How much does garage door repair cost?

Repair costs vary depending on the issue. Minor repairs like sensor alignment or track adjustment typically range from $100-$200. Spring replacement usually costs $200-$400 for a pair. Cable repairs, panel replacements, and opener repairs vary based on parts needed. We always provide an upfront quote before starting work.

My garage door won't open. What could be wrong?

Several issues can cause a garage door not to open: broken springs (most common), a tripped opener motor, misaligned safety sensors, broken cables, track obstructions, or a disconnected opener. We recommend not forcing the door and calling for professional diagnosis to avoid further damage or injury.

How long do garage door springs last?

Standard garage door springs typically last 7-12 years or about 10,000 cycles (one open + one close = one cycle). High-cycle springs can last 25,000 to 50,000 cycles. Spring lifespan varies based on usage frequency, climate, and maintenance. We install high-cycle springs as standard practice for longer life.

Can I replace garage door springs myself?

We strongly advise against DIY spring replacement. Garage door springs are under extreme tension—enough force to cause serious injury or death if they release unexpectedly. Professional technicians have specialized tools and training to perform this repair safely. The cost of professional service is minimal compared to the risk of injury.

Should I replace both springs at once?

Yes, we recommend replacing both springs together even if only one is broken. When one spring fails, the other is likely near the end of its life too. Replacing both ensures balanced operation and prevents a second service call in the near future. The labor savings of doing both at once also makes it more cost-effective.

How long does garage door installation take?

A standard single garage door installation typically takes 2-4 hours. Double doors or custom installations may take 4-6 hours. This includes removing the old door, installing the new door, connecting and programming the opener, and testing all safety features. We'll provide a time estimate when you schedule.

Do you remove the old garage door?

Yes! Old door removal and disposal is included in our installation service at no additional charge. We'll haul away your old door, tracks, and hardware so you don't have to worry about disposal.

What garage door brands do you install?

We install and service all major garage door brands including Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, CHI, Northwest Door, and others. We'll help you choose the best brand and style based on your needs, preferences, and budget during your free consultation.

What type of garage door opener is best?

It depends on your priorities. Chain drive openers are the most affordable but noisiest. Belt drive openers are significantly quieter, ideal for attached garages or bedrooms above. Direct drive/screw drive openers have minimal moving parts for reliability. We can help you choose based on your situation.

Can I control my garage door with my phone?

Yes! We install WiFi-enabled smart openers from LiftMaster, Chamberlain, and Genie that connect to smartphone apps. You can open, close, and monitor your door from anywhere. You'll receive alerts when the door opens and can grant guest access remotely. We can also add smart capabilities to some existing openers.

Why won't my garage door opener work?

Common causes include dead remote batteries, unplugged or tripped opener unit, misaligned safety sensors, stripped gears in the motor, or a disconnected door. Try replacing remote batteries and checking the outlet first. If the opener runs but the door doesn't move, the problem is likely internal. Call us for diagnosis.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency service?

Yes! We provide true 24/7 emergency garage door service. When you call our emergency line, you'll speak to a real person who will dispatch a technician as quickly as possible. We understand that a broken garage door can be a security risk and major inconvenience, so we respond promptly.

Are there extra fees for emergency or after-hours service?

Unlike some companies that charge double or triple rates for after-hours calls, we keep our emergency service rates fair and transparent. There may be a modest after-hours fee, but we don't gouge customers when they're already stressed. We'll quote the price before any work begins.

What should I do if my garage door is stuck open?

If your door is stuck open and you can't secure it, call us immediately for emergency service. While waiting, consider placing valuables out of sight and, if safe to do so, manually pulling the emergency release (red handle) to attempt closing the door manually. Never force a door that won't move—this can cause injury or further damage.

Portland's housing stock ranges from century-old Craftsman homes in neighborhoods like Laurelhurst and Irvington to newer construction in East Portland. Each style presents unique garage door challenges. Older homes often have custom-sized doors or aging hardware that requires careful matching. Newer developments typically use standard sizes but may need upgrades to handles, openers, or insulation.

The Pacific Northwest climate takes a toll on garage door components year-round. Our wet winters cause rust on springs, cables, and hinges if they're not properly maintained or coated. Temperature swings between seasons make metal components expand and contract, which accelerates wear on torsion springs. Most homeowners don't realize that springs last 7 to 9 years on average, not the 10 to 15 years some manufacturers claim.
