Garage Door Repair
Most garage doors that stop working are not worn out. They are a sound door attached to a worn counterbalance, a frayed cable, a flat-spotted roller or a track that has shifted a few millimetres out of line. Those parts are made to be replaced.
A door that is suddenly heavy, crooked, noisy or unwilling to close is usually describing one of those failures very precisely. If you tell us the symptom, we can tell you what it almost certainly is before we arrive.
Rollers are the cheapest part of a garage door and the cause of a surprising share of the noise. Nylon rollers flat-spot, steel rollers corrode and seize, and a seized roller drags along the track and loads the opener.
Tracks take hits — a car bumper, a bicycle, a struck bin. Once a track is bent or pulled out of plumb the door binds, runs crooked and eventually leaves the track entirely. We straighten and realign where the track is sound, and replace the affected section where it is not.
A dented or cracked section does not always mean a new door. Where the section is still available and the rest of the door is structurally sound, replacing the affected panel is the economical repair. We will tell you honestly when the profile is discontinued or the other sections are too far gone for a section swap to look right.
The two small sensors at the bottom of the opening are the reason a door stops and reverses instead of closing on a child or a pet. When the door will not close, dirty or misaligned sensors, corroded wiring or direct sun on the receiver are the usual causes — not the opener.
If the panels are sound and the opening is standard, repair is almost always the better spend, because the moving parts are designed to be renewed. Replacement makes more sense when the door is water-damaged or delaminating, when impact damage affects several sections, when a discontinued door cannot be matched, or when you want a different look and better insulation while the work is being done.
We give you both numbers and let you choose. We do not run a repair into the ground on a door that will not hold up.
