Installing the New Garage Doors Video

Bob talks with Robert Rainey of PJ Overhead Door as the garage door panels and tracks are installed on the Norwell home. The installation of the springs for the garage door can be dangerous, so while it may seem that installing the garage doors is a do-it-yourself job, this may be a job that is best left to a professional. This garage-door installation shows how complicated it is to put a garage door in place. When complete, the new garage doors are a big improvement over the old ones.
