FAQs
How do you handle fence rail separation common in Washington, DC?
Fence rail separation often happens due to moisture and temperature changes. We re-secure the rails with galvanized brackets and screws, then reinforce the joints to prevent future shifting. Our repairs are designed to hold up against DC’s humid summers and freeze-thaw cycles.
Can you convert my manual garage door to an automatic one?
Yes, we can convert manual doors to automatic operation. This involves installing a new opener, safety sensors, and keypad, plus adjusting the door’s balance and tracks. We handle the full conversion so your door opens with the push of a button.
What should I do if my garage door safety sensors stop working?
First, check if the sensors are misaligned or blocked. We can realign them, clean the lenses, and test the wiring. If the sensors are damaged, we’ll replace them to restore the safety feature that prevents the door from closing on people or objects.
