What you are hearing
The most common garage door repairs in Madison
-
A bang, then the door will not lift
A torsion spring broke. Do not run the opener again and do not lift it by hand. We replace both springs. See garage door spring repair.
-
Door is crooked or one side dropped
A cable snapped or came off the drum. Leave the door where it is and call. See garage door cable repair.
-
Rollers came out of the track
The door got bumped or a roller wore through. Keep people away from it. See off-track garage door repair.
-
Bottom panel bent or folded
Usually the door was frozen to the slab and the opener pulled anyway, or someone backed into it. We replace the section if the panel is still made, and give you a straight answer on replacement if it is not.
-
Grinding, squealing, or shaking on the way up
Dry rollers, worn hinges, or a bent track. It is cheap to fix now and expensive to ignore. We replace the worn parts and lubricate the rest.
-
Door will not close, or closes and reopens
Almost always the photo eyes near the floor, blocked, dirty, or knocked out of line. If the eyes are fine, it is the travel limits or the opener. See garage door opener repair.
-
Stuck open or stuck shut right now
Door open to the street, or the car trapped inside. We answer 24 hours, nights and weekends, and go to those calls first.
How it goes
Look, quote, fix, test
The tech looks at the whole door, not just the part that made the noise. You get the problem, the fix, and the price before anything starts. Then the repair, a balance check, lubrication, and a few full cycles with the opener to make sure it runs clean. You are told what else is wearing so you are not surprised next winter.
Where we repair
Madison, Monona, Sun Prairie, Middleton, and everywhere between
A lot of our repair work is on the 1950s and 60s ranches in Midvale Heights, Westmorland, Monona, and Sun Prairie, where the door and the hardware are original. The detached garages in Nakoma and Vilas have older single-car doors that need custom parts, and we carry them. In Fitchburg and Verona, the builder-grade doors from the mid-1990s are hitting the age where everything wears out together.
Property managers near campus call us for fast fixes between tenants. We show up, fix the door, and send an invoice that makes sense.
Questions we get on the phone
Garage door repair questions
-
How much does it cost to fix a garage door?
It depends on the part. We confirm the price at the door before any work starts, and you can say no.
-
Do you come out the same day?
Yes, across Madison and Dane County. Stuck-open and stuck-shut doors go first. Call and we give you a window.
-
Should I repair or replace the door?
If it is one worn part on a sound door, repair. If the panels are rusted through or cracked and it is on its third spring, replacement is the honest answer, and we will say which. See new garage door installation.
-
Do you work nights and weekends?
Yes. The number rings a person 24 hours a day and trucks run from Madison at any hour.
