How much does a new garage door cost?

The cost of a new garage door varies depending on the size, material, style, and features. Basic single-car garage doors start around $600-$900, while premium insulated double-car doors can range from $1,500-$4,000+. We offer free in-home estimates to provide accurate pricing for your specific needs.

How long does garage door installation take?

Most garage door installations can be completed in 4-6 hours. This includes removing your old door, installing the new door and hardware, setting up the opener, and testing everything. More complex installations with custom doors may take longer.

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend professional maintenance at least once a year. Regular maintenance includes lubricating moving parts, checking spring tension, testing safety features, tightening hardware, and inspecting cables and rollers. This prevents costly repairs and extends the life of your door.

What are signs my garage door springs need replacement?

Warning signs include: the door feels heavier than usual, the door opens unevenly or crooked, visible gaps in the springs, loud squeaking or grinding noises, and the door won't stay open. Springs typically last 10,000 cycles (about 7-10 years). Never attempt to replace springs yourself – they're under extreme tension.

Do you offer emergency garage door repair?

Yes! We provide 24/7 emergency garage door repair services. Whether your door is stuck, off-track, or you have a broken spring, our technicians are available around the clock. Call (198) 052-89729 for immediate assistance.

What brands of garage doors do you install?

We install and service all major garage door brands including Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, CHI, and more. For openers, we work with Chamberlain, LiftMaster, Genie, and other leading manufacturers. We'll help you choose the best option for your needs and budget.

Can I replace just one panel of my garage door?

In many cases, yes. If only one panel is damaged and your door is relatively new, panel replacement can be a cost-effective solution. However, if your door is older or has multiple damaged panels, replacing the entire door may be more economical in the long run.

Why is my garage door making loud noises?

Common causes of noisy garage doors include: worn rollers, loose hardware, lack of lubrication, misaligned tracks, or worn springs. Some noises are normal, but new or unusual sounds should be inspected. Our technicians can diagnose the issue and recommend the best solution.

Yes, Morven Garage Doors is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Our technicians are background-checked and certified by major manufacturers. This protects you and ensures quality workmanship on every job.

Do you offer warranties on your work?

Absolutely. All our installations come with manufacturer warranties on parts and materials. We also provide our own labor warranty. Specific warranty terms vary by product, so ask your technician for details during your consultation.

How do I know if my garage door needs to be replaced vs repaired?

Consider replacement if: your door is more than 15-20 years old, repairs would cost more than 50% of a new door, you're experiencing frequent breakdowns, or your door lacks modern safety features. Our technicians provide honest assessments and will never recommend replacement if repair makes more sense.

Why Florence Homes Need a Local Garage Door Specialist

Florence sits in the heart of the Pee Dee region, where humid summers and occasional ice storms put unique stress on garage door systems. Springs corrode faster here than in drier climates. Openers work harder when humidity causes wooden doors to swell. We've serviced everything from historic homes in the downtown district to newer construction in West Florence and the growing developments along Highway 52.

The housing variety in Florence means no two service calls look identical. Older homes often have single car garages with original hardware that needs careful replacement to avoid damaging vintage door frames. Newer subdivisions typically feature two and three car garages with insulated steel doors and belt drive openers. Both need attention from technicians who understand the differences.

Most Florence garage doors fail the same way. Springs break after 7 to 9 years of daily use, not the 10 years some manufacturers claim. Cables fray where they loop around the drum. Rollers crack when metal stems rust through their nylon wheels. These aren't problems you can put off. A broken spring means your door weighs 150 pounds with no counterbalance, and that's dangerous.

What We Do for Florence Homeowners

Our spring replacement work covers both torsion springs (mounted on the header above the door) and extension springs (running along the horizontal tracks). We replace springs in matched pairs because when one breaks, the other is just as old and just as worn. Each installation includes a full balance test and safety cable check.

Opener installation brings your garage into this decade. We install LiftMaster belt drive systems for quiet operation, Chamberlain units with battery backup for storm protection, and Genie models with smartphone control. Every opener install includes new wall buttons, two remotes, and programming your existing keypads if they're compatible.

Cable and roller repair often happens during spring calls because these parts wear together. We carry commercial grade cables rated for residential door weights and steel rollers with sealed bearings that outlast the cheap zinc versions big box stores sell. Full door replacement becomes necessary when sections rust through or panels crack beyond repair. We measure, order, and install insulated steel doors from trusted manufacturers with real warranties.

What Florence Customers Tell Us

"Called at 8am with a broken spring and couldn't get my car out. They arrived at 1:30pm, replaced both springs, and adjusted the door so it finally closes all the way to the concrete. Should have called them years ago for that gap issue." . Rebecca T., West Florence

"Our opener died during that ice storm in January. They came out the next day when roads cleared, installed a LiftMaster with battery backup, and showed my wife how to use the wall button lockout when we travel. Professional from start to finish." . David M., 29501

We've repaired original wooden doors from the 1940s and 50s, tracked down period appropriate replacement sections, and retrofitted modern springs to vintage mounting systems. The goal is safe operation that doesn't destroy the character of your home or require you to replace a perfectly good door.

What breaks most often on Florence garage doors?

Springs fail first, usually between year seven and nine. The humidity here accelerates rust on the coils, especially if your garage isn't climate controlled. After springs, we see roller failures where the steel stems rust and snap, then cable issues where fraying starts at the bottom bracket attachment point. Openers usually last 12 to 15 years before the circuit boards fail or the drive gears strip out.

How much does spring replacement cost in Florence?

Standard torsion spring replacement for a two car garage door runs between $225 and $285 depending on door weight and spring quality. That includes both springs, full balance adjustment, and safety inspection of cables and rollers. Heavier doors or custom spring sizes cost more.
