Called at 3pm, tech arrived at 5pm, fixed the next day. Can’t recommend enough! Thank you Mike!

Logan Ullyot

Really Pleased
Problems with my garage doors surfaced yesterday.
Brandon was here early this morning, and suggested simple tune up for the double doors and replacement of the very old single door opener. Good advice and fair quote.
This afternoon, Wade arrived and did a fabulous job of installing the new single opener, fine tuning the existing double opener, and thoroughly explaining how to operate both. Result : Great Job, everything works like a charm!
Good Price, Great Service.
Thank You

Elizabeth Worrall

Our garage door malfunctioned and I called and got Brandon. He was excellent! He walked me through steps over the phone with a great attitude and then came and fixed the door while also providing next steps of action with clear communication and expectations.
Highly recommend!

What does maintenance cover?

Our comprehensive garage door maintenance includes a range of tasks designed to ensure years of reliable operation. These tasks include:

A Comprehensive Inspection – This is the most important part of any residential garage door maintenance call. The garage door technician will go over every component of your door, checking for signs of wear and tear, or damage, such as dents, cracks, loose parts, or other issues. It’s important to identify these signs early so you can catch them before they turn into major repairs.
Lubrication of All Moving Parts – Friction is the enemy of your garage door. Its moving parts must be properly lubricated in order to preserve proper function. Our technician will apply lubricant to the rollers, hinges, tracks, and any other parts as needed.
Adjusting the Springs – The springs help balance your garage door’s weight and support its movement. If the springs are not properly adjusted, it can lead to safety hazards and even render your garage door inoperable. Our trained maintenance technicians will adjust the springs as needed to ensure the best performance. This task is very dangerous if you do not know what you are doing.
Inspecting the Cable and Pulley System – Another vital component to the opening and closing of your door is the cable and pulley system. Due to the nature of the door, this is a part that can wear out quickly. Our garage door maintenance technician will inspect it and replace any parts as necessary.
