Opener running, door stuck down in the summer heat. Could be a stripped drive gear, a failed logic board, or a sensor knocked out of line.
Leaning door in a Shreveport pier-and-beam garage. Step back and keep everyone away from it. A door that leaves its track needs a technician before anyone goes near.
Storm-bent panel or rotted seal after a hard Shreveport summer. Dented panels and torn seals let in heat, water, and pests. We assess for repair or replacement and quote it in writing.
For every garage door repair Shreveport LA call, we provide a written quote prior to starting work on the job and work does not commence until the customer has approved the price.
These types of springs (torsion and extension) are subjected to the full weight of the door every time it opens and closes. We recommend replacing a spring and checking the condition of the drums and cables as well.
We service most door openers, and our trucks carry drive gears, logic boards, photo eyes and remotes.
If you need a door we can measure for you and order any door whether it is steel, wood or insulated and install it for you complete with hardware for the opening.
When a door is past repair, we explain your choices and quote the new door in writing.
Tune-up, lube, balance test and safety check on all moving parts.
We service rolling steel doors, sectional overhead doors and also work with high-cycle springs. The same written quote procedures and workmanship warranties apply.
Broken cables shift the full door load onto parts not rated for it. Our techs use the correct tools and tension procedures, because this is not a homeowner repair.
We supply exact replacements for the panels you already have on your door, and supply new bottom seals, which we fit, for a perfect, weather-tight closure.
Snapped torsion springs are among the most frequent garage door repair Shreveport LA calls.
The torsion spring balances the door’s weight, so the opener only moves what little is left, and when the spring breaks the door stops moving. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. Both springs on a two-spring door carry equal weight and deteriorate at about the same rate. That being said, when one does break, the other is subjected to extreme stress, and will typically fail shortly thereafter. Our techs will tell you whether replacing both makes sense for your door.
Our garage door opener repair Shreveport calls cover a wide variety of faults. Whether it’s a worn drive gear in a door, a faulty logic board not sending the correct signal, a knocked photo eye or a stuck wall button in the closed position, our experienced team can find the problem and quote the repair.
Even a lost remote control code can be covered by a call. Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener. We repair belt, chain and screw-drive openers. We stock LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie and Craftsman parts on our trucks. We can tell you if the problem is with the control board and you don’t have to replace good parts.
The cables from the drum to the bottom bracket of the door on each side can fray or break and cause the door to drop unevenly or to drop completely.
A bent or loosened track due to a collision with a vehicle or pull from a wall has the same effect. 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. Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed. Securing the door to the building is our first task before we start with any cables and tracks for the garage door repair Shreveport LA job.
A damaged door panel doesn’t have to mean you have to replace the whole door! We assess whether the door frame and tracks are still square, and if they are, we can supply and fit a single damaged panel or several to repair the door.
Only severe damage means quoting a whole new door.
A door not closing at midnight is a security risk. Don’t wait until morning to sort this out.

The summertime in Shreveport is long, and the heat can affect garage door hardware in two ways.
First, the grease in hinges and rollers thins and leaks out, leaving metal rubbing on metal. Second, the swing from July heat to January cold makes door panels expand and contract. A large portion of the older steel garage doors found on ranch style homes with brick veneer are approximately 40-60 years old. Most of these older garage doors were originally equipped with a single torsion spring. We see on a regular basis corroded spring anchors and worn out cable ends on these older garage doors. This type of failure is not random and is caused by the decades of heat that these garage doors have been exposed to in Shreveport. Humidity also matters. When warm Gulf air pushes into the Red River valley, it gets into wood door sections and bottom seals, warping panels and letting water under the door. The International Door Association publishes guidance on climate-appropriate hardware and maintenance intervals worth reading before you buy a replacement door. Garage door repair Shreveport LA calls that trace back to a failed bottom seal or a swollen wood section are often avoidable with the right seal material. Our techs flag that on every tune-up visit.
As a garage door company Shreveport homeowners call for routine service and urgent repairs alike, we know the local housing stock well.

No. The door would then be supported by parts of the opener not designed to take its full weight. The motor, trolley, cables, etc. of the opener are not substitutes for the broken spring and the door must be left in place until the spring is repaired or replaced. Using the door in this condition could cause additional damage to other parts of the opener that would then also require repair. This could end up being a larger job than necessary. Book garage door repair Shreveport LA to make the door safe.
The two springs on a two-spring door are of the same age and have cycled the same number of times. So when one of them breaks, the other spring is already under stress. It has far fewer cycles left than a new spring. Therefore, our technicians recommend both springs be replaced at the same time. Replacing both at once saves a second service call a few months later. We can go into more detail about this for your particular door.
Yes.
