Garage door FAQ

Most Alabama calls booked before mid-afternoon get a same-day slot, and anything urgent, a door stuck open or a car trapped inside, moves to the front of the list. The phone line is answered 24 hours.

Common repairs run roughly $120 to $380. Spring replacement usually falls in the $180 to $420 range for a matched pair. You get a flat number before any work starts, not an estimate that grows.

We can, but we do not recommend it. Springs wear at the same rate, so if one has gone the other is close behind. Replacing the pair costs less than paying for a second call-out in a few months.

Nine times out of ten it is the safety sensors near the floor: knocked out of alignment, dirty lenses or a loose wire. It can also be the down-force setting or something in the track. Both are quick fixes.

Yes. Rolling steel shutters, sectional overhead doors, high-cycle spring systems and jackshaft openers for shops, warehouses and fleet yards, including after-hours visits so you do not lose trading time.

If the panels are sound, repair is almost always the better value. Once you have rust through the bottom section, cracked stiles or multiple dented panels, replacement usually costs less over five years.

Yes. If you have bought an opener already we will fit it, program the remotes and keypad, set the travel limits and force settings, and test the safety reverse before we leave.

All the common ones: Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Overhead Door and Raynor doors, plus LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman and Linear openers.

After-hours calls carry a call-out premium, and we tell you the exact number on the phone before we get in the truck. Nothing is added later.

A standard single or double door swap is usually a one-day job: old door and hardware out, new track, springs and sections in, opener reconnected, then balance and safety testing.

Yes, and please stop using the opener until we do. Running a door that has jumped the track bends sections and can burn out the opener. Re-tracking is usually a same-day repair.

We do a 21-point tune-up: balance test, spring cycle check, roller and hinge inspection, track alignment, lubrication, sensor alignment and force adjustment. It is the cheapest way to avoid a call-out.
