Because your garage door is the largest and heaviest moving object in your home, basically a moving wall, it makes a lot of sense to install an automatic garage door opener with entrapment protection. Not only do automatic garage door openers add convenience, they add safety and security as well. Enhanced radio and rolling-code technology, anti-burglary technology, safety sensors and automatic locking mechanisms make an automatic garage door opener an automatic choice. Skillman Doors offers a wide variety of overhead garage door openers to fit every homeowner's need.
Wood residential garage doors have a natural look and feel. Many people prefer wood for its aesthetic qualities, and it is often the first choice in residential garage door replacement. Wood garage doors require the same maintenance and finishing as wood siding or trim on your home, and in New Jersey wood garage doors must be painted or stained on a regular basis to protect them from the elements. Traditional Style Wood Residential Garage Doors are built with a wood frame and hardboard, plywood, or solid raised or flat panels.
Commercial sites have needs that are very different from residential applications, frequency of use being the most common difference. Where typically a residential garage door opener may only be used a few times a day, a commercial garage door opener may be used several times an hour. With this heavy industrial usage in mind, Skillman Doors carries a full line of LiftMaster operators that provide the highest levels of strength and durability. A Skillman Doors representative can assess precisely what you need and install a reliable system your business can count on for many years to come.
Steel garage doors, insulated or un-insulated, are a good choice for low maintenance sectional garage doors in New Jersey. Once installed, steel garage doors need no additional finishing or special care. Unlike wood or vinyl though, steel garage doors are subject to denting. The variety of available colors continues to grow, with the recent addition of wood grain finishes that from a distance look like real wood. Steel garage doors can also be painted in the color of your choice to match the details on your house.
The most costly garage door repair in New Jersey is typically the replacement of a broken spring. Other common garage door repairs include replacing broken cables, rollers, hinges, pulleys and damaged garage door sections. All Skillman Doors service vehicles are fully stocked with hardware and parts to enable the service technician to make your garage door repair as quickly as possible. Garage door springs, cables, brackets, and other hardware attached to the springs, are under very high tension and, if handled improperly, can cause serious injury.
