Everything the Garage Door Might Need
Pick the service that matches what you noticed or what your inspection listed. Every page describes the early signs, what happens during the work and the questions people raise right after buying a house.
- Garage Door RepairRepair for a door with an unknown history, tracing each fault to the failed part so only that part gets replaced.
- Garage Door Spring RepairWorn or broken springs replaced with a set matched to your door's weight, so a house you just bought lifts evenly again.
- Garage Door Cable RepairFraying or slipped lift cables swapped for correctly sized ones, with drums and end brackets inspected so your door climbs evenly.
- Off-Track Garage Door RepairDoors that slipped out of their rails are made safe, trued and set back in, and we find out why it happened.
- Garage Door Roller & Hinge ReplacementWorn rollers and loose or cracked hinges replaced, which quiets a rattling door and takes strain off the opener.
- Garage Door Panel RepairDented, cracked or crushed door sections repaired or replaced, matching your door so the damage the previous owners left disappears.
- Garage Door Opener RepairAn unfamiliar opener tested and repaired, with remotes cleared so only your devices work, and its model and age noted for you.
- Garage Door Opener InstallationA new opener fitted with fresh remotes and a keypad code of your choosing, when the inherited one is not worth saving.
- Garage Door Sensor RepairMissing, misaligned or dead safety sensors restored and tested, one of the most common garage items flagged in a home inspection.
- Garage Door Weather Seal ReplacementCracked or missing bottom and side seals replaced, closing gaps you only notice after moving in and the lights go off.
- Garage Door Tune-Up & MaintenanceA hands-on first check of a newly bought door, setting a baseline and a simple routine you can follow all year.
- New Garage Door InstallationA replacement door measured, permitted and installed when repair no longer makes sense for the one you bought with the house.
- Hurricane-Rated Garage DoorsLearn whether your door is wind-rated, and if not, what a properly approved replacement involves in Florida.
- Commercial Garage Door RepairRolling steel and larger sectional doors on a small shop or mixed-use property you bought, identified and repaired.
Year one
A Simple Garage Door Checklist for Your First Year
In the first month, test the basics yourself. Place a flat board in the door's path and watch it reverse, wave an object through the sensor beam, and pull the release cord to try the door by hand. A door that stays halfway up when lifted is balanced.
Through the seasons, wipe the track, lubricate hinges and rollers, replace the keypad and remote batteries and look over the bottom seal. Near the one-year mark, have the springs and cables looked at, so wear is caught before a part fails.
