Common Garage Door Repair Issues and Who Should Fix them!

Noisy Garage Door

Noisy garage doors are the most common issue and cause all kinds of problems, especially for anyone who has to sleep above or next to the garage. Fortunately, most noisy garage doors can be fixed with a combination of routine maintenance and the replacement of a few parts. Following basic maintenance tips will help keep a garage door quiet. Any homeowner can handle simple maintenance procedures.  But, for a more thorough review and overall maintenance of your garage, it is best to hire a professional garage door company.  They will not only perform regular maintenance, but they will also conduct a “safety check” on the operation of your garage door.

Stuck Garage Door

If your garage door won’t open, and you’re sure it’s not the door itself, then the first thing you need to do is check the batteries in your remote. In many cases, the batteries may just need to be replaced. But in some cases, the garage door opener may not work if you’ve tried to activate it with the remote when you’re too far away from your garage. Depending on the remote you’re using, you may have to actually be in front of your driveway before it activates the opener. On the other hand, if you’re sure it’s not the remote, then take a look at the antenna on your garage door opener. It should be hanging down from the motor with nothing blocking it (inspect it to make sure it hasn’t been damaged in some way). If none of these common garage door opener problems appear to be the problem, then you may need to have a professional garage door repair technician to take a look. Garage door repair technicians are trained to identify a problem quickly and can provide, in most cases, a quick solution.

Worn-Out Garage Door Springs

A garage door is counterbalanced by extension springs or torsion springs connected to cables and pulleys. These springs provide a counterforce to the door’s weight and allow it to be raised and lowered with the assistance of a motorized garage door opener. Yet these springs are under constant pressure, and eventually, they wear out. When your garage door opener begins to struggle opening the door, or when you start to notice that it feels pretty heavy to lift by hand, it's likely that the garage door springs are wearing out and need to be replaced. Replacing garage door springs is a job that many homeowners should leave to a garage door repair company.

Damaged Garage Door

Accidents happen, and garage doors do get tired and worn. Properly maintained, a garage door can last for 30 - 50 years or more, but when neglected, it may need to be replaced within 10 or 15 years. More likely, a homeowner may choose to replace a garage door for aesthetic reasons—because they are simply tired of how it looks and want to change the style. Shopping for a new garage door isn't a particularly easy process, partly because homeowners don't have much practice at it.  A full-service garage door company can help in this process and provide a homeowner with many different options to choose from that fits their style and budget.
