Our team at The Garage Outfitters provides skilled garage door installations in Lansing, MI and the surrounding areas. We take pride in offering a clear, efficient garage door installation process designed for lasting results:

Initial Inquiry and Assessment

The process starts when you reach out to us—whether by phone, text, or via our website—to share your needs and style preferences. We arrange a free on-site assessment at your convenience. Our owner or lead installer visits to inspect your garage structure, measure the opening, evaluate material requirements, and talk through design options such as door style, finish, insulation, and hardware choices.

Design and Product Selection

Once measurements are complete and structural factors determined—such as framing, insulation, and weather seal— we help you select materials that suit both your budget and aesthetic vision. Choices include insulated steel, wood carriage house styles, aluminum & glass panels, or custom doors. We also review window styles, hardware finishes, insulation levels, and energy-efficient features. Every product is sourced from Michigan manufacturers for quality and local support.

Quote and Scheduling Approval

After design concludes, we prepare a detailed, transparent quote—usually within one week—that outlines all components, labor, installation timeline, and warranty information. You review the quote with the owner and decide on any changes or upgrades. Once approved, we confirm the installation date that works with your schedule. Our goal is to minimize disruption, so we offer flexible scheduling, often completing the entire job in just one day.

Site Preparation

On installation day, our team arrives fully equipped. We prepare the garage by removing the old door (if applicable), clearing the workspace, and protecting floors and nearby surfaces. We verify the opening is level and structurally sound, install necessary reinforcements if required, and ensure weather sealing and framing are ready. These steps are critical to ensure alignment and proper fit of the new door.

Installation and Calibration

We install the new garage door system—mounting tracks, tension springs, rollers, and the door panels—following all safety standards and manufacturer guidelines. We fit and align hardware, install the opener (if part of the order), test the balance and operation, and adjust seals for weather and energy efficiency. Safety devices like photo-eyes and auto-reverse mechanisms are calibrated. Our installers ensure smooth, quiet operation and proper sealing against drafts, water, and heat loss.

Quality Check and Customer Walk-Through

After installation, we conduct a detailed inspection: checking for levelness, smooth track operation, seal integrity, and proper opener function. We test the door under load and review safety features. Then we walk you through the finished installation, show you how to operate and care for your door, and answer any questions. We also document warranties, maintenance tips, and offer support contact information, so you feel confident with your new door.

Finalization and Clean-Up

Our team cleans up thoroughly—removing debris, old door parts, packaging, and ensuring your garage is ready for use. We make sure finishes are clean, hardware is polished, and the overall look aligns with your expectations. We ask for your approval to confirm everything is complete. You sign off when satisfied, and begin using your new garage door with full confidence in its performance and support under our lifetime warranty.
