Repair or Replace?
Most garage door issues are repairable — a single broken spring or worn opener gear rarely means a full replacement. If the door itself is dented, warped, or the panels are separating, replacement can be more cost-effective long-term. We'll walk you through both paths so you can decide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical repair take?
Most common repairs — springs, cables, rollers — are completed in a single visit. More involved work like panel replacement may take longer depending on parts availability.
Is it safe to use my garage door with a broken spring?
No. A broken spring puts the full weight of the door on the opener and cables, which can lead to further damage or injury. Stop using the door and call for service.
