Garage Door Professionals

Q: How often do garage doors need maintenance?

Garage doors receive frequent use. As such, it’s recommended to service your door at least twice a year. The best time of the year to do this would be in the fall, just before the cold and wet winter. The other time would be during spring when the temperatures and moisture levels change again.

Q: How often should you change a garage door?

A garage door can last about 30 years with proper bi-annual maintenance and care in New Zealand. Circumstances such as someone driving into the door or heavy flooding could mean you need to replace the door much sooner. The lifespan of openers is much shorter, and you may have to replace the openers every ten to 15 years.

Garage door specialists are responsible for obtaining, installing, repairing and replacing doors on properties. Garages add significant value to your property by being functional and aesthetic. Whether for commercial projects, a new residential build or even a renovation, good garage door professionals can ensure that your garage is safe and secure. ArchiPro has partnered with the best garage door installers and suppliers in New Zealand to ensure your door keeps working for many years to come.

The advantages of hiring a skilled garage door professional

There are many reasons why you should hire a garage door specialist in New Zealand to install or repair your door. Not only does it keep you out of danger, but it also extends the lifespan of your door. These doors can sometimes be tricky, with tracks, motors and mechanisms that if you were to try fixing yourself without any prior experience, you could hurt yourself or cause even more damage to the door. Another reason it’s good to go with an expert is that many warranties require that professionals conduct any maintenance or repairs.

How to choose the best garage door professional for your project

To find the best professional for your project, you’ll need to look at their company profile to see how long they’ve been in business. Also, make sure to check out their previous projects and the types of jobs they specialise in and read the customer testimonials and reviews. You’ll also want to be sure they can obtain and install the right type of garage door you want. Once you’ve chosen a few potential candidates, you can arrange a meeting to discuss your project. Here are a few questions to ask your garage door specialist during the initial meeting.

What type of projects do you specialise in?
Do you have licensing and insurance in New Zealand?
Can you supply, deliver and install any garage door?
How does the warranty period work, and do you offer maintenance?
Do you offer emergency maintenance 24 hours in New Zealand?

Do you need consent for a garage door?

If you are the property owner, you do not need consent to install a garage door in New Zealand. However, if you're making any structural changes, such as adding walls, building a carport or moving structural walls, you’ll need to submit the appropriate plans and apply for the necessary permits.
