Garage Door Repair in Charlotte, NC

We can perform repairs in the greater Charlotte area and many areas in Piedmont such as Hickory and Winston-Salem. We feel very privileged to be one of the premier garage door service providers in western North Carolina.

One of the most frequent problems is the springs. They do all the heavy lifting and eventually break down and lose strength. Most people don’t have the special tools lying around that are needed to replace them. Electrical problems can also result in a failing door system.

The repair cost is tough to estimate without knowing the problem or the door itself. This is why we provide quotes on the job or ahead of time at no charge. You can reach us by phone at (704) 837-1575 or by email.

This varies with the usage. Some people are always in-and-out, and others consider themselves homebodies. We think of our systems in terms of cycles rather than years. We use springs that are built to last up to 30,000 cycles. That can last you for decades and add value if you ever plan to sell the house.

Often, if a remote is failing, the problem could be the batteries. Try to replace them or see if there’s corrosion where the old ones were. Twigs and dirt can interfere with sensors. The remote could also need to be programmed again. Our technicians are well-versed in the inner workings of remotes and the instructions that come with them.

We understand these things tend to happen at the most inconvenient times, but please do NOT try to lift or pry a door yourself. We cannot emphasize this enough. It poses a danger to you and the structure of your house. We work with broken doors every day and have equipment at our disposal to raise a door safely. Call us at (704) 837-1575, and we’ll send a technician out as soon as possible.

A few different components go into a garage door opening system. These parts include motors, cables, tension springs, screws, tracks, wheels, and the door itself. The door is held in the air by cables and springs. When it’s time for the door to close, the motor powers the unit slowly down tracks that are mounted to the wall and the system responds to either your control panel or remote.

First, make sure there’s nothing in the way. If you don’t see anything on the ground, give the tracks a thorough inspection. Sometimes, sticks or leaves can sneak in and interfere with the wheels. You’ll also want to look over your sensors. A remote can also fail. We can help you rule these problems out one by one.

It’s a good idea to review the main components to make sure it’s not an easy fix, but we don’t recommend you dismantle anything or attempt to lift a door yourself. Garage doors are tremendously heavy and can crush a person, causing injury and even death. We don’t want your door problem to be compounded by medical bills when our certified technicians are just a phone call away.

The cost of a new garage door is surprisingly affordable, and installing a new door is something worth considering if your current unit is failing. If you give us a call, we can show you some options and give you a quote in no time.
