Springs, cables, rollers, openers, tracks, and panel replacement on residential garage doors - that's the daily work. Given how much of the housing stock here dates to the 1950s through early 2000s, a good share of our calls are original hardware on doors nobody makes parts for anymore, which changes whether we repair or recommend a full swap.
The cold winters here matter more than people expect. Steel contracts, lubricant stiffens, and openers that run fine in July start struggling to lift in January. If your door's been getting slower to open as it's gotten colder, that's worth mentioning when you call - it changes what we check first.
What we can price over the phone: a stuck opener, a noisy roller, a cable that's frayed but hasn't snapped. What we can't price until we see it: anything involving a broken spring under tension, a door that's come off its track, or a panel that's visibly bowed. Those need eyes on the door, because the difference between a $100 fix and a $900 one is often something you can't describe accurately over the phone - and we'd rather tell you that than quote low and surprise you at the invoice.
