Garage Door Opener Fixes You Can Do Yourself and When to Call a Pro

Most of Citrus Heights was built between the 1960s and the 1980s, along corridors like Sunrise Boulevard, Greenback Lane and Auburn Boulevard. A lot of those garages have been through more than one door, and some still run extension springs or an older chain-drive opener. That hardware can be fixed, but it’s also where a replacement starts to make sense.
Typical problems on doors this age are broken springs, frayed cables, a door that’s off its track after a bump from a car, and openers that hum but won’t lift. We repair them all, and our technicians carry common parts on the truck.
If it’s time for a new door, we install doors from CHI, Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton and First United, and you can try styles in our Door Builder.
Springs are essential pieces of a garage door that need to be functional to ensure your door actually goes up and down properly.

Cables are essential for the safe use of your garage door, so let’s be sure your cables are repaired with long-lasting replacements.

Older extension-spring systems use long springs along each track, and when one snaps it can whip. If your door has them, make sure a safety cable runs through each spring. Our guide to how long springs last explains the wear cycle.
Sacramento-area summers regularly hit 100°F, which dries out rollers and weatherstripping on older doors. If the door has become loud or jerky, it’s usually rollers or lubrication. A new bottom seal also helps keep out heat, dust and pests.
Those are extension springs, common in older Citrus Heights homes. They work, but each one needs a safety cable. We can inspect and repair them, and quote a replacement if the door is due.
It depends on the panels and the hardware. We'll give you a free estimate for both so you can decide.
