Safety Warnings
Garage door systems involve heavy components under significant mechanical tension. A standard residential garage door weighs 150–400 pounds, and the springs that counterbalance that weight store tremendous energy. Please keep these safety warnings in mind:
- If your door is stuck open, do not try to force it closed — wait for professional help.
- If you hear a loud bang from the garage, a spring may have broken — do not operate the door.
- Keep children and pets away from a malfunctioning garage door until it's been inspected.

Repair vs. Replace: How to Decide
Deciding between repairing your existing garage door components and replacing them depends on the age of your system, the severity of the issue, and cost-effectiveness. As a general guide: if your garage door or opener is under 10 years old and the repair cost is less than 50% of replacement, repair is usually the better value. If your system is older than 15 years, has repeated issues, or lacks modern safety features, replacement may offer better long-term value. Our technicians provide honest assessments — we never push unnecessary replacements because our technicians are not on commission.
