North Bay Carriage House Garage Door Installation

Custom wooden Carriage House garage doors can add value and a beautiful aesthetic to your home.  The Serratina doors, shown below, are manufactured by Ranch House Doors.  Hanson Overhead created a custom template so the arch of the new doors would follow the curve of the garage structure.

Each door measured 9'x8'.  Single vehicle doors, like this installation, or 2-car doors can be installed.  Our customer wanted to use a specific stain so they chose to complete the finish themselves on the 5-layer doors.  Hanson Overhead can finish the doors to your specification whether you desire a stain or paint finish on your custom carriage house doors.

Various window options, molding, tongue and groove profiles and edge treatments are available.  Serratina-Spanish design options are featured below.

The full custom carriage house garage door collections include: Spanish, Cape Cod, Craftsman, Contemporary and Vintage.  Upgrading your home's visual appeal can be as easy as installing a new garage door.  Give us a call at 707-526-7800 to schedule an appointment.

El Nino Garage Door Weather Sealing Special

We've all heard that the Pacific is experiencing one of the strongest El Nino events in recent history.  But what are those crazy scientist talking about anyway?

El Nino means that the Pacific Ocean sea surface temperatures are increased above normal, which was caused by a very active Solar Cycle during 2014-2015.  This produces increased evaporation off the ocean's surface into the atmosphere.  NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) released their January outlook, which expects a strong El Nino to continue through late spring into early summer.

"How does this impact Northern California and what does this have to do with garage doors?" you ask.

That is a wonderful question!  A strong El Nino means increased rain in Sonoma, Marin and Napa counties.  Increased rain translates into the increased potential of water seeping into your garage through an improperly weather sealed garage door.  Our Hanson technicians can evaluate your garage door for the best weather sealing options.

Our garage weather sealing products include: Rubber Bottom Seals, Rubber Thresholds and a Vinyl Climate Seal around the opening.  The Climate Seals can be ordered in a variety of colors or simple painted to match your home color.  An added bonus is these products are also great at safeguarding your home against rodents!

 

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!  Give us a call today to schedule your Garage Door Weather Sealing Project: 707-526-7800.  Present the coupon for 10% off your weather sealing project totaling up to $500.

So when was the last time you had your garage door opener serviced or replaced?

June is National Garage Door Safety Month

Can you believe how quickly we are moving through Spring into Summer? Sonoma County has jumped from barely winter to instant summer and back to winter.  You just have to love Northern California.   

June is National Garage Door Safety month!  This means the Sonoma County Hanson Overhead Team is excited to share some fun facts about your garage door.  Here are some things you may not have considered regarding your garage door and garage door opener:

1. Did you know your garage door is the largest moving object in your home?  There is no other larger door or object that moves within your home.  The average weight of a garage door ranges from 150-350 pounds, depending on the door structure.


2. Do you know how many times you open your garage door each year?  The average garage door is opened around 1,500 times per year, but increases dramatically with multi-vehicle homes.  Only bathroom and refrigerator doors are used more frequently.


3. What is the average lifespan of a garage door and garage door opener?  With regular maintenance a garage door, not the parts and accessories, should last up to 30-years.  Springs, rollers and tracks will need to be replaced more frequently.  A garage door opener has a 12-year average lifespan.  The higher the quality of the product the longer the lifespan.  This is definitely a case of, you get what you pay for.


4. How often should my garage door be serviced?  Your garage door should be serviced every year.  Our garage door technicians will perform a detailed inspection and recommend part replacement or repair.  During our Signature 44-point Garage Door Tune-Up our technician will re-align, lubricate, calibrate and tighten your garage door and opener to ensure they are in proper working order.

We, at Hanson Overhead Garage Door Service, hope you have a safe start to your summer.  Give us a call and schedule your garage door service so you can have a worry-free summer!
