2. Choose Door Construction

There are multiple important factors when choosing new garage door construction including insulation, quality, and durability. At J.A.G. & Sons, our team of garage door specialists strives to provide quality services that will better the functional and aesthetic qualities of your home. 

At J.A.G. & Sons, we only sell and install new garage doors that meet our high-quality standards. Whether you are looking for a wood composite, wood carriage, or steel door, you can trust the garage door repairmen near you to install it correctly.

In addition to wood or steel composite types, we sell non-insulated, two-layer, and three-layer insulated garage doors to fit your noise or temperature control needs. A non-insulated door will simply be the steel sections. Two layers of insulation will include exposed insulation on the interior of your garage door. Three layers of insulation will be polyurethane or polystyrene insulation sandwiched between two layers of steel. As you move up in layers of insulation, your ability to control the noise of your garage door and the temperature of your garage move up as well. That means if you want the best in quiet and energy efficiency, choose a three-layer insulated new garage door for your home. 

3. Choose Garage Door Track and Opener

It is important to consider ceiling height and type of opener when choosing the type of track you want to be installed with your new garage door. Our tracks include low-headroom, high-lift, and 10, 12, 15, 20, and 32-inch radius tracks depending on the height of your ceiling. Low-head room tracks are shorter than a standard 15-inch radius which is great if you have especially short ceilings. On the other end, high lift tracks add additional hardware to your tracks to allow your garage door to sit higher. These are for garages that have tall ceilings. They can allow you to have a car lift or additional ceiling storage in your garage. For the standard radius options, we can determine which will best suit your garage needs. 

For garage door openers, we use chain drive, screw drive, belt drive, direct drive, and jackshaft. Each of these opener types operates at different noise levels and degrees of reliability. For the quietest, long-term function, we recommend belt drive or direct drive openers. For the most affordability, a chain drive or screw drive opener will be the best option for you. No matter your specific needs for a new garage door opener, we can install it with the best workmanship and speedy turnaround times on service.
