Every garage door repair Scranton PA call starts with the tech looking at the door, and the price goes on paper before any work. Need one garage door company Scranton homeowners and property managers can call for all of it? That is us.
Torsion or extension springs carry your door's weight, so when one breaks the door will not move until it is replaced. We stock the common sizes, so most spring replacements finish in one visit.
Opener hums but won't lift, or the drive gear or logic board has failed? We service LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman and other openers.
A complete new door made from steel panels or an insulated door like the Carriage-House style door can be fully installed by your technician. The door is measured up for your opening and installed for you.
Panel damage, such as a crack in a panel or a bent frame that cannot be repaired, will need a new panel or a new door. The cost goes on the work order, and no work proceeds until you approve it.
We recommend an annual door tune-up to check for wear of the springs, rollers, hinges and cables as well as the garage door opener.Read more
It only takes a small problem with any of these parts to leave you stranded. Your technician will show you what he finds and provide a written estimate before he begins any work.

Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door exactly where it is and call a technician immediately.
Plenty of problems blamed on the opener turn out to be something else: a photo eye knocked out of line by a falling bag, a worn spring or a stripped drive gear. We find out the real problem on every garage door repair Scranton PA call. If the motor has burned out or the logic board has failed, we can replace the opener.Read more
Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.
Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.
Lift cables wind onto the spring drums as the door rises, carrying the spring tension to the door. Sometimes a worn or broken cable can cause a door to fall to one side.Read more

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. Whether a bent rail, a broken cable or a bump from the car threw it off, do not try to put it back yourself.
