home Depot may have one in stock. If it is not a standard size, then one will need to be fabricated. That is why it is best to hire a garage door Sacramento expert like Cost Less Garage Doors to take the measurements and order the door for you. Once the door is fabricated, it cannot be returned if the opening was measured incorrectly.
Typically the most common error that a do-it-yourselfer will make when measuring for a garage door is not seeing potential problems above the door. There must be enough space above the door and a good solid surface on which to attach the springs. One should pay close attention to any obstacles, not just directly above the opening, but back into the garage as well. A standard lift door requires, enough room to lift the door and then curve it back away from the opening the full length of the door. One must also make sure that there is proper bracing to which the track and door opener can be attached. If the garage has a finished drywall ceiling, then installation becomes even more difficult. Making an error here can mean the difference between an affordable garage door installation and an expensive one.
If one is installing a sectional door in a warehouse or pole barn that has a very high ceiling, then getting the proper measurements is even more critical and difficult. In a warehouse or pole barn application, overhead room is even more critical. In most warehouses or pole barns, one usually does not want the door curving back from the opening the way that a garage door does. A standard lift door will only create a headroom problem when the door is opened.
Usually the best installation for this application is a full vertical lift door. In this application, the door goes straight up from the opening without any curving back of the track. Overhead obstacles will be even more of a concern in this application. Usually the amount of obstacle-free room above the door that is needed is more than double the height of the opening. The spring line pad will usually require at least an extra foot or so. Then one has to consider the opener that mounts above the door. Taking accurate measurements is critical. If there is not enough room for the full length of the door above the opening, one must measure up to the nearest obstacle. That will be the point that the door starts rolling back into the building. This is called a high lift application. Again one can see the importance of obtaining accurate measurements.
Whether it’s a home garage door or a sectional door for one’s pole barn, the complications involved in measuring the opening and installing all of the components may be more of a chore than the average handy man can tackle. Garage door Sacramento professionals like Cost Less Garage Doors tackle these scenarios every day and can be relied upon to take accurate measurements and install one’s sectional door correctly the first time.
