🚨 🔧 Garage Ceiling Repair & New Garage Door Opener Installation 🔧 🚨
I was contacted through my website by a customer needing help after part of his garage ceiling had failed and collapsed due to the weight of an old garage door opener.
When I went out to do the evaluation, I quickly found the problem. The previous opener had been mounted directly to the drywall instead of being properly supported by framing. Over time, the constant weight and vibration slowly pulled the drywall away from the rafters until it finally failed.
To make matters worse, the garage ceiling had originally been installed around 30 years ago using nails instead of screws, which made the situation even worse. Honestly, even with screws, mounting a garage door opener directly to drywall is never a good idea.
After inspecting everything, I put together a quote for the customer and did my best to give him a fair deal because he is an 86-year-old senior in our community.
Once the quote was approved, I started by cleaning up the fallen drywall and hauling all of the debris to the dump. The following day, I returned and installed a large amount of drywall screws throughout the garage ceiling to help secure everything and prevent additional drywall damage from happening in the future.
Later on, the customer reached back out to see if I could also install a brand new garage door opener for him, which I was more than happy to help with. This time, the opener was properly supported with solid framing so it’s safe, secure, and built the right way.
I truly appreciate the trust my customers place in me. Helping members of our local community — especially seniors — is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
