Common Garage Door Repair & Maintenance Questions
Does my garage door require regular maintenance?
Yes. Like any mechanical system, your garage door needs regular maintenance to ensure smooth operation and prevent costly repairs. We recommend a yearly inspection to lubricate moving parts, check the balance, and ensure all safety features are functioning correctly. Contact us today to schedule your maintenance appointment.
​
Why is my garage door so noisy - can you fix it?
Absolutely. Noisy garage doors are a common problem caused by worn-out rollers, hinges, or a poorly maintained opener. We can replace old parts with quieter options like nylon rollers or lubricate any areas causing friction. Reach out to our team, and we’ll have your garage door running quietly in no time.
​
My garage door opens very slowly - is there a way to speed it up?
Yes, but several factors could cause a slow garage door. It may be due to the age of the motor, worn-out springs, or even an issue with the opener settings. Our experienced technicians can assess the problem and suggest adjustments or part replacements to improve performance. Contact us to schedule a diagnostic visit.
​
I heard a loud bang in the garage, and now the door won’t open. - what happened?
A loud bang often signals a broken torsion spring. This is a critical issue, as these springs bear much of the weight of your garage door and should only be handled by trained professionals. Attempting a DIY fix can be dangerous. Call us immediately to handle the repair safely and efficiently.
​
The garage door opener isn’t responding when I press the button - what could be wrong?
Several things could cause this issue, from a dead remote battery to a misaligned sensor or a faulty opener motor. We recommend checking the power source and replacing the remote batteries first. If the problem persists, give us a call, and we’ll send a technician to diagnose and fix the issue.
​
My garage door closes partway and then reverses - what should I do?
This is likely due to a sensor alignment issue. Your garage door sensors are designed to prevent accidents by detecting obstructions in the door’s path. If the sensors are misaligned or dirty, the door may stop and reverse. Try cleaning the sensors and ensuring they face each other properly. If that doesn't work, contact us for professional help.
​
The cable on my garage door looks frayed - should I be worried?
Yes, this is a serious safety concern. A frayed cable can snap unexpectedly, leading to potential injury or damage to your garage door. If you notice wear on your cables, it’s best to contact us immediately to replace them and avoid further risk.

My garage door isn’t opening or closing fully - what could be wrong?
