Our technicians arrive with common replacement parts on hand, ready to fix the door on the spot and leave it working safely.
Signs Your Garage Door Needs Professional Repair
Catch Garage Door Problems Before They Get Worse
A garage door is a heavy, spring-loaded system, and one worn part puts extra strain on every other part. Watch for these signs that your door needs a technician:
The door lifts a few inches and stops, or feels much heavier when you lift it by hand
A loud bang came from the garage, and there is now a gap in the spring above the door
Cables look frayed or loose, or have slipped off the drums
The door hangs crooked, rubs against the track, or has popped off its rollers
Grinding, scraping, or popping noises every time the door moves
The opener motor runs, but the door barely moves
Daylight or drafts coming in around the bottom seal
Springs and cables hold the full weight of the door under high tension, so a failure in either one can cause serious injury. If you notice any of these signs, stop using the door and leave the repair to a trained technician.

Every Moving Part of Your Garage Door, Repaired Right
Most garage door breakdowns trace back to a handful of parts that wear out with daily use. Here is what our technicians repair on doors across the Sacramento area:
Spring Replacement
Torsion and extension springs do the heavy lifting and eventually break after thousands of open and close cycles. We replace broken springs with ones matched to your door's size and weight, then rebalance the door so the opener isn't overworked.
Cable Replacement
We replace lifting cables, torsion spring cables, extension spring cables, retaining cables, and emergency release cables. A snapped cable can drop one side of the door, so we replace it before the door goes back into use.
Track Repair
A bumped or twisted track throws the whole door out of line and can leave the garage open to intruders and pests. Most tracks can be straightened and realigned instead of replaced, which gets the door rolling smoothly and closing securely again.
Roller and Hinge Repair
Worn rollers grind and stick, and loose hinges let the panels sag out of alignment. We swap out damaged rollers and hinges and tighten the hardware, so the door runs quietly.
Weatherstripping Repair
A torn or flattened bottom seal lets in drafts, dust, and pests and causes big temperature swings inside the garage. We replace worn weatherstripping to seal the door against the ground again.
Opener Motor and Gear Repair
A dead opener doesn't always need to be replaced. We can often bring the motor back by replacing stripped gears or damaged wiring, which costs far less than a new unit.
Every repair ends with a full test of the door's balance, travel, and auto-reverse safety system before we leave.

When a Garage Door Repair Isn't the Whole Answer
Some problems sit in the opener alone, and some doors or openers have reached the end of their service life. These related services pick up where a standard repair leaves off:
Openers that hum, reverse on their own, or ignore the remote get dedicated garage door opener repair for chain, belt, screw, and smart units.
When panels are badly dented, or the door is too worn to be worth fixing, we handle new garage door installation for homes and businesses.
If an opener is beyond repair, we can recommend and complete a new opener installation sized to your door's weight and daily use.
During the inspection, our technicians explain whether a repair, a new opener, or a new door is the better use of your money, so you can decide with the full picture in front of you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does garage door repair cost?
The cost of garage door repair will vary based on which garage door company you work with, what needs to be fixed specifically, and what parts are needed. A garage door professional can inspect the problem and provide an estimate on site.
Why is my garage door not opening?
This can be due to a variety of different reasons. Some common reasons include a broken spring, malfunctioning door opener or general wear and tear. If your garage door is not opening properly, be sure to double-check that your garage opener is correctly plugged in and try switching out your garage door remote or even keypad batteries to confirm if it is something more serious.
How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?
There are a few signs of a broken garage door spring to look out for. The most obvious signs include your garage door not opening completely, hearing a loud, unusual noise from your garage door, and your garage door closing too quickly or in other unusual ways.
What causes a garage door to come off of its track?
When a garage door comes off of the track, that means one of the door lift cables is not able to properly wind up, causing it to come undone altogether. A physical impact to the garage door can cause this, or it may just naturally happen over time. If the problem keeps occurring, it may be due to an unbalanced door or a damaged track, and a garage door professional can take care of it.
How do you fix a garage door that will not close?
If your garage door will not close, there are a few things you can do to try to fix it. This includes checking the sensors, making sure your garage door is still on its track, and reading your garage door manual to troubleshoot. If all else fails and you need your garage closed, for the time being, you can manually close it with caution.
