Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my springs are broken?

If your door feels very heavy, will not open, or you hear a loud snap from the garage, a spring may be broken. Springs should be replaced by a professional for safety.

Why is my garage door making loud noises?

Noise usually comes from worn rollers, loose hardware, dry tracks, or an opener that needs service. A tune up can often solve this quickly.

Can you fix a garage door that is off track?

Yes. An off track door is dangerous and should not be used. We can reset the door, repair any damage, and make sure it runs safely again.

Do you service LiftMaster and Genie openers?

Yes. We provide full LiftMaster and Genie opener service, including repairs, parts replacement, and troubleshooting.

How often should I schedule maintenance?

Most residential doors benefit from yearly maintenance. If your door gets heavy daily use, twice a year is even better.
