If the whole house hears the door go up at six, the noise is telling you something: dry rollers, loose hinges, a chain that needs tension. We track down each sound, correct the cause, and hand back a door you barely notice.

Garage door spring replacement
Some visits are small: a photo-eye knocked out of line, a remote that needs pairing. Others mean lifting the door onto stands and replacing the spring system. Both kinds are listed here, so you can see what a fix involves before we arrive.
The heaviest part of our trade is quiet when it is done right.
Whether the door was hit, has drifted out of alignment or has simply grown loud and tired, the work in this…
A garage door belongs to the architecture. Its movement belongs to your everyday life. We bring both into the conversation.

The heaviest part of our trade is quiet when it is done right. A door with correctly sized springs, sound cables and bearings that turn freely rises with two fingers, and that is the result every hardware service here is aimed at.
Part 1The panels
A stray ball went through one of the window panes in the top section. The glass is gone, the frame around it is cracked, and the steel beside the opening is pushed in, so the whole section is in question rather than one pane.
Part 2The springs
The door drops the last stretch to the floor rather than settling, and when you stop it halfway by hand it slides down instead of staying put. Balance has drifted, and the spring is no longer holding its share of the weight.
Part 3The cables
The cable has wrapped itself around the shaft above the door instead of sitting on its drum. When the opener runs, the door lurches, one side rises before the other, and the top panel twists.
Part 4Tracks and rollers
One of the little wheels along the edge of the door has a chunk missing, another sits crooked in its hinge, and there is a fine grey dust on the floor under the track where plastic has been wearing away.
Part 5The opener
Nothing. No light, no click, no hum from the unit on the ceiling.
Garage Door Safety Inspection. It has been a hard winter.

Openers
Press the button and the door should move; stop pressing and it should keep going until it lands gently. When it does neither, the opener is the place to look.
Door samples
When a door is worn through, badly damaged or simply not what the house deserves, we help you choose and install a new one: insulated steel, carriage house, glass or a match for new construction.
Tap a situation. The answer opens here.
If A car clipped the track and it is bent near the floor.
Then Track section repair or replacement.
A bent lower track binds the rollers on every cycle; straightening or a new section restores clean travel. Garage Door Track Repair or Replacement
If A hinge has cracked and the panel flexes as the door moves.
Then Hinge replacement.
Hinges are numbered for their position on the door; the right one keeps the section aligned. Garage Door Hinge Replacement
If The rollers wobble in the track and the door shudders.
Then Roller replacement.
Worn bearings and stems let the roller wander; a new set tracks true. Garage Door Roller Replacement

Step 1 of 5
Describe the property, the hardware and what has changed, and the visit starts from what you have seen.
Step 2 of 5
Doors rarely fail without a hint. If it got louder, slower or heavier before it stopped, say so; that history steers the diagnosis.
Step 3 of 5
No jargon, no acronyms. We describe the door's parts the way a neighbour would and answer every question as it comes.
Step 4 of 5
Shoes covered, tools on a mat, vehicles protected. Working in someone's garage is a privilege and we treat it that way.
Step 5 of 5
Where there is more than one way forward, you hear all of them, with the trade-offs, and choose what suits your budget and plans.

Every square is one home in a hundred.
They are a diagnostic code. On openers made in roughly the past fifteen years, the head unit flashes its lights, or a pair of up and down arrows, in a counted pattern such as one flash then five. Each pattern corresponds to a fault family on the maker's chart for that model: sensor circuit obstructed or open, motor commanded but not moving, more force than allowed. The technician reads the pattern, then confirms it by hand, since one fault can imitate another.
A hum with no movement means the motor is receiving power but something is stopping it turning, or stopping its turn from reaching the door. On AC units a failed start capacitor is the common cause; on chain-drive heads a stripped nylon drive gear is the other. Less often the trolley has simply been released from the carriage. Each of these is a routine repair once identified, and the hum is one of the more helpful sounds an opener makes.
Look for the simple things: is the opener plugged in and its light working, has the wall control's lock indicator started blinking, does another remote work, is anything sitting in the path of the sensors, and are the little sensor lights steady. Note what the motor does when you press a button. Do not try to lift a door that is stuck if a spring looks broken. Whatever you find, tell the technician; it shortens the diagnosis.
Most residential replacements are completed in one visit. Securing the door, measuring, removing the old spring, fitting and winding the new one, balancing and testing the opener typically takes an hour or two, longer if bearings, cables or a bent top section are also being dealt with. The technician confirms the scope after the first checks, so you know what the visit involves before the work starts.
