Learn moreThe opener
A Sneads garage door that does not answer the button
An opener that makes noise without moving the door, or does nothing when you press the button or the remote, is handled as opener repair or with a new opener.
Hums or clicks, door stays put
The motor is getting power but the door is not moving with it.
No response at all
Tell us whether the wall button and the remote both fail, or only one of them.
The opener is past fixing
A new opener is installed on the existing door.
A new door as well
If the door itself is past repair, a new door is measured to the opening and can take a new opener at the same time.
The door itself
Door problems a Sneads owner can see or hear
Each of these is a garage door repair.
It reverses before it closes
The safety sensors near the floor are out of line or have failed. They are realigned or replaced.
Light or leaves come in under the door
The bottom seal is worn or missing, and it is replaced.
It scrapes or rattles
Rollers and hinges wear out and are replaced.
It is very heavy to lift by hand
A broken spring leaves the door heavy. The spring is replaced.
It hangs crooked
One side sitting lower than the other points to a cable or spring on that side. Say which side is low.
A dented section
One damaged panel is repaired or replaced on its own.
A cable is frayed
Lift cables are replaced.
Closets and pantry
Shelving to fit how you will use the rooms
A closet the last owner used for coats may become a linen closet or a pantry for you. We supply the wire shelving and install it, and one closet or every room in the house can be on one quote.
A closet with a new job
Linen closets and closets whose use has changed get shelves spaced for what will sit on them. Adjustable shelf-and-rail lets you move shelves again later.
Shelving that sags or pulls away
Old shelving that has bowed or come loose is taken out and replaced with new.
Garage walls
Garage shelving is placed clear of the door track and the opener, so boxes from the move have a home that does not block the door.
Pantry
Levels spaced for cans, boxes and taller things, rather than one height for everything.
Utility and storage rooms
Wall shelving gets bins and supplies off the floor.
Outside
Gutters on a house that is new to you
You may not know when the gutters on your new house were last cleaned. Cleaning is a good place to start, and guards can follow.
Cleaning
The gutters are cleaned by hand.
Guards on the gutters you have
Guards fit over existing gutters. The gutters are cleaned first and any loose or leaking part is repaired before the guards go on.
What guards do not change
Guards cut down what gets into the trough, but they are not a reason to stop checking the gutters.
New gutters
When the Sneads gutters are past cleaning
Gutters that leak at seam after seam or have rusted through are replaced rather than cleaned.
Seamless runs
New gutters are formed on site to the length of each roof edge, with joints only at the corners and outlets.
Size and profile
The standard is the 6-inch gutter. Half-round comes in aluminum or copper.
Color
Colors are chosen to match the trim of the house.
The old run
The old gutters are taken down and hauled away.
Downspouts
New downspouts are placed so the water leaves the roof away from doors and walkways.
Newly built
Moving into a Sneads house that is still being built
A newly built home is required to meet an air leakage limit under the Florida energy code, and on test day the house is set up in a fixed way.
Openings
Exterior windows and doors closed but not sealed, and fireplace and stove doors shut.
Dampers and equipment
Exhaust, intake and flue dampers closed, and the heating and cooling turned off.
Inside the house
Interior doors open where they are installed, and supply and return registers fully open.
Several houses
A builder with more than one house can book them together. Each one is tested on its own and gets its own result.
When to book
Once the last pipe, wire, vent and duct through the shell is in. Paint, floors, trim and cabinets do not change the reading, so they can come later.
Over the limit
The leaks are corrected and the house is tested again.
The attic
A vented attic sits outside the test. An attic sealed and insulated at the roof deck is opened to the house and measured with it.
Which move-in job to book first
Shelving is simplest to put in while a closet or pantry is still empty, so booking it before the boxes are unpacked saves moving them twice. Gutter work happens outside and does not depend on the rooms, so it can be booked at any point. A downspout that empties where you do not want the water can go on the same request as the gutter cleaning or guards.
Putting a move-in list on one request
Write the list the way it comes to you: the opener, the hall closet, the gutters over the back porch. Send it with the street address and a number where you can be reached during the day.
Moving boxes can stay where they are, but clear the wall where shelving is going and leave room around the garage door so the track and the opener can be reached.
