Work order

What's going on with your garage door?

Tick what applies. It rides along on your estimate request.

What we fix. What we install.

One local crew out of Dover handles both, from a snapped spring on a Tuesday morning to a full set of new doors on a new build.

Repair

  • Spring repair

    Torsion and extension springs

    Springs carry the door's weight. When one breaks, often with a loud bang, the door won't lift. We replace it and rebalance the door.

  • Cable repair

    Lift cables, drums, bottom brackets

    A frayed or snapped cable leaves the door hanging crooked. We replace the cable, reseat it on its drum, and check what wore it out.

  • Opener repair

    Motors, sensors, remotes, keypads

    Opener humming but the door won't move? Remote quit, or the door reverses for no reason? We track down the fault and fix it.

  • Off-track repair

    Tracks, rollers, hinges, struts

    A door that's crooked, jammed or off its track is dangerous to force. We set it back on track and replace the bent or worn parts.

We'd rather be direct and honest.

Not every garage door company works the same way. Some hide fees, some give vague answers, and some never explain what you're paying for. We aim for great service, fair pricing, and technicians who care about doing the job right.

More questions and answers

Should I repair or replace my garage door?

If the door has minor damage or one failing part, a repair may be all you need. For older doors, heavy damage, problems that keep coming back, or a full style upgrade, replacement is usually the better long-term investment. We'll tell you plainly which one makes sense for your door.

How much does a new garage door cost?

It depends on size, style, materials, insulation and customization. We carry options for a range of budgets, and the estimate is free: we'll measure the opening, talk through what you like, and give you a price for that door.

Can I customize the color, windows, hardware and design?

Yes. There's a wide range of colors, finishes, window designs, decorative hardware and door styles, from raised panel and flush steel to carriage-house designs and wood-look finishes, so your garage door suits your home.

Are insulated garage doors worth it?

Usually, yes. Insulated doors can improve energy efficiency, cut outside noise, and make a stronger, more durable door. They're especially worth it on attached garages and on garages used as workshops, gyms or living space. Haas rates its insulated doors by tested U-factor, where a lower number means less heat lost, and its best-insulated residential door tests at 0.081.

Do you repair and service existing garage doors?

Yes. Besides installing new doors, we repair and service existing ones: broken torsion and extension springs, frayed or snapped cables, openers that hum but won't lift, doors that are off their track or won't close, worn rollers, and bottom seals that let water and cold air in.

Do you give free estimates?

Yes. Estimates for new garage doors are free, and we offer them next-day. We'll look at the opening, talk through styles, insulation and options, and give you a price for the door you actually want. Call (302) 735-0046 or send the estimate form and we'll set up a time.
