Should I repair or replace my garage door?

This depends on several factors: the age of your door, the extent of damage, energy efficiency needs, and your budget.

What causes stuck doors in garage doors?

There are several common causes for stuck garage doors. The most frequent culprits include: broken torsion or extension springs, which bear the weight of the door and can snap over time; misaligned or damaged tracks that prevent smooth movement; worn cables that may fray or break; malfunctioning garage door openers or stripped gears; lack of lubrication causing friction in the rollers and hinges; and weather-related issues like ice buildup or warped panels. Sometimes the issue is as simple as dead batteries in your remote or an obstructed photo-eye sensor. Our technicians can quickly diagnose the exact cause and provide a lasting solution.
