Repair, service and installation for Pontiac garage doors

People search for garage door repair in Pontiac, MI when something has just gone wrong: the door shut with a bang and now will not rise, or it hangs lower on one side, or the opener runs and the door stays put. Those symptoms point at specific parts. A bang followed by a heavy door is almost always a spring. A door that lifts crooked usually has a cable off one drum. A grinding sound that gets worse with each cycle points at rollers or a bent track.

Pontiac is the county seat of Oakland County, a city roughly 26 miles northwest of downtown Detroit and part of the Detroit metropolitan area. A city that large has garages of every age, and the age matters: older doors often hang on extension springs along the side tracks, while newer sectional doors use torsion springs on a shaft, and each type is repaired in its own way.

We also install new doors. When a door has several cracked panels or will not stay in adjustment, installing a new one is cleaner than repairing it again, and our technician will say so if that is the case.

What we check

Options on the table when we look at your door

Replace the spring

The most common fix. Torsion springs are replaced as a pair so the door stays balanced, and extension springs are replaced with matching safety cables in place.

Re-seat or replace cables

A cable that has slipped off its drum can sometimes be reset. If strands are broken, it comes off and a new one goes on.

Straighten or swap track and rollers

A lightly bent track can be worked back into line. Bad bends and worn rollers get replaced so the door stops scraping.

Replace damaged panels

When one panel is dented, we can sometimes match a replacement. If panels are no longer made, we talk through replacing the door.

Install a new door

Insulated or uninsulated, single or double, plain panels or windows. We measure the opening, review the options and explain how each choice affects the price.

FAQ

Pontiac garage door repair, questions we hear

How common is it for a garage door spring to break?
Springs are the most common failure, since every cycle flexes them. A standard torsion spring is built for a limited number of cycles, so a household that opens the door many times a day wears one out sooner than a household that opens it once.
Do I need to replace both springs?
If the door has two, replace both. They have worked through the same number of cycles, and a new spring next to an old one leaves the door unbalanced.
Can a universal opener work on my door?
Often a universal opener or remote will work, but the right match depends on the opener's age and the frequency of its remote. We can tell on the visit, and for a closer look at that kind of problem we also handle opener repair.
Should I repair this door or install a new one?
If one or two parts failed and the panels are sound, repair. If panels are cracked, rotting or sagging, or the door has been repaired repeatedly, a new door is the better value. We say which applies when we see it.
How is the price worked out?
It depends on the parts, the size and type of the door, and the condition of the opening. We give you the quote before the work starts, and nothing changes without your say.
What does a visit cover?
A uniformed technician explains the problem before starting, makes the repair, and tests the door. Repairs and installations are backed by a parts-and-labor warranty.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we are licensed and insured, and locally owned and operated.
