Types of Overhead Garage Doors We Install

We provide a full range of overhead garage doors designed to match different needs, styles, and budgets. From durable options that handle daily wear to high-end custom builds, our team ensures precise installation backed by warranties and transparent pricing.

Sectional Garage Doors

A popular choice for homeowners, sectional doors are built from panels that move vertically and rest along the ceiling. They’re reliable, space-efficient, and available in multiple styles and finishes.

Roll-Up Garage Doors

Ideal for properties with limited ceiling space, roll-up doors coil into a compact roll above the opening. They’re strong, low-maintenance, and a great option for both residential and light commercial settings.

Glass / Full-View Garage Doors

Perfect for modern homes or showrooms, these doors feature glass panels framed with durable aluminum. They add natural light, enhance curb appeal, and create a sleek, contemporary look.

Insulated Garage Doors

Insulated doors improve energy efficiency, reduce noise, and keep interiors more comfortable year-round. This option is highly recommended for attached garages in Williamsburg and nearby areas.

Custom Garage Doors

For homeowners wanting something unique, we install custom doors made from wood, aluminum, or overlay designs. Options like low-headroom or high-lift configurations are also available to maximize vertical space.

High-Lift Garage Doors

High-lift tracks allow the door to travel further up the wall before curving, making them ideal for garages with tall ceilings or where extra headroom is needed, for example, to store lifts or larger vehicles.

Overhead Garage Door Installation Near Me

If you’re searching for “garage door services near me” in the Virginia Peninsula, you’ve found the right team. Prime Garage Doors and Openers proudly serves homeowners in Williamsburg, Newport News, Hampton, Yorktown, Suffolk, Gloucester, Surry, Isle of Wight, and Poquoson. We are your local experts for everything from standard installations to a complete garage door conversion.

We specialize in designing and installing the perfect high lift system, which requires careful measurement and the right high lift track components. For a high-lift conversion, you typically need at least 12-15 inches of clearance above the door opening, but we will confirm the exact ceiling dimension needed during our free consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, absolutely. We offer a wide range of insulated doors that improve your home's energy efficiency. Whether you choose a steel, aluminum alloy, or composite door for your garage door system, we can provide an insulated option. Ask for our current prices during your free consultation.

We stand by our work with comprehensive warranties. Our new overhead doors come with manufacturer warranties on parts, and we provide a labor warranty for our installation. This ensures your entire garage door system, including any high-lift door components, is protected.

In Williamsburg, consider material durability against humidity, insulation (R-value) for energy savings, and wind load reinforcement. Also, decide if a standard garage door meets your needs or if a high lift conversion would be beneficial for your space. We can explain all options and current prices.

For most standard replacements of a lift garage door, permits are not required in Williamsburg. However, for major structural changes or a complex garage door conversion, it's best to check with local authorities. We can provide guidance during our consultation.

We strongly recommend professional installation. Installing a garage door system involves high-tension springs and heavy parts, which is dangerous work. A professional ensures safety, proper alignment, and longevity for your high lift door. We send our best wishes for a safe project.

Most standard garage door installations are completed in 3 to 4 hours. A high lift garage door or a full high lift conversion might take a bit longer, usually around 5 to 6 hours, to ensure the garage door system is perfectly installed.

To maintain your new garage door system, lubricate moving parts annually, test the safety reverse feature monthly, and visually inspect the new cables and tracks for any signs of wear. This applies to both a regular garage door and a high lift door.

Due to the complexity and high tension of the springs, installing a garage door system is considered dangerous work. If you lack experience with this type of project, hiring a professional is the safest choice to ensure your high lift door is installed correctly.
