A broken torsion spring or a broken extension spring is the most common cause of a stuck or dead door. Our trucks carry most torsion and extension spring sizes, so most spring repairs finish on the first visit.
If the motor grinds, the logic board has failed or the remote signal is fading, our technician fixes it at your home. We stock most drive gears and circuit boards.
New construction, a worn-out door, or an upgrade to an insulated door. Our techs measure, write the quote and install the new door.
When the damage runs past a single panel or section, or the door is badly warped, a full replacement is often the better option. Your technician puts the cost on paper first and waits for your answer.
Regular maintenance catches worn rollers, loose hardware and weak springs before they turn into a breakdown. All work is detailed in writing before it starts.
Property managers with rental units or a commercial site get our technicians and a written quote for every job.
When a cable frays or breaks, the weight of the door shifts to hardware that was not rated to hold that much weight alone. Our technicians arrive with the proper tools to re-tension the cable correctly.
Cracked or dented panels get replaced with sections matched to your existing door, and we swap in a new bottom seal so the door closes flush again.
A torsion spring is mounted to the top of the garage door header while an extension spring is mounted on the sides of the garage door.Read more
Either kind can fail with little warning, and you will hear a sharp crack or a loud thud. It is the most common garage door repair Silver Spring md call we get, and not a repair for a homeowner to attempt. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. We stock the common spring sizes for mid-century and postwar homes. We set the spring to the correct tension and cycle test the door to make sure it is working properly.
Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door exactly where it is and call a technician immediately.
Many garage door repair Silver Spring md calls are openers that run while the door stays put.Read more
These cases typically reveal a stripped drive gear, a dead photo eye or a damaged logic board that has lost its programming. We repair LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman and most other major brands, and our trucks carry drive gears and photo eyes. If an opener is past saving, we can install a new one.
Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.
The cables from the bottom bracket of the door run up to the drum and are kept evenly tensioned on both sides. If a cable is frayed or breaks, one side of the door will drop.Read more
If a door leaves its track, it will drop too. A door that comes off track can weigh 200 pounds or more, and it can drop without warning. Keep people and vehicles clear until a technician secures it. Pull it only when the door is fully closed. In winter, a door frozen to the slab and then forced can bend its track. We see it most in January and February, and we fix it by straightening or replacing the bent section and rehanging the cables. Our trucks carry track sections, so most of these finish on the first visit.
One damaged panel does not always mean a new door. If the rest of the door is sound and the manufacturer still makes that panel, we replace like with like. Ice and road salt wear down weather seals, bottom strips and side stops, and replacing a blown seal keeps the garage floor dry. A word on DIY Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner.Read more
The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener. Anything else on the door that looks loose or worn, our technician will check on the visit.
⚠️ A door that comes off track can weigh 200+ pounds and can drop without warning. Keep people and vehicles clear.

Then, when someone tries to open the door, the track can bend and the cable can snap at the same moment. Freeze-thaw damage to tracks and seals is a common reason for garage door repair Silver Spring md calls all winter. The humid summers wear out roller bearings and hinges faster too. The International Door Association publishes maintenance guidance worth bookmarking. The housing stock spans decades, and homes from the 1950s through the 1970s are typically detached single-family houses. Originally they had one-piece tilt-up garage doors, which were later replaced by sectional doors. Many of these older doors still have the original hardware on them. On these homes our technicians often find springs and cables that have never been serviced. The newer townhouses on the east side often have low-headroom doors whose springs need special sizing and adjustment.

No. A loaded spring holds a tremendous amount of force, and releasing it takes training, the right tools and precise measurements.

Often yes. When the rest of the door is structurally sound and the panel is still being manufactured, a single-panel swap is the right call.
