The diagnostic service call is $0 if you go ahead with the repair. We give you the price on site and you decide. What the repair visit covers →
After a loud crack the door will barely lift. Why?
A spring has most likely broken. Springs hold the weight of the door, so leave it closed, stop using the opener and phone us. Broken spring signs →
Do you work on my opener brand?
Most likely. We service LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie and Linear openers, and doors from Clopay, Amarr, Raynor and CHI, among others. Opener repair →
Do storm outages make a battery-backed opener worthwhile here?
For many Tarrant County homes it is worth it. Ice storms and spring thunderstorms cause outages, and a backup battery keeps the opener working for several cycles. Opener installation →
Hail hit my door. Can one section be replaced?
Often, yes. When only one or two sections are damaged and the model is still made, we swap in matching sections. If most of the door is dented, a new door may cost less overall. Panel replacement →
The door is crooked in its opening. Is it safe to run?
No. Unplug the opener, keep children and pets clear and leave the door where it is. A door out of its tracks can drop suddenly. Off-track repair →
I can see a frayed lift cable. What now?
Stop using the door. A frayed cable can break under tension and let one side fall, so it should be replaced before the door runs again. Cable repair →
What makes a garage door rattle and squeal?
Usually worn rollers and loose hinges. Sealed nylon rollers quiet most doors, and we check the tracks during the same visit. Roller replacement →
Will anyone answer late in the evening?
