We provide a written estimate before any work starts.
When a door has reached the end of its life we show you the steel, insulated or composite door types that will fit your opening and what is involved for each type before any work is commenced.
Our safety inspection for homeowners and property managers covers the whole door and opener: worn rollers, springs, cables, hardware and malfunctioning safety sensors.
A commercial door down means work stops. We send a technician to your Colesville site and get roll-up and sectional doors back in service for property managers and businesses.
If the cables on your door are worn or broken, the door can fall. Our trucks are fully stocked with cables and drums for most sizes of doors.
Why replace the entire door when one panel is damaged? We make every effort to supply like panels from stock for like doors.
A snapped torsion spring is the single most common reason a door goes completely dead. The spring does the heavy lifting, counterbalancing the door so the opener motor doesn’t burn itself out.
When it goes, you’ll usually hear it, a loud bang from inside the garage, and then nothing moves. Garage door repair Colesville MD calls for spring work come in all week long, especially after a hard overnight freeze when metal has contracted and old springs are already near their limit. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. Time to replace those old torsion or extension springs, rebalance the door and check the cable tension.
Many times, after checking the drive gear, logic board, photo eyes and safety reverse, we find the fault in one of those parts rather than the whole opener.

The cables attached to the drum run straight down to the bottom bracket of the door, enabling it to move in a straight line.
Frayed cables are just one hard use away from breaking, and when they do, the door can fall quickly and heavily. 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. When power is lost to your opener and you must disconnect it by hand, the sequence of steps is critical. Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed. Tasks for track realignment and cable replacement are typically done on the initial garage door repair Colesville MD service call and do not require a return visit.
Accidents, bike racks, or a freak Colesville hail storm can cause a panel to get dinged or crack.
But a single panel does not have to mean the entire door needs to be replaced. Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.
A door that won’t shut at midnight is a problem that won’t wait until morning, for a homeowner or for a property manager with a waiting tenant.

Colesville is a town in Montgomery County, Maryland. The weather here can be very hot and humid during the summer months and cold during the winter months.
Our service technicians see many cases of corroded torsion springs and stiff door rollers that have not been lubricated since the door was first installed. In many cases, these doors have been running dry for 20 years or more. The housing stock in Colesville consists mainly of older colonials and split-level homes constructed between 1960 and 1990. Many of these homes were originally equipped with torsion spring door systems and either single piece steel doors or very early model sectional steel doors that were never upgraded. When we get a garage door repair Colesville MD call from these homes, it is usually for a full torsion spring change or opener upgrade as the original hardware has reached the end of its life cycle.
