Jamie & Sons Overhead Doors
Jamie & Sons Overhead Doors is a licensed and insured garage door company based on Upham Street in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, working with homeowners on residential garage and overhead doors. The company describes itself as the Wheat Ridge neighborhood garage door professionals, and its work covers spring repair, opener installation and repair, panel replacement, roller replacement, misaligned tracks, safety sensor problems, and full new door installation, along with custom made doors. Spring work is a core focus: the company keeps an ample stock of springs for an array of garage door types, generally advises replacing both springs together rather than one, matches the spring to the weight and size of the door, and validates the work with a balance test so the opener is not left carrying the load. Every spring repair also includes a complimentary safety inspection of the hardware and moving parts on the door. On openers, the team walks customers through belt, chain, screw, and jackshaft drives and explains where each one fits, recommending belt drive openers for attached garages and rooms near bedrooms because they run nearly silently, and jackshaft openers for high ceilings or garages where ceiling space needs to stay clear. For new doors, the company points to quieter operation with ultra quiet nylon hinges, energy savings from insulated overhead doors, updated safety and security features such as automatic reversal, and improved curb appeal. Steel doors arrive with a pre painted, baked on coating, while wood doors come unfinished and need to be primed and painted or stained on all six sides. Jamie & Sons Overhead Doors backs its work with warranty coverage and a satisfaction guarantee.

FAQs
Should I hire a professional to install a new garage door?
The company strongly advises against installing a garage door yourself. A garage door is the largest moving object in your home and the job involves many small parts and technical details, and connecting the springs in particular can be hazardous. Professional installers can finish in a few hours while following safety guidelines, where most homeowners take several days. Improper installation may also void some warranties, and a professional can haul away your old door if you are replacing one.
Do you replace one spring or both?
Both, as a general rule. Most garage doors have two springs installed at the same time, so if one breaks the other is likely near the end of its useful life. Replacing both avoids future issues, reduces risk, and protects the opener. The company compares it to changing both tires when one bursts. It keeps an ample stock of springs for a range of door types, and recommends having a technician take precise measurements before quoting.
Which type of garage door opener should I choose?
It depends on your garage. Belt driven openers are considered the best in the industry, as reliable as a chain drive and nearly silent, which suits attached garages or garages near bedrooms. Jackshaft openers mount on the wall beside the door and are recommended for high ceilings or when you want the ceiling kept clear. Chain drives cost a little less but are noisy, and the company usually advises against them. Screw drives are the slowest and loudest and are not advised in an area with fluctuating temperatures.
Does an uninsulated garage still need an insulated door?
For large garage door openings, insulated doors are recommended to prevent the transfer of heat or cold air. That matters most when the garage is attached to your home or used as a workshop. Insulated doors also reduce noise, look better on the inside, keep garage air from affecting your living space, and help stabilize temperatures in a room above the garage.
Should I choose a steel or a wood garage door?
Steel is usually the lower maintenance option. The company's steel doors come with a pre painted, baked on coating, and the recommendation is to clean the exterior once a year with a common household detergent and warm water. Wood doors are delivered unfinished and need to be primed and painted or stained on all six sides on arrival, with a yearly visual inspection of the finish to see whether another application is needed.
Can a one piece garage door be converted to a sectional door?
Yes. A professional dealer or installer can fit a sectional door by setting up track and springs. Depending on how your garage is built, additional adjustments may be needed, so the company recommends having a dealer evaluate the job before installation to identify any modifications required.
Can I repaint my garage door after it is installed?
Steel doors from Jamie & Sons Overhead Doors have a baked on coating that can be repainted with many commercially available exterior latex paints. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations and avoid oil based paints.
