Garage door repair
Stuck, crooked, roaring, or dead on the tracks — most doors are fixable the same visit.
Typical price, installed
$150–$450
Parts and labor for most single-failure repairs. The trip charge is folded in — you never pay it on top.
Sound familiar?
- The door won’t open, or opens a few inches and stops
- It closes crooked, drags, or slams the last foot
- Grinding, popping, or a bang you heard from inside the house
- The door jumped its track and is wedged at an angle
What I do about it
- I look the whole system over — springs, cables, rollers, track, opener — not just the part that squeaks
- You get one exact price before I touch a wrench, and a straight answer if repairing beats replacing
- Most common failures are fixed from truck stock the same visit
- Every repair ends with a balance test and a safety-reverse test
Asked on most driveways
Can you fix it the same day I call?
Often, yes — a one-truck shop can’t promise every slot, but if you call in the morning I can usually get to you that day, and I’ll tell you honestly on the phone if I can’t.
Do you charge just to come look?
There’s a trip-and-diagnosis charge, but it counts toward the repair if you go ahead. You only ever pay it alone if you decline the work.
Will you try to sell me a new door?
Only if the math genuinely favors it — a rusted-through 25-year-old door can cost more to keep alive than to replace. I’ll show you the numbers for both and you decide.
