Even the most robust garage doors fall into disrepair at some point. Some of the most common issues and how we can assist you are listed below:
1. Door Won’t Open or Close
This is caused by a combination of factors, including faulty springs, dented tracks, or broken openers. Our experts will diagnose the issue and give a long-term solution.
2. Noisy Operation
Squeaking or grinding noises often indicate worn-out rollers, loose hardware, or lack of lubrication. We’ll identify the source of the noise and restore quiet, smooth operation.
3. Slow Response Time
If your garage door responds slowly to commands, the issue could lie with the opener’s motor or sensors. We’ll inspect and repair or replace the necessary components.
4. Off-Track Door
A door that has come off its tracks is a serious safety hazard. Our team will realign or replace the tracks to ensure safe and proper operation.
5. Worn-Out Springs
Garage door springs bear the weight of the door and are prone to wear and tear. We’ll replace broken or worn springs to restore balance and functionality.
6. Damaged Panels
Bent or dented panels not only alter the look of your door but its safety and insulation as well. We have panel replacement service for the sake of your door’s functionality and aesthetics.
