Do you charge a service fee? If yes, how much is it, and is it waived with any service?

Yes, there is a service fee. It is $149. However, this fee is waived with the purchase of a new door or motor, certain repair packages, or if the work falls within our warranty window. This gets us there in a fully loaded truck and ready to tackle most repairs during the initial visit. Our technician will also provide a 25-point safety check of your door and motor, will make any recommendations for suggested repairs, and will get approval before starting any work.

Do you offer free estimates on garage door repair?

No, we do not offer free estimates for door repairs or opener repairs. The only free estimates we offer are for new garage doors. Appointments for repair and service work are subject to our $149 service fee, plus parts and labor.

How do customers know if their garage door needs repair vs. replacement?

The age and safety of the door plays an important role when it comes to determining if you should replace or repair a garage door. Our technicians are highly experienced, will asses the condition of your door and make a recommendation as to whether it can be fixed or if it needs to be replaced, keeping safety and affordability in mind first and foremost.

How fast can you usually perform a garage door repair after a customer contacts you?

We aim to complete repair services the same-day as the scheduled appointment. If we need to return with a part, we try to come back within 24-48 hours, though timing is subject to change if we need to order the part from a vendor.

Do you carry parts for all major garage doors, or do any parts require special ordering?

We stock a wide range of high end professional parts: springs, cables, rollers, hinges, openers and their components. In rare cases for specialty or custom doors, certain parts may require special ordering - but we will inform customers upfront. We can complete the repair in a single visit nearly every time.

What causes most garage door spring failures, and what's your approach to replacing them safely?

Most spring failures result from metal fatigue, extreme temperature cycles, or lack of maintenance (e.g. unlubricated parts). Installing springs safely requires precise measurement, matching spring strength (torque), and proper tools. Our technicians use industry-approved safety procedures, ensure tension is balanced, and test multiple cycles before finishing. We repair both torsion and extension springs.

How do I know if my garage door spring needs to be replaced?

Signs include:

Loud bang or snap when opening or closing
The door opens partially then stops or falls
Visible gap or separation in the spring
Uneven or crooked movement
Door is very heavy to lift manually

What is the average cost of a spring repair?

The average cost of a garage door spring repair ranges from $500-$600, including parts and professional installation.

The exact price depends on the size and weight of your garage door, which determine the type of spring needed.

We provide quotes before any work begins and will get the customer approval before starting any work. All repairs are completed by our team of highly trained technicians experienced in both torsion and extension spring systems to ensure safe and reliable operation.

What are the costs of other typical garage door repairs?

We offer affordable and competitive pricing for

Cable replacement
Roller/hinge replacement
Panel repair or replacement
Track Alignment
Opener Repair

On average, a typical repair can cost anywhere from $350 to over $1,000 depending on what is wrong with the garage.

Do you offer warranties on repairs? If so, explain what is covered and for how long.

Yes. We back our repair work with warranties covering parts and labor for the repaired component (e.g. springs, cables) for a specific period. The length of the warranty depends on the repair but can range anywhere from 1 year to 7 years.

Do you do same day garage door installs?

Symptoms that suggest replacement include:
