A new automatic garage door is the single most transformative upgrade you can make to the front of your home. No other improvement changes the appearance, the function, the security, the energy efficiency, and the daily experience of your home as completely as a new garage door system. It is the largest element on the facade — the first thing anyone sees from the street. It is the largest moving object in the home — operating multiple times every day. It is a primary barrier against weather, intrusion, and pests. And when it is a complete, matched, professionally installed system — door, springs, tracks, opener, sensors, controls, and weathersealing all selected to work together — it performs all of these roles seamlessly for decades.
Whether you are building a new home, replacing an aging system that has reached end-of-life, upgrading after storm damage, or simply ready for a door that looks better, insulates better, operates quieter, and connects to your phone — a new automatic garage door installation is the answer.
Kustom installs complete automatic garage door systems throughout Lake Panasoffkee. We guide you through door selection — material, style, insulation, size, and wind rating. We match the right opener to the door. We install the complete system with professional precision — tracks aligned, springs balanced, opener calibrated, sensors tested, controls programmed, and every safety feature verified. One team, one installation, one warranty.
A new door changes everything. Call (888) 670-9331.
Panels are rusted, rotting, or warped. The door is loud despite roller replacement. Springs break repeatedly. The opener struggles even after repair. Hardware is corroded throughout. When a door requires constant attention and the repairs are no longer extending its useful life — the door has told you it is done.
A hurricane, tropical storm, or severe weather event that has damaged panels, bent tracks, compromised structural integrity, or destroyed the opener may leave the system beyond cost-effective repair. A new installation provides a complete fresh start with current wind-rated components.
New construction and garage additions require a complete garage door system from scratch — door, tracks, springs, opener, sensors, controls, and all hardware. Kustom provides turnkey installation for new builds.
Your current door functions but does not perform the way you want. It is uninsulated in a climate that punishes uninsulated garages. It is dated in a neighborhood that has upgraded. It lacks smart features, battery backup, or the quiet operation you want. A new door delivers the performance your current door cannot.
When you calculate the cumulative cost of spring replacements, roller replacements, panel repairs, opener repairs, and service calls over the past few years, the total may approach or exceed the cost of a new system — and you still have an old door with no warranty.
Real estate data consistently shows that a new garage door delivers one of the highest returns on investment of any home improvement — often recovering 90 percent or more of its cost in increased home value. A new door is among the most strategic pre-sale improvements available.
The door itself — multiple panels connected by hinges, fitted with rollers, sealed at the bottom, sides, and between sections. The door is the barrier, the insulator, and the visual element.
New tracks — vertical sections flanking the opening, curved sections at the transition, and horizontal sections along the ceiling — aligned precisely and securely bracketed to the structure.
New springs sized and rated for the specific door's weight, providing the counterbalance that allows the opener to move the door with minimal force.
The motor unit, drive mechanism, rail assembly, and all electronic controls — selected to match the door's weight and the homeowner's feature priorities.
Photo-eye sensors, force-based auto-reverse, and manual emergency release — the federally required safety features that protect people, pets, and property.
The full control suite — handheld remotes, a wall-mounted button, an exterior keypad, and smart platform connectivity for app-based control and monitoring.
The supporting infrastructure — cables connecting springs to the door, drums that wind cables, bearings that support the torsion shaft, brackets that anchor the system, and struts that reinforce the door.
A complete system — door, springs, tracks, and opener all selected together and installed together — operates as an integrated unit where every component is matched to every other component's specifications. A pieced-together system assembled from mismatched components over years of individual repairs compromises performance at every interface.
Door, opener, tracks, springs, sensors, controls — all installed together.
Call (888) 670-9331Steel doors dominate the residential market for good reason — they are durable, low-maintenance, available in every style, and compatible with every insulation option. Steel resists impact, maintains its shape, and accepts paint or factory-applied finishes that last for years. The primary maintenance consideration in Lake Panasoffkee is rust prevention at edges, scratches, and hardware points.
