Homeowners often ask – which is the best garage door opener? That is a very good question, but the answer might surprise you.

Most people don’t know what model of garage door opener they currently have installed, and for good reason. Garage doors and garage door openers usually have names like “the 3610” or “the 8550,” which can be difficult to remember and don’t mean much to your average homeowner. In fact, homeowners may not even know what they’re looking for in an opener – what they do know, is what they don’t like about their opener. Maybe it’s too loud, or it’s slow, or it doesn’t always open when you push the remote’s button.

Hello! DIY enthusiasm is at an all-time high, with sources like Pinterest and Youtube letting homeowners learn any skill they want and attempt any number of repairs or installations in their home, without the trouble and cost of hiring a professional. In many cases, a DIY approach can be just as good as the real thing – there are still, however, things that you should trust an expert to do. Not only is it safer to hire an expert, but it saves you trouble and time. There are kinds of costs besides money, after all, and if you want to avoid the DIY stress that can come with a major home project, consider hiring a professional instead of attempting to handle the job yourself. In the Charlotte area, we have responded to several homes where homeowners have tried to fix things themselves, and just as often as not homeowners end up injuring themselves or damaging their home. There is no substitute for the kind of long-term experience that we bring to the job!

The garage door is typically thought of as one of the noisiest parts of your home, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Although many garage doors are poorly maintained and therefore end up being rather loud, if noise is a concern then there are a number of simple steps you can take to reduce the amount of noise that operating your door makes. Some of these steps might place you at risk, so we recommend only having an expert perform this maintenance, but some of the simpler steps can be safely performed by homeowners. If your garage door sounds like a dinosaur, like in the video attached, frankly that is awesome and we don’t suggest changing it. But if your door is a boring sort of loud, these simple steps can help reduce the noise and keep you sane.
