Something cracked hard above the door last night, and the door is right at the floor this morning. That spring was doing the lifting, and without it, the door cannot rise.
Our techs weigh the door to determine exact spring size and wire diameter for Houma’s specific housing styles, perfectly adjusting coil tension.
The drive starts and the door never moves, or nothing happens at all. A stripped gear, a dead board, or a photo eye off its mark is usually why.
Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.
One side of your door is hanging lower than the other, or the whole panel has left its track. Call us for this one and keep everyone clear.
Keep people and vehicles clear until a technician secures it. Cable realignment isn't something a homeowner can do safely.
A door stuck open at midnight is a garage door repair Houma LA call, not something to leave until morning. We answer live at any hour.
You will not be charged extra for a repair when the service has already been estimated.

Repairing an old door can be a bigger job than a new one, and that is when garage door replacement Houma makes sense.Read more
Our technicians will compare the two options for you during the garage door repair Houma LA visit and explain the costs and benefits for each. Nothing gets fixed until you have read and approved a written quote.
Our garage door service Houma visits cover tune-ups, safety inspections, roller changes, hinge tightening and weatherstripping. A written quote covers any work found during the visit, and nothing starts until you approve it.
Our techs go out to service roll-up doors and sectional doors at warehouses, loading docks and retail bays all over Houma, allowing property managers to call one number when a commercial door is not functioning properly.
The cables on a door run at enough tension to cause serious injury, so our techs replace them with the proper tools rather than leaving it to the homeowner.
We source panels that match what is already on your door, then replace the bottom seal so the door closes flush and stops letting weather through.
Torsion and extension springs have a lot of stored energy in them. They can fail with little warning.
A snapped spring is the most common reason people call us for garage door spring repair Houma. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. Operating a garage door opener with a dead spring can cause severe damage to the drive gear and trolley. What may seem like a simple change of springs can become a major repair of the opener. We change springs in matched pairs so the door stays balanced, and we stock a range of cycle ratings for the door sizes found in most Houma homes.
An opener problem can be almost anything. The motor runs but the door does not move, the door reverses just before it closes, or the remote stops working after a power surge.
It can be a stripped drive gear, a bad logic board, or a photo eye knocked out of line by a lawnmower or a child’s bicycle. Our garage door opener repair Houma techs service LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie and Craftsman openers and carry drive gears and sensors on the truck. 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 frayed or snapped cable can cause a section of door to fall. If the track becomes misshapen or pulls away from the wall, the door can get stuck or fall off.
A door that comes off track can weigh 200 pounds or more, and it can drop without warning. We realign the tracks, replace broken cables and rehang the doors which have fallen off the tracks.
Damage to one garage door panel from a car accident or a fallen tree branch does not necessarily mean the entire door must be replaced.
Depending on the age of the door and its overall condition, a garage door panel replacement may be the best solution. In the Houma area, weatherstripping and the bottom seal of garage doors wear out faster due to the high humidity, which brings us plenty of garage door repair Houma LA calls in summer. A torn seal allows water, insects and heat to enter the garage.
A door that will not close at 11 p.m. is a security issue, and a spring that snaps at 6 a.m. is a property manager’s worst nightmare.
Our 24/7 dispatcher answers all emergency garage door repair Houma calls, at 3 a.m. or 3 p.m. We will agree on a 2 hour arrival window before your call ends and we will text you when we are on our way to your address.
URGENT

Houma sits in the heart of Terrebonne Parish, not far from the Gulf. With salt air and high humidity being the norm, the steel springs, cables and track hardware used in residential steel doors will rust and deteriorate faster than their landlocked counterparts.
The International Door Association publishes maintenance guidance for residential doors, and doors this close to the Gulf need it more often. In many homes here, springs corrode well before they reach their rated cycle count, and a bottom seal can crack open after a single bad storm season.
Much of Houma’s single-family housing went up in the 1970s and 1980s, and many of those homes still run single-car steel doors on their original hardware, often with openers older than today’s UL safety standards.Read more

That takes in the older parts of Houma and communities such as Schriever, Gray, Bourg, Chauvin, Montegut, Dulac and Theriot. If you are not sure we reach your street, call and the dispatcher will check.

Tensioned springs contain a lot of energy that can cause serious harm. Special tools are required to safely wind up or unwind springs. These tools are not normally found in the household and even with the correct tools, there is potential for harm if the wire gauge, wind count or tension is incorrect. All work with tensioned springs is best left to a trained technician as the potential risks to DIY’ing the repair far outweigh the cost of calling someone in.
Both. A garage door repair Houma LA call is as likely to be about the opener as about a spring or cable, and we repair drive gears, logic boards, safety sensors, remote receivers and wall-button wiring. In some cases, it’s just easier to replace the entire opener rather than repair it. We service the opener brands found on Houma homes, including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie and Craftsman.
Yes. For garage door installation Houma jobs, our tech comes out, measures the opening and goes over the style, material and insulation you want. We can do steel doors, carriage-house style doors, and insulated doors. The type of door you go with will depend upon the amount of humidity and heat that the door is exposed to. Nothing gets ordered or installed until you have seen and approved a written quote with the full price listed out.
Yes. We can assess wind-racked frames, water penetration behind panels and any impact damage after a Gulf storm to decide whether to repair or replace the door. Sometimes a single panel is enough, and sometimes the storm has shifted the whole door and it needs replacing. The written quote comes before any work starts.
That’s one of the most common garage door repair Houma LA calls we get. Our techs check the usual causes in order: a broken torsion or extension spring, a snapped or frayed cable, a photo eye that’s blocked or out of alignment, a stripped drive gear, or a dead remote or wall button. Most get sorted on the first visit, because the truck already carries the likely parts.
