Garage Door Installer in New York

We believe that a real professional, whether it is a garage door technician in Huntington NY, or a Roll down gate installer, should be able to do the entire repairs and services the industry require. If someone only know how to repair garage doors, but do not know how to install a new garage door, we will not consider him a pro, and vice versa. The reason that a technician should be a pro in all aspects is that sometime he will need to determine whether the garage can be repaired or not; and that require a general knowledge.
All our garage technicians in New York are professionals. They have the experience and the knowledge, combined with high quality tools, which are required to perform all types of installations in New York. The reason that a professional installer must be experienced, is that each installation is unique, and require different method to complete the project, and this is where the experience become important.

Garage Door Opener Installation New York

If you live in New York and own an overhead garage door, but you never installed a garage opener, you will be surprised by how much an electric opener can improve the quality of life. Just think that instead getting out of the car to open the garage when you want to park inside, and manually open the door, and then again get out of the car and close the door manually; sometime few times a day. It can really be exhausting. The garage door opener is a great invention, which allow us to open and close the door remotely, without touching the door itself and without using any force. If you are located in New York, and consider installing a new opener, we are here to assist you.
From residential to commercial overhead garage door, we are here for you. The garage operators that we use, are always from the top quality, and from the leading garage openers manufactures in New York. We know that you can get lost in the endless options of new garage doors and new garage doors openers. But just as we mentioned before – do not compromise for the quality of the garage door opener, and about the quality of the installer, since those 2 things are what going to determine if your are going to get a garage door that going to work and serve you for years, (sometime for more than 20 years!) or one that is going to need a repair service every other year.

Which opener is recommended for garage in New York?

There are few garage door openers manufactures in New York, who offer top quality openers. Some of them are ok, some of them are good, and some of them are the best. There isn’t one opinion that all the garage contractors in New York will agree about, so we will just tell you what we at Matalonco think.
After many years of installing and servicing openers in New York, we got to the conclusion that the openers from the Lift-Mater brand are the openers we prefer to install. It is not that we cannot install other new garage opener, it is just that when we perform a garage door project, whether it is a garage door repair or new installation in New York, we put our name on the job, and we prefer to put our name on an opener that was made by Lift Master.
The type of opener, Belt or Chain drive doesn’t matter, and the type of door also do not matter. We learned that Lift master is a company that you can trust to deliver a high quality, strong and reliable opener.

Should I repair or install a new garage door?

If we had a dollar for every time we are being asked that question, we would stop repairing and installing overhead garage in New York, and just answer that question. The truth is that there is no way to answer the question without physically inspect the garage door and its parts, and beside safety reasons, which the answer in those cases is clear and that is to replace the door and install a new door, we will always recommend to send a technician to inspect it first.
But even that we cannot give you one answer to the question, we will try and give you few options and tips that will help you determine if installing a new door or repairing the existing door will be the right decision.

1. What is the condition of the door? The condition does not have to anything to do with how old is the garage. We saw garages in New York that were more than 20 years old, and still look good and safe for use, and we saw garage doors that are less than 10 years old and the only thing we could recommend was to remove them and install new door.
2. How much will it cost to repair it? A good technician will tell you the price of the repair, but will also tell you the price of a new installation, and let you make the decision. Repairing the garage door is not always the cheapest choice. We had projects in New York where the owner insisted to repair the door regardless of the cost of a new garage door.
3. Where the garage is located? If the door is installed in the front of the house, and it is old and lost its color, it may be another reason to consider replacing it. A new garage door can really improve the way a house look, especially when it is installed in the front.
4. What type of door you have? If you own a non-insulated garage door, you may want to upgrade it to an insulated one.
5. Should I repair or replace the opener? If your opener is so old that there are no safety sensors installed, you should replace it. Today, it is illegal and dangerous to install or repair an opener which doesn’t include a safety feature like safety sensors. (We will not service an opener in New York with no safety feature) If the opener is too noisy, and you want to replace it to a quieted Belt Drive opener. If your opener is too weak to lift and lower the door, and there is nothing that can be done to change that.

Where in New York can I purchase a new garage door?

If you are asking that question, you are probably considering purchasing a new garage door and install it by doing it yourself. In that case there are few things you should know, that may change your mind about installing the door by yourself, or that will help you to perform the installation in the best way.
There are many suppliers in New York, offering all sorts of garage doors. As we recommended earlier, choose a garage door from a leading brand, since it is going to last for many years. The best thing for you to do will be to read online reviews of garage door companies in New York, and to choose which one to work with. You can purchase it from Amarr doors, Wayne Dalton and Clopay, which we consider as reliable manufactures, and that we service their doors for many years in New York.



What should I know if I want to install the new door by myself?

1. The first thing is to check the restrictions that apply to where you live in. The restrictions for a garage door in Alexandria VA are different from those which apply to a garage in New York.
2. Get the right garage door! You may find a design that you like, the color your prefer and even a supplier that give you a good deal for the new garage door, but if you did not measure the it, you may face hard time installing it.
3. Learn the subject! Make sure you understand the garage door and its mechanism. If you are not sure, stop and ask.
4. Always follow the safety rules. It doesn’t matter what type of home improvement it is. Whether it is a Commercial gate repair in Washington DC, or a roll up gate repair in NYC, there is a reason for the safety guidelines and ignoring them can get your injured. Remember that no money worth your health and safety.
5. Use the right tools! Using improvised tools, which are not designed for garage door installation, can prevent you from completing the job, but more important can lead to serious injuries and even death.

If you still insist to install the door by yourself, here are few links that can help you understand the process and guide you through the installation. But even after watching the Videos and going over many tutorials, remember that every garage is unique, and may have different structure that may require different approach and different method of installation.
