Garage door repair
Springs, cables, rollers, tracks and openers, repaired across Richmond, Vancouver, Burnaby, the North Shore and the Fraser Valley.
Usually a broken torsion spring. You often hear the bang from the garage the night before.
Worn cables or a spring that has lost tension. Stop using the door - this one is a safety issue.
Rollers or bearings past their life. Cheap now, expensive once the track is damaged.
A stripped gear or a disengaged trolley. Usually a same-visit repair.
Misaligned safety sensors, or a force setting that has drifted.
Almost always overdue maintenance. A service now buys years.
Every van carries torsion springs in the common sizes, cables, rollers, bearings, hinges, safety sensors and LiftMaster openers. That is why most repairs finish on the first visit instead of turning into a second appointment.

What can I expect from a service call?We bring our store to your door and can fix 90% of all garage door problems on the spot. On a service call we do not just deal with the fault you rang about - the rollers need changing, the door may need lubrication, and all hardware should be checked for wear and tear. A door should be serviced once every year or two.
We repair all different varieties and brands from Stanley, LiftMaster, Genie, Overhead and more. If the machine is 15 to 20 years plus, we will often recommend updating and replacing the system rather than spending your money twice - but that is a recommendation, not a condition of us coming out.
You talk to Angie or Jim, not a call centre. Tell us what the door is doing.
We find the actual fault and explain it in plain language, before anything is touched.
A clear number up front. No work starts until you say so.

Yes. A torsion spring holds enormous tension and an extension spring can travel across a garage when it fails. Do not try to replace one yourself.
Every job is guaranteed, on top of the manufacturer warranties on parts.
All of them. We repair all different varieties and brands from Stanley, LiftMaster, Genie, Overhead and more. We supply Clopay doors and LiftMaster openers, but we repair whatever is already on your garage.
Yes - our trucks are fully equipped to deal with almost any garage door issue you are having, including a new opener installation. On special occasions we may need to re-schedule.
Most repairs can be done within one hour. A new garage door opener takes about two hours. Spring changes take about one hour.
Sometimes you just need to replace the battery, but if there is a hardware failure, we will replace it with a new remote.
On a wood door, keep an eye on the paint or stain - once water starts penetrating the wood, the damage is done. On a steel door, keep the moving parts lubricated. Either way it should be serviced once every year or two, and all the hardware checked for wear and tear.
We bring our store to your door and can fix 90% of all garage door problems on the spot. We diagnose the fault on site, tell you the price before anything is touched, and carry out the twelve point check while we are there.
This most often indicates a blown capacitor. Stop using the opener and give us a call - it is usually repairable.
Check the manual release to ensure the motor is connected to the operator arm. If the trolley has been disengaged, the motor will run happily without moving the door.
