Our techs source a matching panel for what is already on your door, then fit a new bottom seal so the door closes flush and keeps weather out.
The torsion spring is mounted across the top of the door header while the extension springs run along the top of the tracks on each side.
As both types of springs are under great stress, they can break with no warning and a loud noise similar to a rifle shot. Replacing a broken spring is not a weekend job. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. We usually recommend replacing two springs at the same time on a two-spring door. Although the second spring may look fine, it is usually the same age as the first spring and will fail in a few months. It’s better to replace both springs now rather than risk a second garage door repair Roanoke VA service call in a few months.

When troubleshooting a problem with grinding chain drive operators, we work step by step: wall button, photo eye, logic board, drive gear, trolley, and antenna. A grinding chain drive often just needs a new drive gear to run for years. On older hardware that cannot pair reliably, a garage door repair Roanoke VA opener call may include a smart-opener retrofit, remote programming or a new keypad.
The cables that run around the drums at the ends of the torsion spring shaft take the weight of the door as it opens and closes.
If a cable starts to fray or breaks the door will fall to one side or get stuck against the track. A heavy door like this should only be moved by a technician. Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed. Bent or broken track, from a collision for example, gets straightened or replaced before the cable work begins. 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.
One buckled or cracked panel does not have to mean you have to replace the entire door. We match the profile and finish of your current panels wherever the manufacturer still makes them.
Garage door panel replacement Roanoke is the sensible fix for one or two sections. When damage runs across several sections or the frame has shifted, a new door usually makes more sense. Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.

The climate in Roanoke, situated in the valley between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains, brings in cold air in the winter and holds humidity through the summer months.
By mid-summer our technicians see the wear, and the rust on rollers and other hardware. Even the typical bottom seal of a door can begin to crack and peel away from the door frame over the course of a decade as it is cycled open and shut. The International Door Association covers this kind of seasonal wear in its maintenance guidance. Many of the homes in old housing stock throughout Roanoke are brick ranch homes and older Colonial-style builds with two-car garages attached.

A garage door repair Roanoke VA visit on these older doors usually turns up worn drums, brittle cable and springs cycled to exhaustion.

Keep the door as it is and switch the opener off at the wall. After a spring breaks, running the opener can put extra strain on the motor as well as potentially damage the trolley or even a panel. All people should therefore keep clear of the door until we arrive to complete the repair. Attempting to open the door can lead to further problems!
A number of problems with doors closing with a grinding, banging or squealing sound are caused by dry rollers, worn hinges, loose track hardware or an unbalanced door. Since Roanoke is in an extremely humid climate, roller bearings will wear and create a grinding noise.

Most of it lands on the hardware, not the panels. Humid summers and hard freezes test the seals, springs and fasteners, so on every garage door repair Roanoke VA call our technicians check the springs, cables, roller bearings and bottom seal. It is often easier to replace a corroded fastener or a stiff roller before failure than to fix the resulting damage.
On a two-spring door the second spring will typically have had the same wear history as the spring that broke. Therefore it is generally recommended to replace both springs at the same time as one service call now is typically less disruptive than risking a second service call in a few months time when the remaining spring eventually fails.
Stuck doors don’t fix themselves overnight. Century Garage Door Repair Service takes calls from across the Roanoke area 24/7, and a live person answers (833) 435-4540. Whatever the problem, you get a written estimate and approve it before work starts.
