Garage Door Repair

Which Part Is Failing? Match the Symptom

Most door trouble traces back to a short list of parts. Spot your symptom in this list, then read the matching repair page:

• The door feels heavy or will not lift. The torsion or extension springs carry the weight. See spring repair.
• The door tilts or hangs on one side. A lift cable has slipped, frayed or snapped. See cable repair.
• The door jams or scrapes in the rail. The track may be bent or a roller may have popped out. See track repair.
• A panel is dented, cracked or sagging. A single section can often be swapped. See panel replacement.
• The motor runs but the door does not behave. The fault may sit in the opener, not the door. See opener repair.

How a Repair Call Works

You call and describe the door. We find the cause on site and tell you what it costs. You approve the price, and then the work starts. The diagnosis costs you $0 when you go ahead with the repair. Add a photo of the door when you request a callback, because it helps us bring the right parts.

Why Wear Builds Up Fast on Hillside Homes

A garage in the hills is often the daily way in and out, and every trip is one full cycle for the springs, cables and rollers. A household with two cars can add many cycles a week, so parts reach the end of their life sooner than owners expect. Orinda has cool, rainy winters and warm, dry summers, so we look at tracks, rollers and bottom brackets on every visit, not only the part you called about.

We repair doors in Orinda, Moraga and Lafayette. Prefer to ask first? The contact page lists every way to reach us, and the pricing page has the starting prices in full.
