Door Savvy was a true five star (5 🌟) experience. While closing the garage door, I heard a loud snap but the door closed fully. I discovered that the torsion spring broke into two pieces. I searched out Garage Door Services on Google, and was impressed with the universally great reviews of Door Savvy. They were true to reputation, came in a 1 hour time window, gave an estimate right away, had the part, and fixed this little disaster. An added bonus was a nice tune up and a price that I considered fair. My wife said the technician was well organised, respectful, and knew his trade. A positive experience was had, and can recommend Door Savvy without hesitation.

After reading the great reviews for Door Savvy, we called them to fix our garage door opener. They were able to send someone that afternoon! Terry arrived earlier than scheduled, which was appreciated. He was very knowledgeable and assessed the issue. Since our opener was over 22 years old, we decided to replace it with a new one. Terry was very efficient and had the new opener installed and our door working in a short period of time. He meticulously cleaned up after the installation and instructed us on the features of the new system. He was very professional and helpful. We would recommend calling Door Savvy.

My Door Savvy experience was outstanding from start to finish. I called and received service the same day. Thomas was incredible. He clearly explained every step of the repair and never made me feel rushed in answering my many questions. Thomas took the time to assess the rest of the components and give me an estimate on how long they were likely to last. He also secured my sensor wire and replaced my indoor pad, even though they weren't part of the original service plan. All done at an extremely reasonable cost. It's rare to find this level of honesty, professionalism and care. I would highly recommend Door Savvy to anyone needing garage door repairs. Thomas was truly exceptional.

Recent work done at my dad's house. Old garage opener dead. Terry came by the next day to explain what happened to the old opener and provided estimate on replacement -- provided options. We agreed on replacement and he came the following day to replace the old opener and install the new one. After completing the job, as promised, he found a couple more issues that may prematurely cause the new opener to fail. He recommended replacing the old (rusty) rollers and replace the (frayed) stainless steel cables adjacent to the rollers. The coil at the top was fine. I didn't consider it upselling but necessary work to maintain the opener. It's amazing to think the old opener lasted 34 years before it died. Not because of maintenance (which my parents did not do) but probably good luck. Nevertheless, I found Terry to be professional, punctual, and an honest hard worker. I would have no problems recommending this company for future work replacing a garage door +/- opener.

Just finished talking to Ed from Door Savvy about my garage door not working, pressed the remote and the lights blinking but won’t open. He told me to checked the sensors, make sure there’s no obstruction and not loose. He solved my problem on the phone. I’m lucky to talk to an honest, helpful person. Thank you so much Ed

Want to thank the guys from Door Savvy for getting my garage door working again. Had an issue and they came out the next day to replace my opener. Arrived on time and cleaned up and took all the old product away. Appreciate the work. Would definitely recommend if anyone needs work done.

Thomas did a great job in fixing my garage door. He was prompt and very clear in the diagnosis and very transparent on what needs fixing. And above all, he was able to address the problem completely and get the door working again. Highly recommend Thomas for garage door services. Thank you

The Importance of Weather Stripping

Weatherstripping is critical to keeping your garage insulated, secure, and energy efficient. It fills the gaps around your garage door, blocking the cold air, moisture, and pests while saving you energy costs.

Energy Efficiency

By sealing gaps, weather stripping minimizes drafts and helps reduce your energy bills, making your home more energy-efficient.

When to Replace Your Weather Stripping

When to replace your weather stripping can save you more significant problems in the future. Look out for these indications that it might be time to move on:

Cracks and Gaps

Visible cracks or gaps in the weather stripping allow air and moisture to enter your garage, compromising its insulation.

Fraying and Peeling

Weather stripping that is fraying or peeling at the edges is no longer effective and needs replacement.

Visible Wear and Tear

Normal wear and tear of everyday use can erode the weather stripping and lessen its ability to seal your garage door.

Types of Weather Stripping

We offer two main types of weather stripping to suit different needs and preferences:

V-Shaped Weather Stripping

Commonly used and made from flexible vinyl or rubber, V-shaped weather stripping fits snugly into the door’s metal track but can become brittle over time.

Bulb-Style Weather Stripping

Featuring a small air bulb at the bottom, bulb-style weather stripping provides an additional buffer against water, wind, and debris, and tends to be more durable than V-shaped weather stripping.

DIY vs. Professional Services

While some may opt for DIY weather stripping replacement, professional services offer several advantages.

Pros and Cons of DIY

  • Pros: Cost-effective, immediate fix.
  • Cons: Potential for improper installation, lower quality materials, and no warranty.

Professional Services

  • Pros: Expert installation, high-quality materials, and warranty coverage.
