We take a great deal of pride in our quality customer service, and we want to make sure that every customer we have is happy with us and our services.

Word-of-mouth marketing is the best kind of marketing there is, hands down.

We would be so appreciative if you would sit back and think about your experience with our company and how good our service was and/or how good our team was in getting the job done right the first time.

Below are a few links to some of the review sites where we are listed:

Roseville Garage Door Repairs: When To Call In The Experts
Posted on by

Garage door repairs can be a hassle. Your Roseville garage door is the biggest automatic machinery in your home, but how often do you really think about it and how well it’s working? Most people only think of garage door repairs when they are needed. Some garage door repairs you can do on your own, but for the most part, you need to call in experts like Premium Garage Door Service when you need Roseville garage door repairs. Here is a list of common garage door repairs. In this blog, we are going to take a further look at the Roseville garage door repairs that should always be done by the experts.

One of the most basic things you can do for preventative garage door repairs is to listen to the mechanism as it’s going up and down. If you hear any unusual noises, or if the mechanism isn’t moving as smoothly as usual (or at all!), that’s when you need to call Premium Garage Door Service. Because garage doors are so big and heavy, it’s imperative that an expert comes out to resolve the problem. If you try to make garage door repairs on your own, you could be injured or cause more damage to the door or your garage (or your car!).

For example, you might think you can oil the mechanism yourself. But sometimes, Roseville homeowners will use the wrong kind of oil or they will lubricate the wrong part of the mechanism. Both mistakes can make the problem worse and lead to more garage door repairs. This can be a hassle and cost you more money in the long run.

Faulty springs and a bad motor are also problems that an expert needs to look at and adjust. Buying the wrong kind of spring or improperly fixing the motor could lead to damage and injuries later down the road. It’s best to get someone who knows what they are doing to come to your Roseville home and fix the problem for you. You might think you can save a few bucks doing it yourself, but it’s very important that these garage door repairs are done properly the first time.

For all of your Roseville garage door repairs, call Premium Garage Door Service. We can be reached at (651) 344-0489 or you can contact us online. We proudly serve Roseville and the surrounding areas.

Professional Repair Makes All the Difference
Posted on by

When it comes to garage doors, without a doubt there are a lot of moving parts.  In addition to hinges, chains or worm gears, brackets and such, there are also many moving parts that require extra care for safety reasons.  Motors and springs, for example, can be especially dangerous if not installed or adjusted properly by a professional garage door installer.

In many cases, minor adjustments can be made by the homeowner in accordance with the technical specification and troubleshooting guide in the garage door opener instruction manual.  However, more serious problems such as broken or improperly tensioned garage door springs can inflict injury or death to an unsuspecting bystander or homeowner who undertakes the job without the right tools and experience.

Besides the risks involved, it often will also take a non-professional a comparatively huge amount of time and expense to troubleshoot and correct problems, likely requiring rework for a less-than-satisfactory result.  Garage door preventive maintenance is one thing.  Full-blown repairs to a damaged system is quite another story.

For those inclined to attempt it themselves, homeowners should at least use proper protective gear such as gloves and safety glasses when making any adjustments to moving parts.  It’s just not worth the risk to pinch a finger or lose an eye just to save a few dollars.   And working with greased parts such as the worm gear or chain that pulls raises and lowers the garage door can make quite a mess of clothing, so having soap, water and some rags around is a good idea as well.

Consider the alternative: a professional repair that is performed safely and in a timely manner without risk of life or limb to yourself or your family.  A job-well-done will bring peace of mind and make significantly less of an impact on your pocketbook.

Garage Door Repair After Severe Weather
Posted on by

Garage door repairs come in all shapes and sizes, and are performed for many reasons. Our skilled team of Twin Cities garage door repair experts has seen it all. One of the reasons people seek garage door repair, is because of storm damage. The damage caused by a storm can depend on the type and severity of the storm. If you are unsure about the extent of the damage, be sure to give us a call before attempting repairs yourself. If the damage is extreme, it may be dangerous for you to try to handle them yourself.

Hailstorm
Most hail damage to a garage door is nothing more than an eyesore. But, in some rare cases, hail damage is severe enough to cause lasting damage. It has been reported in the past that hail knocked out garage door windows and severely dented the panels. If you need garage door panels, or your whole garage door replaced, give us a call.

Ice Damage
Did you ever have it happen where you garage door was stuck together by a layer of ice? If not, consider yourself lucky. Some people end up causing extensive damage to their garage door by pushing the garage door opener button over and over again, when it’s stuck. This can result in a burned out motor, stripped gears, broken coils, among other problems. If you find yourself in this situation, we can help.

High Winds
High winds themselves probably won’t damage your garage door, but the debris they carry might. Depending on the strength of the winds, you may be dealing with tree limbs, trashcan lids and more. The extent of damage after high winds can greatly vary depending on the size of the debris. You may have minor dents or major problems preventing the door from opening or closing. Either way, we can help.
