Water leaking from behind gutters, for example between the gutter and the facia board, is often due to a roofing or other external issue rather than a problem with the gutters. The most common issues that can cause water to leak from behind the gutters are short shingle overhangs and shingle ski slopes (which occurs when the shingles curl up at the end). The good thing is that both problems are easy to fix by adding a drip edge or a gutter apron to redirect the water back into the gutters.

It is recommended that gutters be installed under the drip edge. Drip edge is an important component to any home, as it promotes water to run freely down your roof edge down into your gutters. Without drip edge, water may run down or behind your gutter, down facia board, and siding, and can eventually lead to damage. When working correctly, drip edge and gutters work together to control the direction of the water and protect the underlying components of the building.

Typically, our technicians will program your keypad for you on the day that they install your garage door. However, if we did not install your garage door, you replaced the keypad, or you would like to change your keypad pin, then the following steps will allow you to program the keypad yourself: Clear the garage door area of any obstructions. Locate the LEARN button on the keypad. Press the LEARN button twice. The LED will flash. Enter a 4-digit pin of your choice on the keypad, and press ENTER. The opener lights will blink, indicating the PIN programming is complete.

There is nothing wrong with wanting an insulated garage door or a non-insulated one, but there are differences between the two that each buyer should be aware of when deciding which door will work better for their home or commercial building. Insulated garage doors are normally constructed with two layers of steel surrounding one layer of insulation. Insulated garage doors are thick, energy-efficient, and typically recommended for most homes. The only real drawback of insulated doors is that they typically cost more than non-insulated doors. However, you may consider the price a worthwhile investment because insulated doors often increase the value of a home. Non-insulated garage doors are more commonly used for detached garages and are more common in regions with a milder climate. While a non-insulated door may save you more money initially, they are noisier when operating and tend to be less attractive than an insulated door because they appear thinner and less sturdy.

A normal garage door installation takes about two hours. During this time, the technician will assemble the door, track, motor, and all other required accessories. They will also mount the door and program the sensors, keypad, and openers to ensure that everything is working correctly.
