What affects the price

Figuring out what a garage door repair will run depends on a few specific variables. The main factor is whether the issue is mechanical—like a broken spring, frayed cable, or a faulty motor—or if the door panels themselves are damaged. Parts quality and the size or weight of your door also play a role in the total. We don't guess over the internet; a technician assesses your specific setup to provide an exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Your garage door sensors act as a safety beam across the bottom of the opening. If the green or amber lights are blinking or the door won't close, the sensors are likely misaligned or blocked by debris. We adjust the brackets so the beams point perfectly at each other again. If the eyes are damaged or the wiring has frayed, we can repair or replace them to restore your safety features. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Frequently asked in Raleigh

What are the benefits of a garage door screen?

A garage door screen can transform your garage into a usable space. It keeps insects and debris out while allowing fresh air to circulate. This makes your garage cooler and more pleasant for working or storing items. It also provides a barrier against dust and pollen. Installing one can improve the overall usability of your garage.

How is a LiftMaster garage door opener installed?

Installing a LiftMaster garage door opener involves mounting the motor unit to the ceiling above the garage door. The opener's rail is then attached to the door's header. The trolley system connects to the garage door itself. Power is supplied, and the opener's limits and force are set. Finally, remotes and keypads are programmed for operation.

What's involved in garage door installation?

Garage door installation starts with removing the old door and its hardware. The new tracks are installed, followed by the springs and cables. The door panels are then attached to the tracks. The opener is mounted and connected to the door. Finally, all components are tested for smooth operation.

Why is my garage door sensor not working?

A common reason for a garage door sensor not working is misalignment. The sensors, usually located near the bottom of the door tracks, need to be pointed directly at each other. Obstructions in their path can also cause them to fail. Check for dust or dirt on the lenses. Ensure the wires connecting to the sensors are secure and undamaged.

What are the main parts of a garage door opener?

A garage door opener system includes a motor unit, a rail, and a trolley that moves along the rail. It also has a drive mechanism, like a chain, belt, or screw. Safety sensors are crucial for preventing the door from closing on obstructions. Remote controls and wall buttons are used for operation.

What should I look for in garage door companies?

When choosing garage door companies, look for those that are licensed and insured. Check if they offer free estimates and have a clear process for repairs. Reading reviews can give insight into their reliability and customer service. A company with a strong local presence often understands the specific needs of the area.

How does a side mount garage door opener work?

A side mount garage door opener, also known as a jackshaft opener, mounts directly to the torsion bar shaft above the garage door. It uses a motor to rotate the shaft, which in turn opens and closes the door. This type of opener is ideal for garages with low headroom. It operates quietly and efficiently.
