Best Garage Door Services Across the USA

Regular garage door maintenance is key. It helps your door last longer and avoids expensive repairs. We recommend scheduling maintenance at least once a year.

During a maintenance visit, our technicians will:

• Lubricate moving parts.
• Inspect the springs.
• Check safety sensors.
• Ensure everything is working smoothly.

If you use your garage door a lot or live in a tough climate, you should maintain it more often. This helps keep the door working well.

There are several signs that your garage door may need repair:

• Unusual noises: If your garage door grinds, squeals or bangs, it might mean that parts like springs, rollers or cables are worn out.
• Slow or jerky movement: If a garage door moves slowly or jumps, it could have problems with the opener or tracks.
• Off-track door: If your door is misaligned, it will not close properly. This can lead to more damage.
• Broken springs: If you hear a loud snap or find the door hard to lift, the springs may be broken. They need immediate attention.

Visible damage: Cracks, dents or any damage to the door can affect how well it works and its security. If you see any of these issues, contact a professional. They can assess the problem and make timely repairs.

Homeowners can do small tasks like cleaning or lubricating parts. But, most garage door repairs should be done by professionals. Garage doors are complex. DIY repairs can be risky. This is especially true for heavy parts like springs that are under high tension. Trying to fix things without the right tools or skills can hurt you or damage the door more. It is best to call a professional to handle more serious repairs.

The cost of garage door repairs depends on the nature of the problem. Simple repairs, such as fixing a crooked track or changing a broken roller, usually cost less. But complex repairs, like spring replacements or opener problems, can cost more. On average, repairs can range from $100 to $500, but it can vary based on your specific service needs and location. We offer free estimates, so you will know exactly what the repair will cost before any work begins.

A good garage door can last 15 to 30 years. This depends on the material, climate and how often you use it. Steel doors usually outlast wooden ones. Plus, regular maintenance can greatly increase your garage door's lifespan. If your door is showing signs of wear or frequent breakdowns, it may be time to replace it. A new garage door can improve your home’s curb appeal and increase energy efficiency.

There are several reasons why your garage door might stop working, including:

• Broken springs: The springs lift the door. If they break, lifting the door becomes hard or even impossible.
• Worn-out opener: If the opener is malfunctioning, the door will not open or close properly. This can be due to a faulty motor or wiring issue.
• Misaligned tracks: If the tracks are not aligned or blocked, the door will not move smoothly. It may even get stuck.
• Faulty safety sensors: Garage doors have sensors. They stop the door from closing on people or objects. If these sensors are blocked or misaligned, the door may not close properly.

Dead remote batteries: Sometimes, the problem is just dead batteries in the remote. If your garage door is not working properly, call a pro to find and fix the problem.
