Garage Door Repair
Garage door repair for stuck, crooked, and off-track doors.
Garage door repair starts by identifying whether the failure is in the moving door, counterbalance system, tracks, or opener. A stuck, crooked, or off-track door should be kept clear until the springs, cables, drums, rollers, hinges, tracks, and opener drive are checked together.
Garage door off-track repair starts by securing the door
Garage door off-track repair starts by securing the door
An off-track door may have a displaced roller, bent track, damaged hinge, loose cable, shifted drum, or counterbalance problem. The door must be stabilized before components are moved. Continued opener use can pull the door farther out of alignment and increase damage to the tracks, sections, cables, and hardware.
Why the diagnosis comes before the quote
Similar symptoms can come from different systems. A jumped roller may be the visible result of cable tension, track alignment, or a damaged hinge rather than the only failed part. A useful diagnosis separates the door from the opener, checks door balance and hardware condition, and verifies opener travel and safety reversal after the approved repair.
The technician explains the recommended work and price before any approved repair begins.

Common questions
My garage door won't open at all. What's the most likely cause?
A broken spring is one possibility, but lost power, an engaged lock, a disconnected trolley, a cable or roller problem, and an opener-drive failure can produce a similar symptom. If the door feels unusually heavy or crooked, stop operating it and keep the opening clear.
What should I do if my garage door is off track?
Stop the opener, keep people and vehicles clear, and do not pull the manual release while the door is crooked or partly open. The door must be secured before the rollers, tracks, hinges, cables, drums, springs, and sections are inspected.
Can you work on common residential garage doors?
