Garage door repair and installation in Old Mission, Michigan
The most common call we get from Old Mission is a homeowner who heard a bang from the garage overnight and now finds the door far too heavy to lift. That is a broken torsion spring, and it is the single most frequent garage door failure there is. It is also the one part you should not attempt yourself, because those springs hold enough stored energy to break bones.
We work on everything from twenty-year-old single-skin builder doors to new insulated steel and carriage-house units across Old Mission. That range matters, because it means we can tell you honestly when a repair is the sensible option and when you are better off putting the money toward a door that won't need us again next winter.
We cover the whole of Old Mission and the surrounding area for residential and commercial work: torsion and extension springs, lift cables, rollers, hinges, tracks, weather seals, opener repair and replacement, and complete new door installation with the old door taken away. Call (888) 904-6236 and describe what the door is doing.

What people in and around Old Mission say
Hinge had torn out of the panel. Repaired the section and reinforced it instead of condemning the door.

Nadia F.Old Mission garage door questions
Is a garage door spring something I can replace myself?
No, and this is the one job we ask people not to attempt. Torsion springs are wound under enough tension to break bones or worse if they release unexpectedly, and the winding bars are not interchangeable with screwdrivers or rebar. It is a genuinely dangerous repair and it is priced modestly for that reason.
How long does a new garage door installation take?
A straightforward single or double door replacement is typically a half-day: removing the old door and hardware, squaring the opening, installing the new track and spring system, then balancing and testing. Custom sizes, carriage-house doors or jobs needing structural work can run into a second visit.
My garage door closes then immediately opens again. Why?
That is the safety reversal doing its job. Either the photo-eye sensors are misaligned or obstructed, or the close-force setting on the opener is too sensitive, or something in the track is physically stopping the door. Check the sensors first: both lights should be steady, not blinking. If they look fine, it is usually a force adjustment.
Can you replace a broken garage door spring the same day in Old Mission?
Usually yes. Standard torsion springs for residential doors ride on the van, so most Old Mission 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.
What brands of garage door opener do you work on?
All the common ones: LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Sommer, Overhead Door, Marantec and Wayne Dalton, plus commercial operators. If your unit predates 1993 it has no photo-eye safety sensors, and we will recommend replacement on safety grounds rather than repairing it.
How often should a garage door be serviced?
Once a year for a door that gets normal daily use, and twice if it is the main entrance to the house or a commercial door cycling dozens of times a day. Michigan winters are particularly hard on cables and rollers, so a service in autumn catches problems before the cold makes them worse.
