Dunlap Family Garage Doors
Dunlap Family Garage Doors is a licensed and insured doors and gates company working out of 950 Calcon Hook Rd in Sharon Hill, PA, and it describes itself as the source for all things garage door related for local homeowners. The team handles garage door spring repair, opener repair and installation, worn roller replacement, panel replacement, misaligned track repair, safety sensor diagnosis and full door installation, and it also repairs gates affected by fading, rust, rot, sagging, warping, pest damage and bent or damaged frames and hinges. On spring work the company generally recommends replacing both springs together, installs only springs matched to the door's weight so the opener is not forced to work harder than intended, and verifies the result with a balance test. Every spring repair also includes a complimentary safety inspection covering the hardware and moving parts on the door. For openers the team works across chain driven, screw driven, belt driven and wall mounted jackshaft models, and it points homeowners with attached garages toward steel reinforced belt drives, which run nearly noiseless and carry a lifetime warranty from LiftMaster. Dunlap Family Garage Doors also fits ultra-quiet nylon hinges to dampen door noise, supplies insulated doors to cut energy loss, and offers custom-crafted doors alongside standard repair and installation work, all backed by a quality guarantee on its services and products plus warranty coverage for malfunction or accidental damage to your overhead door.

FAQs
What garage door services do you offer?
Dunlap Family Garage Doors covers garage door spring repair, opener repair and installation, worn roller replacement, panel replacement, misaligned track repair, safety sensor diagnosis and full door installation. The company also repairs gates dealing with fading, rust, rot, sagging, warping, pest damage and bent or damaged frames and hinges, and it can produce custom-crafted doors.
Do I need to replace both garage door springs?
Most garage doors have two springs that were installed together, so when one breaks the other is usually near the end of its life too. Dunlap Family Garage Doors generally suggests replacing both springs to avoid future issues, unsafe door use and damage to the opener, in the same way you would change both car tires if one burst.
Is a safety inspection included with spring repair?
Yes. The company includes a complimentary safety inspection with every spring repair to confirm that all hardware and moving parts on the door are functioning correctly and adhere to safety regulations, since a faulty spring can point to a wider problem with the door.
Which type of garage door opener should I choose?
Chain driven openers are reliable and budget-friendly but noisy, screw driven openers are the slowest and noisiest and suit areas with steady year-round weather, and belt driven openers are as reliable as chain drives while running nearly noiseless. Dunlap Family Garage Doors recommends belt drives for attached garages or garages near bedrooms, and wall mounted jackshaft openers for high ceilings or when you want to save ceiling space.
Should a professional install my new garage door?
Dunlap Family Garage Doors advocates for hiring a professional, because a garage door is the largest moving part in your home and the installation involves many intricate components. The springs in particular can be dangerous to connect, improper installation can void some warranties, and a professional installer can meet safety requirements and remove your old door if you are upgrading.
Is an insulated door worth it for an uninsulated garage?
Insulated doors on large openings prevent the transfer of heat or cold air. They stabilize temperatures in a room above the garage, look better on the inside and are generally quieter than non-insulated doors, and they matter when your garage is attached to the house or used as a workshop.
How do steel and wood garage doors compare on upkeep?
Steel doors tend to need less maintenance. The company's steel doors have a pre-painted, baked-on coating and only need cleaning with a common household detergent and warm water at least once a year. Wood doors arrive unfinished and need priming and painting or staining on all six sides on delivery, with the finish checked once a year.
Can I repaint a newly installed garage door?
Yes. The steel doors come with a pre-painted baked-on coating that accepts a wide range of commercially available exterior latex paints. Oil-based paints are not recommended by Dunlap Family Garage Doors.
