Getting a new garage door is an exciting upgrade for your home. Whether you’re replacing a damaged door or giving your curb appeal a much-needed boost, knowing what to expect during the installation process can help make everything go smoothly.

At State Line Garage Door, we believe in keeping our customers informed every step of the way. Here’s what you can expect when we install a new garage door at your home.

✅ Step 1: On-Site Prep and Safety

Before the new door can go up, we prepare your garage by:

• Clearing the work area

• Laying down protective materials if needed

• Ensuring power is available for tools and opener installation

Time estimate: ~15–30 minutes
Noise level: Minimal—mostly light prep and movement

🔧 Step 2: Removal of the Old Door

We’ll safely disconnect and remove your existing garage door, including the panels, tracks, and opener (if it’s being replaced). All parts are handled with care and disposed of properly—or recycled when possible.

Time estimate: ~30–45 minutes
Noise level: Moderate—some power tools and careful dismantling

🚪 Step 3: Installation of the New Door

Now comes the fun part—installing your brand-new door! This includes:

• Attaching and balancing the panels

• Installing new tracks and hardware

• Mounting the spring system

• Checking alignment and balance

• Lubricating all moving parts

Time estimate: ~1.5–2.5 hours (depending on door size and complexity)
Noise level: Moderate to high—power tools, hammering, and spring adjustments

⚙️ Step 4: Garage Door Opener Installation (if applicable)

If you’re also upgrading your opener, we’ll install and program your new unit, sync remotes, and test safety sensors. We’ll also walk you through how to use the new system.

Time estimate: ~45–60 minutes
Noise level: Moderate

🧼 Step 5: Cleanup and Walkthrough

We believe in leaving your space cleaner than we found it. Our team will:

• Remove all old materials

• Vacuum or sweep the area

• Conduct a full safety and function walkthrough with you

Time estimate: ~15–30 minutes
Noise level: None

👂 FAQs Homeowners Ask Us

“Will I need to be home?”
It’s best if someone is available to answer any questions, especially during the final walkthrough.

“How long will it take?”
Most installs take 3 to 5 hours total. Larger or more custom doors may take a bit longer.

“Do you take away the old door?”
Yes! We’ll remove and dispose of your old door unless you request otherwise.
