New door needed? The Garage door installation Lexington MA call can include measuring for new doors, selecting styles and levels of insulation to suit the house and giving a written price before placing the order for the new door(s).
When repair is not an option, we quote a replacement door in writing.

We stock rolls and parts for both roll-up and sectional doors. Our trucks travel to your location once to restock your site.
Damaged cables and tracks cause problems with door operation, so we inspect every cable and track in the system and repair the parts that have failed.
We pull the damaged panels, fit matching replacements, and install a fresh bottom seal so the door closes flush and weather stays out.
That sharp crack that rattles through the whole house is almost always a torsion spring letting go. The door drops to wherever it was when the spring broke, and it's staying there until a tech replaces it.Read more
Pressing the opener button anyway or grabbing the bottom of the door to pull it up by hand are both bad ideas, and Lexington homeowners do both more often than you'd think. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. Torsion springs sit on the bar directly above the door opening, and extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on either side. On every garage door repair Lexington MA spring call, the tech also checks the cable drums and the end bearing plates, because a failed spring puts stress on those parts too and a second failure shortly after the first is worth avoiding.
Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door exactly where it is and call a technician immediately.
The opener is what most people in Lexington think of first because it's the part they touch every single day.Read more
We work on LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, and most other brands you'll find in a Lexington garage.
Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.
The lift cables run from the bottom bracket on each side of the door up to the cable drums mounted above. When a cable frays or snaps, the door loses its balance and one side drops.Read more
One of the more common reasons cables fail prematurely is that the emergency release cord gets pulled while the door is in motion or stuck partway up. Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. A bent or separated track creates a different kind of problem. The rollers lose their path and the door can bind, shudder, or come off entirely. On every off-track garage door repair Lexington MA call, the tech inspects the full length of both tracks and checks every roller before anything gets moved. 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.
A cracked or caved panel affects more than how the door looks from the street. On an insulated door, a damaged section breaks the thermal barrier and lets Lexington winters work their way into the garage.Read more
Replacing one or two panels can save pulling the whole door. The bottom seal gets checked on every visit too, because a rotted seal at the floor is one of the fastest ways cold air, water, and rodents find their way in. 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 comes off track can weigh 200+ pounds and can drop without warning. Keep people and vehicles clear.

The harsh Lexington weather in the winter can cause severe damage to your garage door hardware.

It is best to have the door looked at before the first hard freeze and after big storms, when most garage door problems surface. The International Door Association publishes general door maintenance guidance. Lexington housing stock includes a large amount of homes built as colonials and split-levels in the 1950s through the 1980s.

Step one is to leave the door exactly where it stopped. Don’t press the opener button again, don’t try to lift the door by hand, and don’t run anything through the opening until the tech arrives.
