The Overhead Door Company of Flathead Valley™

In 1921, Overhead Door Corporation, under the leadership of C.G Johnson, invented the upward-acting garage door and revolutionized the way the world entered their homes. For 100 years, Overhead Door™ garage doors have been securing and providing families access to their homes. Overhead Door™ garage doors are assembled in the United States and sold at over 450 authorized Ribbon Distributors throughout North America. The Overhead Door™ brand and Overhead Door™ distributors are synonymous with quality and dependability. To ensure you are getting the genuine, the original, make sure to always look for the Red Ribbon.

There are a few factors to consider, especially here in Montana. The location of your home or business, specific micro-climate conditions and building codes all need to be considered. Luckily for you, Overhead Door Company of Flathead Valley^TM is a great resource in discovering all the great options you have.

We’ll discuss what your aesthetics are, the codes we need to build by and other conditions, including wind loads. Wind loaded garage doors help protect your home or business in high wind areas.

Since we live in a colder climate, an insulated garage door might be a great choice for your project, too. Let’s chat and find out more.

There are a few things you need to consider besides the basic things like wind loads, location and codes. The first of these is materials.

We build garage doors with a few different materials, each suited for specific needs.

• Wood: a great general-purpose material that can be especially beautiful when finished correctly, but it is prone to insect damage and so needs to be maintained more closely.
• Steel or Aluminum: Metal doors are the most common type of garage door. They are durable, can be insulated and are the least expensive (and most-expensive) options available. More colors and design choice, too.
• Fiberglass: An alternative to steel doors, these are lighter and must be painted. There are lots of options available, but they can be damaged somewhat easier than steel doors.
• Glass: Want an ultra-modern look? Glass is the way to go. We have a lot of options and these doors are surprisingly durable and resilient, but you are limited in color options.

In order to pick the perfect fit for your home, Overhead Door^TM has developed the DoorView^® garage door designer. This interactive visualizer tool helps you design your dream door and allows you to see how it will look on your home with just the push of a button. You can also try it on your Apple iPad and Android devices.

Overhead Door® garage door openers and garage doors are built with resilience, durability and longevity in-mind. However, all things wear down in time. By performing a few routine tasks, you can help ensure your garage door system stays safe and works well, long into the future.

Make sure to occasionally check your photo-eyes’ alignment (photo-eyes are the laser sensors at the bottom of the door to sense if there is an object in the doorway so it doesn’t close on you) to ensure they are correctly detecting obstructions to keep your garage door safe and operating properly.

Other things are greasing the wheels on the track and inspecting the belt or chain on the opener occasionally. Overhead Garage Door Company of Flathead Valley^TM has several maintenance options to choose from, too, so you don’t even have to concern yourself with the maintenance of your new garage door.
