Wayne, I'm in the garage door buisness and I wanted to let you know you are going to have to take in account that when you add additional weight to your garage door the springing also needs to be changed. The Clopay model 4300 is a great door!! When you add you add additional struts you are adding about 5-10 lbs of extra weight, per strut, depending on the gauge of steel the strut is made with. If you decide to go ahead and install it with the addtional struts you are going to have a hard time balancing the door and you are shorting your spring life. Springs are usually a 10,000 cycle which means 1 cycle is a up and a down. If you have any questions just let me know.

Travis

Yes you do! That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

LOL


Seriously -- my buddy Mark is a GREAT contractor.... pro active - knows his details - gets great subs - and rides 'em like a pony... but great contractors are few and far between. And finding the great one is the hard part. Once you do - you recommend them - and you use them for years!

well i hope everything works out well and always make sure you are satisfied with the work done before paying.

Im a roofing contractor here in california so if you need any roof help just PM me. Im also a member of a the www.roofing.com forum which has several good roofers on there from all over. if i cant help you, i can definitely get you help on there. when i comes to roofing your place all i can say is you get what you pay for so dont slack on the shopping for a good roofer. I can probably help find you one as well. Its one of the most important parts of your house.

so if you have any and i mean ANY questions regarding roofing just let me know and i can help you out. One other thing is roofing is very regional so some regions use cheap vents and so so materials. Out here in california we try very hard to use the newest or best roofing materials and accessories possible that you might not see out there but can get if you know about it. good luck and hope i can help!


Marc

Thanks guys it's been such a strugle to get some one. I'm giving this last guy some slack because of the hurricane threat we had . Maybe he was buttoning something up to prep for the storm. We'll see.
OOCustoms Thanks for the offer I may take you up on it.
Wayne
