Garage door questions from West Seattle
Not on the list? Call and ask. A person answers.
Call 425-776-5162Do you come to West Seattle for garage door repair at night or on a weekend?
Yes. Call 425-776-5162. The line is answered 24 hours a day, weekends and holidays included. When a garage door will not open, a broken spring is the usual cause, and it is a repair, not a new door.
Salt air has rusted the springs and hardware on my garage door. Can it be saved?
Often it can. Springs, cables, rollers and hinges can be replaced on their own and the door balanced again. When the steel sections themselves have rusted through, a new door is the better value, and we will say so.

Yes. We repair residential garage doors and openers of any make in West Seattle.
