Garage door repair

Garage door repair in Troy

Garage door repair in Troy covers the parts that fail most often: torsion and extension springs, lift cables, rollers, tracks, panels and the opener. We come to the house, look at what the door is doing, and tell you which part is at fault. A door that will not lift, one that hangs crooked in the opening, and one that shudders or bangs all have different causes, and each is fixed differently.

Troy is a city in Oakland County, a northern suburb of Detroit about 15 miles north of downtown Detroit. It is the largest community in Oakland County, so the doors we see range widely in age, size and make. Michigan temperatures swing from deep freezes to humid summers, which is hard on the metal in springs and cables whatever the house.

Springs are the most common failure. A standard torsion spring is rated for a set number of cycles, commonly 10,000, and a family that uses the door several times a day will use that up. When it goes, the door is heavy or will not move, and the opener will strain if you try it. Leave the door closed and tell us what happened. Bent tracks and frayed cables often show up with a broken spring, so we check them at the same visit.

What we fix

Repairs we handle for Troy homes

Broken springs

A snapped torsion or extension spring is replaced with one matched to the weight of your door, so the lift is balanced again.

Cables and drums

A cable that has frayed or slipped off its drum leaves one side of the door hanging. We replace the cable and reseat the drum.

Off-track doors

A door that has jumped the track is not safe to move. We realign the track, replace any bent length of track and check the rollers.

Openers that quit

We test the motor, the logic board, the sensors and the travel limits, then repair what is faulty. If the unit is finished, we tell you plainly.

Panels and hinges

Dented or cracked panels and broken hinges are repaired or replaced so the door closes straight and seals.

FAQ

Troy garage door repair questions

How can I tell which repair my garage door needs?
Match the symptom to the part. A loud bang followed by a heavy door means a spring has broken. A door hanging crooked usually means a cable has come off. A door that hums without moving points to the opener or to a spring. Tell us what you saw and heard and we narrow it down before arriving.
Should I repair my garage door or replace it?
Repair is right when the panels are sound and the problem is a part like a spring, cable or roller. Replacement makes sense when several panels are damaged or the door is too worn to hold new hardware. We tell you which applies after seeing the door, and we say so plainly if a new door is the better value.
Can I open the door with a broken spring?
Do not try. A door with a broken spring is far heavier than it looks, and forcing it can damage the opener, the cables or you. Leave it closed, and if it is stuck open, keep clear of it until we arrive.
Do both springs need to be replaced together?
On a door with two springs, we usually replace the pair. They are installed together and wear at the same rate, so when one breaks the other is close behind. Replacing both saves a second visit.
What does a repair cost?
The price depends on the part, the size and weight of the door, and the condition of the opening. We tell you the number before any work begins, so you decide with it in front of you.
What should I have ready when I call?
Be at the door if you can. Know what you heard or saw, whether the door is open or closed, and whether an opener is attached. If you can read the door size off the panel, that helps.
