Commonly Asked Questions About Garage Doors and Motors

1. Can my garage door be painted?

Yes, with 100% acrylic latex paint.

2. Can I replace a section in my garage door or do I have to replace the whole door?

Yes and no. It depends on the damage. Call Overhead Door of Waterbury™ 860-274-3332. Our sales professional will come out to give you an estimate on your situation.

3. What is R-value? 

R-value is a standardized measurement of thermal efficiency.

4. How does it benefit me?

The higher the R-value, the greater the garage door’s insulating properties.

5. What is the difference between Screw, Belt, & Chain Drive garage door openers?

• The Screw Drive is powerful, fast, and quiet. It provides the maximum power for heavy doors.
• Belt Drive has a quiet, smooth performance ideal for garages above living areas.
• Chain Drive is rugged, reliable, and suitable for most garage doors.

6. How can I get a new remote control for my opener?

First, you need to determine the opener name and model number. If your opener was manufactured before 1980, then you have an analog-type opener for which we no longer carry remotes. If that is the case, you need to purchase a new motor.
