Sheetrock & Garage Door

[MeBunkerYou]

Hiring a rock hanger to do the ceiling in my garage. When he came to take measurements he said he'd just drop all the door rail supports and opener down, hang the 5/8" and bolt everything back up. All garage door components were just professionally installed a couple months ago. Will I need to make any adjustments after everything being lowered 5/8"?
Thanks

most likely no. as long as he rehangs them where they were should be just fine

Thanks. Figured as much and I suppose I'll know when I open and close for the first time.

I would ensure the initial door operation is done by him so if it is not perfect or has issue you aren't stuck dealing with it by yourself afterwards.

You might want to pick up longer fasteners.

when I did my ceiling, I took several measurements of locations of screws etc, shortened everything by the thickness of the ceiling (5/8" T&G pine) so it hangs in the same place .

If the Rock Hanger operates the door both before and after he does his work, their should be no question as to the validity of his claims.

Drop a plumb bob from the end of each rail and make a mark on the floor so you can put 'em back in the place.

Take a bunch of pictures with a tape measurement in them. Will be real easy to place them back where there were.

Thanks for the replies. I will take some pics myself before and make sure he operates it first.
