Clip Summary

Bob talks with Robert Rainey of PJ Overhead Door as the garage door panels and tracks are installed on the Norwell home. While installing garage doors may seem like a do-it-yourself job, it may be best left to a professional as parts because the installation are complicated, even dangerous. The new garage doors are a big improvement over the old ones.

All right.

So Bob, now this is

one of the difficult parts of the job, right?

 Yes. This actually can be a little dangerous.

 Right. Because, I mean, we're talking tension and stuff. Now, the question on my mind is: Is this a do-it-yourselfer's job?

 Well, if a person is really handy they could do it but, they would be very frustrated by the time they were done.

Right.

 It's best left to a professional.

Yeah, ok. All right let's get the springs up.

 All right, Bob. Well, that gives us a pretty good idea of just how complicated it is to put one of these together. And of course, your guys have put in two more on the other side.

 Yes, we have.

And you've got one left here. Thanks a lot. Let's see how it closes.

Thank you, Bob.

 All right. What do you think Howard?

 Beautiful.

 Not bad.

What an improvement.

All right, you've got some framing to do, right?

 Yes, sir.

 All right, we'll get up there in a minute.

OK.
