Residential garage door repair and new doors for your home

Broken springs, doors off their tracks, openers that quit. We repair home garage doors of every style and make, and install new steel, wood and aluminum doors when it is time.

What is your garage door doing?

The opener hums or strains and the door barely moves. That is usually a broken spring.

Broken springSnapped cableOpener failure

What we do Replace the spring or cable, balance the door and test the opener. Do not keep running the opener against a broken spring.

Springs

The springs over the door do the lifting, not the opener. They are wound tight and wear out after so many cycles, and when one breaks the door turns too heavy to lift.
