No job is too big or too small, so if you are in need of a repair or replacement on any of the products we have discussed please call our office to schedule a service call or free estimate!"

What are your best tips for homeowners this season?

"Some of our best tips for homeowners going into the winter months would be: lubricate your doors! Use a silicone based lubricant and spray a little on your rollers, springs and chain (if you have a chain driven opener). Also, to avoid your door freezing to the ground we suggest spraying a little lubricant on the bottom rubber of the door. Clean off your photo eyes on the safety sensors to free them of dust and cob webs that may have accumulated over the summer months. Make sure they are aligned, meaning both are lit and not blinking. If you think you have an issue with the safety sensors, please call our office to speak with customer service for additional suggestions or to schedule maintenance. Change outside and top weather seal around outside perimeter of door if you see it is ripped/worn/warped as this can help keep the cold and snow out of the garage this winter. On the very snowy days, make sure to shovel all snow away from door (prior to opening if possible) to avoid extra moisture/ice from forming. Power outages...If you find yourself in a power outage situation and your vehicle is inside of the garage (assuming you do not have the battery back up opener feature), pull the red emergency release cord to lift your door manually. When power is restored, you must re-engage the opener to connect it to the door again. If you need assistance with this please call our office to speak to customer service or to schedule maintenance. If you have a vaulted garage (with no man door) with an electric opener that does not have battery back up capabilities on it, you should have an emergency key release installed on your door to be sure your vehicle (or snow blower) does not get stuck in the garage in case of a power outage."

What is your favorite part about the Buffalo Home Show?

"We always look forward to the Buffalo Home Show, not only because it kick starts our spring season but for many other reasons as well. We enjoy meeting new potential customers as well as seeing many familiar faces of our past customers. The Buffalo Home Show is nice for us because it gets us out of our regular routine in the office and out meeting new people and helping/informing others while we are at it. We always get very excited in the days prior to the home show starting and love the first time we walk in to see our booth set up and continually making improvements on the display. We do look forward to this years home show as we have in the past and can't wait to see what 2016 has in store for our company!"
