When your garage door stops working, we fix it
A broken garage door can trap your car, leave your home unsecured or leave a heavy door hanging at an angle. We repair residential and commercial garage doors of all makes and models across the Greater Sacramento Area, and our phone line is open 24 hours a day.
Common problems we are called about
- The door will not open or close, or stops partway
- The door reverses before it reaches the floor
- The opener runs but the door does not move
- A loud bang from the garage, then a door that feels very heavy – often a broken spring
- The door is crooked, has come off its track, or a cable looks frayed or loose
- Grinding, squealing or scraping as the door moves
- A remote or wall button that only works some of the time
- Dented panels, worn rollers or damaged weatherstripping
Safety first while you wait
Garage door springs and cables are under extreme tension. Please do not try to adjust, loosen or remove them yourself.
- If a spring is broken, do not run the opener – the door is no longer balanced.
- Keep children, pets and vehicles clear of a door that is crooked or off its track.
- If the door is stuck open, call us and we will talk you through keeping the garage secure.
What to expect
How a repair visit works
- Tell us what is happening. Call or send a request and describe the symptoms – photos help.
- We confirm a time. We contact you to agree when we will arrive.
- Diagnosis. We inspect the door, its hardware and the opener, and explain what we find and your options.
- Repair and test. We complete the agreed repair and check that the door travels smoothly and reverses safely.
Opener trouble instead?
Blinking lights, a humming motor or a remote that has stopped working usually point to the opener rather than the door. See opener repair and installation.
Time for a new door?
If your door needs frequent repairs or has badly damaged panels, replacement can be the better value. Learn about new door installation.
Repair questions
Do you repair every brand of garage door?
Yes – we repair garage doors and openers of all makes and models.
Can you come out the same day?
Same-day appointments are often available. Call us and we will give you the earliest time we can be there.
Can I still use my door with a broken spring?
Please do not. Without a working spring the opener has to lift the full weight of the door, which can damage the opener and lets the door drop suddenly.