Wood doors offer warmth and character that no other material replicates. Cedar, redwood, mahogany, and hemlock provide distinctive grain and natural beauty. The trade-off is maintenance — wood requires regular sealing, staining, or painting to resist Lake Panasoffkee's moisture, and it is more susceptible to rot, warping, and insect damage than steel or aluminum.
Aluminum frames with glass panels create a modern, contemporary aesthetic that suits current architectural trends. Full-view glass doors bring light into the garage and make a dramatic design statement. Aluminum is lightweight, rust-resistant, and recyclable. Glass panels can be clear, frosted, tinted, or obscure depending on privacy preferences.
Fiberglass panels resist rust, rot, and salt corrosion — valuable properties in Lake Panasoffkee's coastal and humid environment. Fiberglass is lighter than steel, which reduces stress on springs and opener. The trade-off is vulnerability to impact — fiberglass can crack more easily than steel.
Vinyl doors resist moisture, rust, rot, and dents. They do not require painting and are virtually maintenance-free. The color is integral to the material, so scratches do not reveal a different color underneath. Vinyl offers fewer style options than steel but delivers exceptional durability in humid climates.
For most Lake Panasoffkee homes, steel with polyurethane insulation provides the best combination of durability, insulation, appearance, and value. For coastal properties where corrosion is the primary concern, fiberglass or vinyl may be preferred. For homes where design impact is the priority, aluminum and glass or wood deliver the most distinctive appearance. Kustom presents material options in the context of your home, your location, and your priorities.
The most popular residential style — rectangular raised panels arranged in rows creating a classic, clean appearance that complements most home architectures. Available in short, long, and mixed panel configurations.
Designed to evoke the appearance of historic swing-out carriage doors while operating as a modern overhead sectional door. Decorative hardware, crossbuck patterns, and arched windows create traditional character. One of the most popular upgrade styles in current residential trends.
Flat, smooth panels with clean lines and minimal ornamentation. Contemporary doors suit modern and mid-century architecture and create a sleek, understated facade.
Aluminum frames with glass panels from top to bottom. Maximizes natural light in the garage and creates a dramatic visual effect. Popular in modern homes, converted-use spaces, and homes where the garage serves dual purposes.
For homeowners with specific vision — custom panel configurations, unique materials, distinctive hardware, integrated windows, or designs that match specific architectural elements. Kustom sources custom doors through specialty manufacturers.
The garage door should complement the home's architectural style — not compete with it. A traditional raised panel suits colonial and traditional homes. Carriage house suits craftsman, farmhouse, and transitional styles. Flush and full-view suit modern and contemporary. Kustom helps you select a style that enhances your home's design language.
Single-layer steel or aluminum doors without insulation are appropriate for detached garages used solely for vehicle storage where temperature control is not a priority. They are the most affordable option.
Polystyrene insulation — rigid foam panels inserted between the door's interior and exterior skins — provides moderate insulating value (typically R-6 to R-9). A meaningful upgrade over non-insulated doors at a moderate price premium.
Polyurethane insulation — foamed in place between the door skins — provides the highest insulating value (typically R-12 to R-18), bonds the skins together for added structural rigidity, and provides superior noise reduction. Polyurethane insulation is Kustom's recommendation for most Lake Panasoffkee installations.
Lake Panasoffkee's heat and humidity create significant thermal load against the garage door — the largest uninsulated surface in most homes. An insulated door reduces heat transfer into the garage, which reduces cooling load on the HVAC system — particularly in garages that connect to conditioned living space, contain HVAC equipment, or serve as workshops or activity areas.
Insulated doors are significantly quieter during operation than non-insulated single-layer doors. The insulation dampens vibration and panel resonance, producing a quieter cycle that is noticeable from inside the home.
Polyurethane-insulated doors with bonded skins are structurally stronger and more rigid than non-insulated or polystyrene-insulated doors. The foam core adds rigidity that resists denting, wind pressure, and panel flex. In hurricane zones, this added strength contributes to wind resistance.
