General

What areas of Oahu do you serve?
All of Oahu.

The City and County of Honolulu covers the whole island and we serve every zip code.
What are your business hours?
Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm. Emergency dispatch is available outside those hours.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, licensed and insured for both residential and commercial work. Certificate of insurance available on request.
What brands do you work on?
All major brands. Doors: Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, CHI, and others. Openers: LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, and others. The mechanical principles are the same across manufacturers.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. In-home estimates across Oahu are free.

Pricing & Process

How do you quote a job?
Flat-rate price, in writing, before any work starts. No hourly billing and no add-on charges after the fact.
Do you charge a service call fee?
Estimate visits are free. If you proceed with repair the same visit, there is no service call fee.
What payment methods do you accept?
Cash, credit card, and check. Commercial accounts and property managers, ask about invoicing options when you call.
Do you offer financing on new doors?
Financing options vary by job size and supplier. Ask during your in-home quote and we'll outline what's available for your project.
What warranties do you offer?
Manufacturer warranty on parts (varies by part and brand, typically 1 to 25 years on door panels and openers) and a 1-year labor warranty on installation work.

Repairs

How long does a typical repair take?
Most repairs take 30 to 60 minutes. Spring replacement, panel swaps, and track realignment may run a little longer.
Can you fix my door the same day I call?
In most cases, yes. We hold open spots in the daily schedule for urgent calls. Outlying areas like Waianae and the North Shore may need slightly longer routing.
What replacement parts do you carry on the truck?
Common springs, cables, rollers, weather seals, and the most common major-brand opener components. Most repairs are done in one visit.
My door is 20+ years old, is it worth repairing?
Depends on the failure mode. If a single component is worn, repair usually wins. If the door has had repeated failures or panels are corroded, replacement may be the smarter spend. We give you both options with honest pricing on each.
Can I do simple repairs myself?
Lubricating rollers, tightening loose bolts, and replacing remote batteries are fine. Anything involving springs, cables, or the opener's electrical system carries real injury risk and should be left to a technician.

Installations

How long does a new door installation take?
Most residential installs take 4 to 6 hours. Old-door removal adds about an hour. Custom or carriage-house doors may run longer.
Should I get an insulated door?
Insulated is worth it for attached garages, west-facing or south-facing doors, or homes with living space above the garage. Non-insulated is fine for detached garages or strict-budget projects.
Can you match my home's style?
Yes. We bring sample finishes, glass options, and panel styles to your home and quote in writing.
Do you haul away the old door?
Yes, removal and disposal of the old door and hardware is included.

Emergencies & Commercial

What counts as a garage door emergency?
Anything that makes the door unsafe, unsecured, or unusable. Common examples: door stuck open at night, car trapped inside, snapped cable with the door hanging, or storm damage compromising the frame.
Do you charge extra for after-hours service?
Yes, after-hours and weekend dispatch carries a callout premium. We quote the premium before we dispatch so there are no surprises.
Do you service commercial garage doors?
Yes. Sectional, roll-up, and high-speed commercial doors across Oahu. Storefronts, warehouses, parking facilities, condo parkades, and cold storage all covered.
Do you offer preventive maintenance contracts?
Yes, especially for commercial accounts. Quarterly, semi-annual, and annual contracts available based on cycle count and door type.
