"When we began our garage project, we knew that our existing doors needed work. We just happened to see a Wallen truck in our neighborhood, and called the number on the side of the truck. Within minutes, Julie scheduled Anthony to circle back to meet with us. Anthony explained in detail the pros and cons of many different options, and ultimately we determined our best option was to replace instead of repairing the existing doors. We really underestimated the amount of time it takes to plan and design doors that would fit the architecture of our home, and Julie provided ALL details that helped us make the decision on doors that would not only be aesthetically pleasing, but also the most energy efficient doors that would fit into our budget. Julie took the time to do many renderings of what the doors would look like on our house, also providing a 'Wallen's Choice', based on our needs and design decisions at no cost to us. Julie also indicated that there was no pressure to go with any of these and would strive to work with us, if we determined that Wallen was our company of choice. It was obvious that Wallen would be our company of choice, as they are very competitive with pricing and value. Once we made our decision (we chose Wallen's choice!), Julie provided all of the details of the installation, our decisions, warranty information, leaving nothing out. While we decided the traditional 'half down, half due at project completion', Wallen also has payment options that were offered. It took approximately three weeks for our doors to be made and once they were ready and QA'ed by Wallen, there was about a week lead time for the installation to be completed. Julie and Kim did an excellent job of communicating any pre-requisites that we needed to complete before the installation was to be completed. Additionally, a pre-installation checklist was emailed for us to work off of, and the office team was always there to answer any of our questions. We were provided an email communication indicating the date/day and time window of when the installation team would be onsite. Wesley and the installation team arrived exactly when they said they would -- between 0800 and 1200. Once onsite, the team reviewed everything that was to be completed, and actually asked us if we had questions. I think this is one of the few times that I've ever had an installer take the time to do a thorough walk-thru! The install team was very courteous and professional, and went above and beyond our expectations. They completed the removal of the old doors, being cautious not to scratch or scrape any of our newly painted walls, and again, explained where they were in the install process when asked. All of the team members knew their jobs and definitely worked as a team. We had one piece of new trim that had been damaged, which was promptly replaced and installed with no issues. When complete, Wesley explained maintenance recommendations, and had us 'test' the opening/closing of the doors, reviewing the completed project with us. Overall, from planning, design, ordering and installation, the Wallen Team (Wes, Julie, Anthony, Kim to name a few), exceeded our expectations, and I would highly recommend this awesome company. The best experience we've had with a service company!"

"From the estimate to the actual work I truly felt like I was what mattered. My questions and concerns were valued and important. And the work was done to perfection. In my case it was replacing the openers and converting the springs to the safer and efficient torsion ones. These garage doors are whisper quiet now practically.

Class A builder, residential and commercial, modular homes,
Master electrician and Class A general contractor with government and commercial experience as well as residential.
"After two failed General Contractors I brought Rez Electric on-board to add a screened-in porch on the third level of my home. Rob and his Team immediately and showed me problems with the new build as well as the existing structure. Due to exceptionally poor workmanship on both the new and original structure, it took almost two years and a lot of money to complete the renovations. Rob and his Team were diligent, provided high-quality work and NEVER GAVE UP! At the end of the day, Rez Electric practically rebuilt our home including, but not necessarily limited to, framing, all new windows and doors (including sliders), all new siding (cement board), new front and rear porches and a new patio, new flat roof-top decks, new lighting, millwork, whole-home generator, dry-wall work and painting (interior & exterior) - plus an awesome screened in porch (the original project!). Rob also coordinate the addition of gutters, landscaping and fencing. He remained in constant contact, initiated and returned phone-calls, emails and texts. He always check to see if we were satisfied. Rob and his Team restored my faith in contractors."

Garage door springs last for an estimated number of cycles over a defined period. Extension springs last 8,000 to 15,000 cycles, or seven to 12 years, while torsion springs last 10,000 to 20,000 cycles, or eight to 15 years. Regular maintenance, balanced usage, and professional tuneups can extend their service life.
A skilled technician can replace two garage door springs on a standard door within 30 minutes to one hour. However, the repair time increases for conversion between spring types or when servicing a multi-door system. Every spring is installed with precision to preserve balance and safety, and a professional will test the door after a repair or replacement.
If one garage door spring breaks, you should replace both springs because balanced tension is essential for safe operation of the door. Replacing both springs ensures the door remains level and prevents additional stress on the remaining spring. Most doors are designed with paired springs, and using mismatched components compromises safety. A professional technician will advise replacing both springs to keep the door working properly and safely.
The three most common reasons that garage doors break include wear and tear, rust, and improper maintenance. Rusted spring parts can lead to the coils degrading faster than they should. In addition, not following a maintenance schedule or getting regular tuneups can lead to quicker wear and tear.
The best way to make your garage door springs last longer is by having them maintained by a garage door specialist. This will help catch issues early, and the specialist will also spray the springs with silicone-based lubricant to keep rust at bay. During the maintenance service, the tech will make sure the door is properly balanced to ensure the springs have the right amount of tension.
It is unsafe to manually open your garage door when a spring is broken. A damaged spring causes an unbalanced door that can move suddenly and dangerously. Do not attempt to operate the door yourself. A broken spring compromises the system’s balance and can lead to severe injury or further damage. Professional repair technicians are equipped to safely handle the door, replace the faulty spring, and secure the system to avoid hazards.
