"Groundworks were contracted to encapsulate the crawl space, with a dehumidifier, intellijacks & sump pump. The inspector showed us pictures & videos of what the work would look like on completion, & explained how each solution would be installed. They tried to charge me more for vent covers until I showed them the contract covering this part. The foreman told me there was a reset button for the sump pump to be installed on an exterior wall, but they did not install it, instead said they would put in a service order. I haven’t heard anything about this issue yet. When they installed the moister barrier, they excluded the cement pads I was told it cost extra to have them covered. When I signed the contract, I was never told there would be extra charges for vent covers or cement pads to be covered. The contract I signed covered a complete encapsulation, but this is not what I got. This is a bait & switch. I would not recommend Groundworks."

Most pros can remove an old door and hang a standard replacement in half a day. If you need structural repairs, electrical upgrades, or a custom setup, expect the job to stretch to a full day—or up to three days in complicated cases. Door type, project scope, and any add‑ons such as framing or smart‑tech wiring all extend the timeline. A quick visit from a garage‑door installer will pin down a schedule that fits your specific space.
You can swap out a door without touching the existing tracks, but only when the new panel matches the old one in size, weight, and style, and the rails are rust‑free and straight. If the tracks show dents or heavy wear, replacing them is safer and often saves headaches down the road. Let a pro confirm compatibility before you order your door; they’ll tell you whether reusing the tracks is smart or a false economy.
Most garage doors last 15 to 30 years. Material, climate, and upkeep make the difference. A steel model can deliver 15 to 20 years of reliable service with regular lubrication and rust control. Well‑maintained wood doors often push past 20 years and can hit the 30‑year mark, though they demand more sanding, sealing, and repainting. Regardless of material, harsh weather, heavy daily use, and skipped maintenance can shorten the lifespan considerably.
Converting a manual door to an automatic opener typically runs up to $2,000. That price covers the motor, remote or smart controls, and the labor to wire everything safely. Beyond convenience, an automatic system boosts security by letting you monitor and lock the door from your phone. Before installation, a licensed pro will examine your existing door and tracks to verify they can handle the added weight and torque—an essential step for smooth, long‑term operation.
