Common Questions About Residential Garage Door Repair
How quickly can you respond to a repair call?
For emergencies like broken springs or doors stuck open, we offer same-day service throughout the Puget Sound area. Standard non-emergency repairs are typically scheduled within one to two business days, depending on your location and our current volume.
Is it worth repairing my garage door or should I replace it?
It depends on the door's age, overall condition, and the cost of the repair relative to replacement. As a general rule, if the repair cost exceeds 50 percent of a new door's price and the door is over 15 years old, replacement usually makes more sense. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment and never push for unnecessary work.
Why is my garage door so noisy?
The most common causes of noisy garage doors are worn nylon or steel rollers, loose hardware, and lack of lubrication on moving parts. In some cases, the hinges or spring system may be the source. A technician can pinpoint the cause and typically resolve it in under an hour.
Can you repair just one damaged panel?
Yes, in most cases individual panels can be replaced without replacing the entire door. However, the panel must still be available from the manufacturer, and the remaining panels need to be in reasonable condition. We will check availability and let you know your options before starting any work.
Do you provide a warranty on repairs?
Yes. All of our repair work is backed by a warranty on both parts and labor. The specific warranty period depends on the type of repair and the parts used, and your technician will explain the coverage before completing the job.
My garage door reverses before hitting the floor. What is wrong?
This is usually caused by misaligned photo-eye sensors, incorrect close-limit settings on the opener, or an obstruction in the door's path. It can also indicate that the door is out of balance, which puts excess strain on the opener. Our technicians can diagnose and correct all of these issues during a standard service call.
