Why balance matters
A heavy door wears out everything else
One-piece doors are heavy. If the door isn’t balanced, the opener has to fight it every time, which shortens its life. A badly balanced one-piece door can also be unsafe.
We adjust the springs and hardware until the door lifts smoothly by hand, then set the opener to match.
Repair or replace
When a new sectional door makes more sense
If the frame is rotting or the door has been patched many times, a new sectional door can cost less over time and frees up the driveway, since it doesn’t swing out. We’ll give you a written price for both and let you decide.
Reviews
Repairs, in our customers’ words
The owner himself showed up the same day and demonstrated how to re-engage. In addition, he lubricated the system, repaired the light socket and even discounted the visit. Incredible customer service!
Jeff reassured us that at most the door needed some lube which he did. He did not try in any way to create a problem where there was none…
Clear and transparent pricing. Quality and timely work with good communication. Not pushy or salesy. Replaced my garage door opener and thought Jeff was very knowledgeable.
FAQ
Repair questions

How fast can you come out?
Call by 11 am and we can usually fix it the same day. Later calls are usually scheduled for the next day.
Is it safe to use my door with a broken spring?
No. With a broken spring the door is dead weight. Running it can damage the opener, pull the door off its tracks or hurt someone. Leave it closed if you can and call us.
My door feels heavy. Do I need new springs?
Not always. The door may just be out of balance. On a tune-up we adjust the springs, tracks, hinges and opener. If the springs are rusty or over 10 years old, we may recommend replacing them.
My door came off its tracks. What should I do?
Leave it where it is. Don’t force it down or run the opener: there is extreme tension on the cables and springs and the door could fall. Keep people and cars clear and call us.
Garage door stuck?
