Question 4

How do I know if my garage door springs need to be replaced?

Accepted Answer

Signs that your springs may need replacement include: the door feels unusually heavy when lifting manually, the door doesn't open all the way or opens unevenly, you hear a loud bang from the garage (spring breaking), visible gaps or stretching in the spring, or the door opens too quickly. Never attempt to replace springs yourself – they're under extreme tension and can cause serious injury.

Question 5

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

Accepted Answer

We recommend professional maintenance at least once a year. Regular tune-ups include lubricating moving parts, checking spring tension, testing safety sensors, tightening hardware, and inspecting cables and pulleys. Annual maintenance can extend your garage door's life by years and help prevent costly emergency repairs.

Question 6

Why is my garage door making grinding or squeaking noises?

Accepted Answer

Noisy garage doors usually indicate a need for lubrication or worn parts. Common causes include dry rollers, hinges, or springs, worn-out nylon rollers, loose hardware, unbalanced door, or worn bearings in the opener. Our technicians can diagnose the exact cause and fix it, often in a single visit.

Question 7

How much does garage door repair typically cost?

Accepted Answer

Repair costs vary depending on the issue. Minor repairs like sensor alignment or lubrication typically range from $75-$150. Spring replacement usually costs $150-$350 depending on the type. Opener repairs range from $100-$400. We always provide upfront pricing before starting work, so you'll never be surprised by the final bill.

Question 8

Do you offer financing or payment plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer flexible financing options for larger projects like new door installations. We accept all major credit cards, checks, and cash. For qualifying customers, we have financing plans with low monthly payments available. Ask our technician about financing during your service call.

Question 9

Is there a service call fee?

Accepted Answer

We charge a modest service call fee that covers the technician's trip to your location and initial diagnosis. This fee is waived if you proceed with the repair or installation. We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden costs.
