What we do

Every part of the door, from the spring to the opener.

A garage door is the heaviest moving thing in most houses, and the springs carry almost all of that weight, not the opener. Most garage door calls are a spring, a cable or a door that was never balanced. We fix the cause, then set the opener to the door.

Broken spring replacement

Torsion springs above the door and extension springs along the tracks, replaced in pairs where the door has two and wound to the weight of your door, not a guess.

Cables, rollers and hinges

Frayed or snapped lift cables, worn or noisy rollers, cracked hinges and loose end bearings replaced, so the door rides the track instead of dragging on it.

Tracks and off-track doors

A door that came off its track or runs crooked, reset and the tracks straightened or replaced, with the cause found first so it does not happen again next week.

Garage door openers

Chain, belt and wall-mount openers installed or replaced, the travel and force set to the door, and the safety sensors aligned and tested.

New garage doors

Single and double sectional doors in steel, insulated steel and other finishes, measured to the opening and installed with new springs, tracks and weatherstrip.

Weatherstrip and bottom seals

Bottom seals, perimeter weatherstrip and threshold seals replaced, where daylight, water or leaves come in under the door.

How we work

How we fix a garage door.

We find why it failed, not only what broke

A broken spring is usually a spring that reached the end of its life, but a snapped cable or an off-track door usually has a cause: a bent track, a worn roller, an opener pushing harder than it should. We look at the whole door before we quote, and the written estimate says what we found and what we are replacing.

We balance the door before we touch the opener

With the opener disconnected, a balanced door stays where you leave it halfway up. A door that falls or rises on its own is wearing out the opener and the springs together. We set the spring tension to the door's weight first, then lubricate the rollers, hinges and bearings.

We set the opener and test the safety sensors

The opener's travel limits and force are set to the balanced door, and the safety sensors at the bottom of the tracks are aligned and tested so the door reverses when something is in its way. We leave when the door opens and closes smoothly from the wall button and the remote.

The quote

What a garage door repair costs.

A spring, a cable and a new door are very different jobs. The estimate names each part being replaced, so you can see what the price is made of.

Always included

  • A visit, the door inspected and a free written estimate
  • Every part being replaced named on the estimate
  • Springs sized to the door's weight
  • Door balanced and the hardware lubricated
  • Opener travel and force set to the door
  • Safety sensors aligned and tested
  • Old parts hauled away
  • The door run from the wall button and the remote before we leave

What changes the number

  • Which part failed: a spring, a cable, a roller or the opener
  • One spring or two, torsion or extension
  • Single or double door, and its weight
  • Whether the track is bent or the door came off it
  • Repairing the opener against replacing it
  • A new door: size, material, insulation and windows

Garage door questions homeowners ask.

My garage door spring broke. Can I still open the door?

Do not try to lift it with the opener, and be careful lifting it by hand: without the spring, the door's full weight is on you and on the opener. Leave it closed if you can, keep people and cars clear of it, and call us. A broken spring is one of the most common garage door calls and is usually fixed in a single visit.

Should I replace both springs if only one broke?

On a door with two springs, usually yes. They were installed together and have done the same number of cycles, so the second one is close to the end of its life too. Replacing both keeps the door balanced and saves a second visit. The estimate says which we recommend and why.

Can I adjust the springs myself?

We recommend you do not. A wound torsion spring holds enough energy to injure someone badly, and it takes the right bars and the right procedure to release or wind it. Tightening the opener's force setting to make up for a weak spring is the other common mistake; it hides the problem and wears out the opener.

Why does my garage door reverse before it closes?

Most often the safety sensors at the bottom of the tracks are out of line, dirty or blocked, or the opener's close force or travel limit is set wrong. Sometimes it is a door that binds in the track. We check the sensors and the door's balance before we touch the opener's settings.

Do you install new garage doors?

Yes. We measure the opening, go through the size, material, insulation and window options with you, and install the door with new springs, tracks and weatherstrip. The old door is hauled away.

Do you work on commercial overhead doors too?

Yes. Warehouse, shop and loading dock doors are a separate service: overhead sectional doors and roll-up doors, their springs and their operators. See our overhead and dock door page.
