Common Garage Door Problems We See
In our 42 years of business, we have seen almost every failure point imaginable. Understanding what is happening with your door can help you identify when it is time to call a professional.
- Broken Springs: This is the most common issue. The spring carries the weight of the door. When it snaps, the door becomes incredibly heavy and dangerous. Safety Warning: Garage door springs are under immense tension. Never attempt to adjust or replace a spring yourself, as a release of that energy can cause severe injury. Always call a trained professional.
- Snapped Cables: If your door is crooked or hanging lower on one side, a cable has likely snapped or slipped off the drum. This creates an uneven load that can damage the tracks if the door is operated.
- Misaligned Sensors: If your door reverses immediately upon closing, the safety eyes at the bottom of the track are likely blocked or misaligned. We can often resolve this during a routine service call.
- Noisy Operation: Grinding, squeaking, or banging usually indicates worn-out rollers or a lack of lubrication. We recommend a seasonal tune-up to keep the door running quietly.

What Our Customers Say
"New door in about four hours, hauled the old one away, and he stayed to program both cars and the wall panel before he left."
- Tracy Lawson"Both cables had come off the drum and the door was hanging at an angle. I had watched a video and was about ten minutes from trying it myself, which he told me would have been a genuinely bad idea."
- Marisol Delgado"Old chain drive sounded like a freight train through the bedroom above the garage. Went with the belt drive he recommended and I genuinely cannot hear it from upstairs now."
- Andre Coleman
