Structural integrity

Proper framing supports the door, preventing track misalignment and wear.

Safety

Well-framed doors will not fall or fail easily, reducing the risk of injury or property damage.

Precise framing also helps to prevent drafts and heat loss, making the building energy-efficient.

Aesthetics

It improves the look of your home by enabling a neat installation and effective weather stripping.

Garage Door Framing Process

Our comprehensive strategy encompasses several factors that ensure a strong foundation and safe connection of the structure. We have developed the following stringent garage door framing procedure to ensure the system's proper functioning and durability.

Design and planning

We start by comprehensively evaluating your garage door and assessing your specific requirements.

The process begins with measuring the rough opening, considering the width, height, ceiling material, and the distance between the garage floor and the rough header to accommodate the door, tracks, and spring system. Our experts use a tape measure to ensure accuracy, as even small discrepancies can affect the door's operation.

This phase also involves identifying proper framing materials and developing a comprehensive plan for framing.

First, the prime header must be installed, which is responsible for holding the door's weight and properly distributing it.

Next, we erect the PVC door jambs and ensure that they are plum and tightly fastened to the wall. The head jamb is then installed, creating a finished opening that's square and level.

Specific consideration is given to the mechanics of the springs, particularly the placement of the center bracket for the spring system.

The next step is to build the frame's vertical jambs and fasten them to ensure they are vertical and properly attached.

We then add horizontal supports and bracing to reinforce the frame’s stability.

The frame is properly aligned to achieve the right orientation and to facilitate the easy operation of a door.

The last phase is insulation to protect the frame from moisture and insects.

During this process, our well-qualified technicians follow strict quality standards, guaranteeing a sturdy, well-constructed frame that forms the foundation for your garage door's optimal functionality and appearance.

DIY vs. Professional Garage Door Framing

Although some homeowners may wish to frame their garage doors themselves, the intricacy of the process makes it more reasonable to hire a professional. DIY attempts can lead to common mistakes such as improper goal post installation, misaligned frames, or inadequate attachment to the ceiling and walls. These errors can result in door malfunction, energy loss, and safety hazards.

Our professionals are fully knowledgeable about room dynamics, wood selection, and precise measurements. We skillfully place and fasten the frame, particularly paying attention to levelness and its attachment to the ceiling and floor. Our team employs excellent materials to give a firm framework that enhances the strength of your garage door system.
