Common Garage Door Repairs

  • Garage door springs do the heavy lifting every time you open your door. When they break (often with a loud bang), your door won't open or will open unevenly. Springs are under extreme tension and should only be replaced by a professional.

    What causes springs to break:

    • Normal wear and tear (springs typically last 7-10 years)

    • Lack of maintenance

    • Rust and corrosion

    • Temperature fluctuations

    We replace broken torsion springs and extension springs with quality parts designed for your door's weight and usage. Most spring replacements are completed the same day you call.

  • If your garage door came off its tracks, don't try to force it. This is dangerous and can cause additional damage. Off-track doors usually happen due to:

    • Impact damage (hitting the door with a vehicle)

    • Broken or worn rollers

    • Loose hardware

    • Bent tracks

    We safely realign off-track doors, inspect for underlying issues, repair or replace damaged components, and ensure smooth, safe operation.

  • Garage door cables work with springs to lift your door safely. When cables fray or break, your door becomes unsafe to operate. We also replace:

    • Worn rollers

    • Damaged hinges

    • Broken brackets

    • Bent tracks

    • Weather seals

    Regular hardware inspection and replacement prevents more serious problems and extends your door's lifespan.

  • Multiple issues can prevent your garage door from operating properly:

    • Broken springs

    • Safety sensor problems

    • Track obstructions

    • Opener malfunctions

    • Limit switch issues

    • Damaged panels binding in tracks

    Joel will diagnose the problem quickly and provide honest recommendations for repair. We explain what's wrong, what needs to be fixed, and give you a clear price before starting work.

  • Dented or damaged garage door panels affect both appearance and function. Depending on your door's age and style, we can often replace individual panels rather than the entire door. If matching panels aren't available or damage is extensive, we'll discuss full door replacement options.

  • Safety sensors prevent your garage door from closing on objects, pets, or people. If your door won't close or reverses immediately, the sensors may be:

    • Misaligned

    • Dirty or blocked

    • Damaged

    • Wiring issues

    We test, align, clean, and repair safety sensors to ensure proper operation. These sensors are a critical safety feature required by law.

  • Is your garage door loud, grinding, or squeaking? Common causes include:

    • Worn rollers

    • Loose hardware

    • Lack of lubrication

    • Worn hinges

    • Older AC Powered Garage Door Opener

    We diagnose the source of noise and make the necessary repairs to restore quiet operation.
