Common Garage Door Problems We Fix
Our repair technicians handle all types of garage door issues:
- Broken Springs: The most common repair - torsion and extension springs wear out and break, making the door impossible to lift.
- Frayed or Broken Cables: Steel cables support the door's weight and can fray, snap, or come off the drum.
- Damaged Rollers: Worn or broken rollers cause noisy, jerky operation and can damage tracks.
- Bent or Misaligned Tracks: Impact damage or wear can bend tracks, preventing smooth door movement.
- Damaged Panels: Dents, cracks, or rot in individual panels affect appearance and function.
- Broken Opener: Motor, circuit board, or mechanical failures prevent automatic operation.
- Sensor Problems: Malfunctioning safety sensors prevent door from closing properly.
- Weather Seal Issues: Worn seals allow drafts, water, and pests into your garage.
- Lock Mechanism Failures: Broken latches or locks compromise security.
- Off-Track Doors: Doors that jump off tracks require immediate professional attention.

- Extensive panel damage or rot
- Repair costs exceed 50% of replacement cost
- Door lacks modern safety features
- Obsolete parts no longer available
We'll always provide honest recommendations, never pushing unnecessary replacements. If repair makes sense, that's what we'll recommend.
