We’ll let you know our crew is on the way via text, call or email (your preference).
Once we arrive, our technicians will go over the issue(s) you are experiencing with your garage door or/and operator. They’ll take a look at the problem and generate an estimate for the repair.
When you approve the estimate, the tech will begin working to repair your garage door. During this step, they’ll perform a complete inspection of the entire system to ensure all reverse mechanisms are working properly.
When your tech has completed the repairs, they’ll go over what was performed and test the door several times to ensure everything is working as it should. If adjustments are needed, they’ll make those. Your tech will also ensure everything is properly lubricated.
Our work is done and you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a newly-repaired garage door. All parts and labor are covered by written warranties.

Extend the life of your garage door and avoid surprise repairs with regular maintenance. We recommend two appointments each year.
We were called to the Museum of Life and Science after their maintenance team attempted to fix a 12×12 commercial door with a unique outside pickup and reverse torsion spring system. Following a YouTube video for a standard setup, they reassembled the drums and cables incorrectly and wound the springs in the wrong direction. The door was stuck wide open with no spring tension, creating both a safety and security hazard. We used a forklift to lower the door, corrected the drum placement and cable wrapping, and wound the springs properly toward ourselves – the opposite of standard systems.
One of the most common calls we get is for broken springs. A customer in Durham called because their door would only lift a few inches and then slam back down. We diagnosed a broken torsion spring and replaced both springs on their double door with high-cycle 25,000-cycle springs. They left the visit not only with a safe, working door but also with a 10-year spring warranty.
