The Most Common Garage Door Repairs We Handle

Broken Springs

Torsion or extension, garage door springs take on most of the heavy lifting. But after enough wear and tear, they give out. If your door suddenly feels heavier, or won’t open at all, it might be time. We handle spring replacements carefully and safely, so your door gets back to working exactly how it should—no hassle, no risk.

Faulty Openers

The opener is the brain of your garage door system. And when something’s wrong—whether it’s the motor, sensors, remote, or even the wall switch—it throws the whole thing off. Our crew can quickly zero in on the issue and get it working again. We repair all kinds of opener systems, old and new.

Track Problems

Grinding sounds? Jerky movement? Door feels like it’s off-balance? These are all signs your garage door tracks might be misaligned or bent. And if left alone, they can make the whole system unreliable. We’ll realign or replace tracks so your door runs smooth, quiet, and straight again.

Cable Issues

The cables on your garage door work together with the springs, keeping everything balanced and moving in sync. When those cables start to fray or snap, your door may tilt or get stuck. We handle fast cable replacements to keep your system running safely.

Damaged Panels

Scratches, dents, and cracked garage panels can make your whole door look rough—and worse, mess with how it opens and closes. Whether it’s just one panel or a few, we’ll fix or swap them so your garage door stays both functional and good-looking.

How to Keep Your Garage Door in Great Shape

  • Keep it Lubricated: A little grease goes a long way. Apply garage door lubricant to hinges, rollers, and tracks every few months to reduce friction and noise.
     

  • Watch the Springs and Cables: If you notice rust, fraying, or anything that looks off—don’t ignore it. These parts are under a lot of tension and can snap when worn.
     

  • Test Door Balance: Disconnect the opener, lift the door halfway, and let go. If it doesn’t stay put, it may be time for an adjustment.
     

  • Check the Auto-Reverse: Put something (like a roll of paper towels) under the door. If it doesn’t stop and reverse when it hits the object, the safety sensors might need a reset.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1

How do I know if my garage door needs repair?

 If your door is slow, noisy, jerky, or just refuses to move, something’s likely off. Don’t wait for it to break completely—call us for an inspection before it gets worse.

2

Can I attempt to repair my garage door myself?

 You can handle simple maintenance like clearing the tracks or adding lubricant, but anything involving springs, cables, or the opener system should be left to a pro. These parts are under tension and can be dangerous without the right tools.