Standard single-car doors are 8 feet, 9 feet, or 10 feet wide and 7 feet tall. The correct size depends on the opening width and the vehicles being accommodated.
Standard two-car doors are 16 feet or 18 feet wide and 7 feet tall. The wider the door, the heavier the system and the more robust the springs, tracks, and opener must be.
Homes with non-standard openings — wider, narrower, or differently proportioned — require custom-sized doors. Kustom measures precisely and orders doors manufactured to the exact dimensions of your opening.
Standard height is 7 feet. Some homes — particularly newer construction with taller ceilings — have 8-foot or taller openings that require correspondingly taller doors.
Accurate measurement is essential — width, height, headroom, sideroom, and depth. Kustom measures during the on-site consultation to ensure the door ordered fits the opening precisely.
Lake Panasoffkee's building code requires garage doors in hurricane-prone zones to meet specific wind load ratings. The required rating depends on the home's location, exposure category, and proximity to the coast. Kustom knows the code requirements for every area within Lake Panasoffkee.
Wind-rated doors use heavier gauge steel, additional internal reinforcement struts, and reinforced track and bracket systems to resist the wind pressures specified by code. The reinforcement is engineered for the specific wind load rating required.
In some zones, building code requires the door to resist impact from windborne debris in addition to wind pressure. Impact-resistant doors use heavier construction and may incorporate impact-rated glazing for windows.
Garage door installation in hurricane zones typically requires a building permit and may require inspection. Kustom handles permitting requirements and ensures the installation meets all applicable code provisions.
A code-compliant wind-rated garage door may qualify your home for insurance premium reductions — discounts on the wind portion of your policy that accumulate year after year. Contact your insurance provider for specific discount information.
Chain drive for durability and value. Belt drive for quiet operation in attached garages. Wall-mount for garages with limited headroom or ceiling space requirements. The right choice depends on your garage configuration and noise sensitivity.
The opener's motor capacity must match the door's weight. Heavier insulated two-car doors require more horsepower than light single-car doors. Kustom specifies the correct capacity for your specific door.
Current-generation openers offer smartphone control, activity alerts, guest access, and battery backup. Battery backup is particularly valuable in Lake Panasoffkee for storm-season power outage operation. Kustom recommends smart-enabled openers with battery backup for all Lake Panasoffkee installations.

When building code requires a permit for the installation — typically in hurricane zones or for new construction — Kustom handles the permit application and coordinates inspection scheduling.
If replacing an existing door, we remove the old system completely — door panels, tracks, springs, opener, hardware, and all mounting components. The opening is left clean and ready for the new installation.
New tracks are mounted to the wall and ceiling with proper brackets, aligned to precise plumb and level, and spaced correctly for the new door's dimensions and roller configuration.
Door panels are assembled into the track system one section at a time — bottom panel first, each subsequent panel connected by hinges, rollers installed, and the assembly built upward until the complete door is in the tracks.
New torsion or extension springs are installed and tensioned to precisely counterbalance the door's weight. Spring specification — wire diameter, inside diameter, length, and wind direction — is matched to the specific door.
Cables are routed through drums, connected to the bottom brackets, and tensioned. All hardware is installed and secured — brackets, bearings, struts, and reinforcement components.
The opener is mounted — rail assembled, motor secured, drive mechanism installed. The door arm connects the opener's trolley to the door's top bracket. The opener is connected to electrical power.
Photo-eye sensors are mounted, wired to the opener, aligned, and tested. Sensor function is non-negotiable — the installation is not complete until sensors are verified.
All controls are programmed — remotes paired, wall button installed and wired, keypad mounted and coded, and smart features configured with Wi-Fi and app setup.
Force settings are calibrated. Travel limits are set. Balance is verified with the door at the halfway point. Auto-reverse is tested with an obstruction. Sensor function is verified by breaking the beam. The door is cycled from every control multiple times. Every function must work correctly and every safety feature must respond as designed.
