One warranty

The structural work most installers subcontract out

Most garage-door companies can only work with the opening that's already there. We resize rough openings, raise headers for taller doors, and fabricate custom steel jambs for heritage and non-standard homes — all in-house.

Updated July 2026

Good questions

Framing & metal fab — FAQ

Can you make my opening taller for a tall vehicle?

Yes — we raise the header and reframe the opening to the height you need, then install a door to match.

Do you handle permits for structural work?

Where the work affects structure, a permit is usually required and we handle it on your behalf in most municipalities.

My opening is out of square — can you fix it?

That's our specialty. We reframe or fabricate a steel jamb so the new door seals and operates correctly.
