Garage door repair and installation in Pontiac, Michigan
The most common call we get from Pontiac 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.
Garage doors in Pontiac take a beating from Michigan weather. Cold thickens the grease in roller bearings, road salt corrodes cables where they meet the drum, and freeze-thaw cycles bond the bottom seal to the slab so the opener strains every morning. Most of the calls we take between November and March come back to one of those three things.
We cover the whole of Pontiac 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.

- Call and describe itTell us what the door is doing. Nine times out of ten we can name the failed part on the phone and give you a price range before anyone drives out.
- Pick your windowSame day where we have capacity, next day otherwise, and a genuine two-hour window rather than 'sometime Tuesday'.
- Diagnosis and flat quoteThe technician confirms the fault, shows you the part, and gives a written flat price. If you don't want the work, there's nothing further to pay on a standard callout.
- Fixed, tested, tidiedWe complete the repair, rebalance the door, test the safety reversal, lubricate the moving parts and take the old components away.

What people in and around Pontiac say
Our opener had been groaning for months. Turned out to be the gear kit, not the whole motor like the other company told us. Saved us about four hundred dollars.
Jenna R.Both springs replaced and he balanced the door properly afterward. Lifts with one finger now.
Andre C.Cable snapped and the door was hanging at an angle. He explained why it happened, showed me the rusted section, and replaced both cables rather than just the broken one.
Renee T.Pontiac garage door questions
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.
How much does garage door repair cost in Pontiac?
Small repairs such as sensor realignment, a roller swap or a limit adjustment are usually the minimum service charge. A torsion spring replacement on a standard double door is the most common job and sits in the low hundreds for a matched pair fitted. Opener repairs depend on whether it is a gear kit or a logic board. You get a flat number before we start, not an hourly rate.
Can you replace a broken garage door spring the same day in Pontiac?
Usually yes. Standard torsion springs for residential doors ride on the van, so most Pontiac 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.
Do you install new garage doors in Pontiac or only repair them?
Both. We fit insulated steel, carriage-house, glass-and-aluminium and custom doors across Pontiac, 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.
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.
Do you handle commercial garage doors in Pontiac?
Yes. We service rolling steel, sectional, high-speed and fire-rated doors for warehouses, body shops, fleet yards and retail units around Pontiac. We stock high-cycle springs and commercial operators, and we schedule around your hours where possible so the work happens before opening or after close.
