FAQs

What are some common signs my garage door needs repair?

If you've noticed your garage door groaning more than a teenager asked to do chores, or if it’s moving as slow as molasses in January, these could be cries for help. Also watch out for doors that seem to have taken up interpretive dance—jerking, wobbling, or shimmying their way open or closed.

Seriously though, any strange noises like popping sounds, grinding echoes from the opener gears stripping away at their last bit of dignity—or a sudden fondness for free-falling when you least expect it—are all SOS signals from your garage door system begging for attention.

Can I fix my own garage door springs?

Diving into DIY spring repair is about as wise as sticking a fork in an electrical outlet. It's risky business. Garage door springs are under serious tension and can turn into dangerous projectiles if handled improperly. Leave this one to pros who come with the right tools and training—and most importantly—the know-how to get things done safely.

Is there maintenance I can do myself?

Absolutely. Think of it like dental hygiene but less flossy—you wouldn't skip brushing teeth between dentist visits now would you? Lubricating rollers and hinges is something anyone can tackle; just grab some silicone spray and give those parts some love every few months. Just remember: safety first. If climbing ladders isn’t quite your circus act then maybe call someone whose job description includes defying gravity daily—they’ll sort things out while keeping feet firmly on solid ground.
