Garage Door Repair in Dexter, MI

Broken torsion springs, by a wide margin. After that it is worn rollers, frayed or snapped cables, stripped opener drive gears and misaligned safety sensors. Between them those five faults account for the large majority of calls we take.

Yes, and it is important not to run the opener again in the meantime, because that bends the track permanently and turns a straightforward job into an expensive one. A door normally comes off track because a cable, roller or hinge failed first, so we correct that underlying fault as well as reseating the door.

Most repairs are done inside one to two hours on site. Spring replacement on a standard double door runs about an hour and a half, roller sets around an hour, opener gear kits about an hour, and sensor faults often under thirty minutes.

Both. We fit insulated steel, carriage-house, glass-and-aluminium and custom doors across Dexter, and we remove and dispose of the old door as part of the job. Quotes include the door, track, spring system sized to the weight, labour and haul-away, so the number you see is the number you pay.

Pull the red release cord and try lifting the door by hand. If it is extremely heavy or won't budge, you have a broken spring and should stop there. If it lifts easily, the fault is in the opener: check the photo-eye sensors near the floor for a blinking light, obstruction or misalignment, and confirm the opener still has power. Tell us what you found and we can often diagnose it on the phone.

Usually yes. Standard torsion springs for residential doors ride on the van, so most Dexter spring calls are completed on the first visit. Oversized, high-cycle or unusual commercial springs may need ordering, in which case we secure the door safely and return as soon as the part lands.
