Smoke, Springs & Show-Stopping Doors: August at Davis Garage Doors

August definitely didn’t take it easy on us.

August was a smoky one in Central Washington, but the Davis Garage Doors crew kept rolling! From high-lift installs and tricky spring repairs to shed doors and some seriously good-looking Garaga doors, Josh and Jenni stayed busy making sure no garage door problem was too big, too small, or too complicated. We’re heading into another month proud of another month of hard work, great customers, and plenty of doors going up and down exactly like they should.

September may be here, but August gave us plenty worth looking back on!

Where There’s Smoke, There Are Garage Doors

Wildfire smoke made its way into the valley this August, but it didn’t slow the Davis Garage Doors crew down.

Josh and Jenni masked up and kept working through the smoky conditions to finish up jobs for our customers. Not exactly ideal garage door weather, but around here, you work with what Central Washington gives you!

Taking Things a Little Higher in Ellensburg

One of the highlights of the month was this awesome high-lift garage door project right here in Ellensburg.

High-lift tracks allow the doors to travel farther up the wall before turning overhead, which makes better use of the space above the opening. Josh and Jenni did a fantastic job getting everything installed and tucked up where it needed to go.

Working in wildfire smoke certainly added another challenge to the job, but seeing the finished project made it worth it..

Jenni vs. The Garage Door

This service call gave Jenni a little bit of everything.

A TorqueMaster spring needed service, the opener chain had completely come off the motor and the gears inside needed some attention too. Instead of letting the garage door win, Jenni rebuilt the gears in the motor, got the chain back where it belonged and replaced the springs.

By the time she was done, the door was back up and running like it should.

Garage door: 0. Jenni: 1.

No Door Too Small

Not every job has to be a giant commercial door or complicated high-lift installation.

Josh and Jenni also got to help out their good friends, the Armstrongs, with a new garage door for their shed this month. It may be one of the smaller doors we worked on in August, but it still got the full Davis Garage Doors treatment.

Big door, little door, weird door… we’ve probably got you covered.

One From the DGD Archives

We also took a little trip down memory lane this month with an install from a couple summers ago that’s still hard to forget.

The summer heat was in full force, and the garage had a loft area that the door needed to high-lift over. It was one of those projects where you look at the space, scratch your head for a minute and then figure out how to make it happen.

A few years later, it’s still one for the books.

Okay… These Doors Deserve Their Own Section

We’ve installed a lot of beautiful garage doors, but these Garaga Vantage Plank doors are serious show-stoppers.

The Dark Acacia HD finish paired with tinted glass running down each section gives them a modern look while still bringing in the warmth of a wood-style finish.
