No! Garage door spring repair is extremely dangerous and should only be performed by trained professionals. The high tension in springs can cause serious injury or death. Attempting DIY spring repair also voids warranties and can cause additional damage.

Yes! We repair and replace damaged garage door cables. Cables bear significant weight and can wear out or snap. We use high-quality replacement cables and perform a full safety inspection with every cable repair.

Loud noises can indicate several issues: worn rollers, lack of lubrication, loose hardware, worn springs, or track misalignment. Schedule an inspection - we'll identify the cause and recommend repairs before the problem worsens.

Several issues can prevent full closure: misaligned safety sensors, limit setting problems, obstructions in the track, worn springs, or opener issues. Try cleaning the sensors first. If the problem persists, call for professional diagnosis.

This is usually a sensor issue - the safety sensors may be misaligned, dirty, or obstructed. Check that nothing is blocking the sensor beams and clean the sensor lenses. If the problem continues, the sensors may need adjustment or replacement.
