All new door prices include removal and disposal of old door, installation, hardware, and weatherstripping.
Heavier doors require stronger springs, thicker cables, and more robust hardware. A single-car door costs less to repair than a double-car or oversized door.
We use commercial-grade parts — not the cheapest option at the supply house. Our springs, cables, and rollers last significantly longer, which means lower cost over time.
Springs, cables, and drums wear together. When one fails, the others are often close behind. Addressing all worn components in one visit saves you a second service call.
Our temperature extremes — below freezing in winter, 100°F+ in summer — cause more thermal cycling than moderate climates. This accelerates metal fatigue and corrosion, especially on springs and cables.
Every job gets three options. We never pressure you into the most expensive repair. The "Good" option fixes the immediate problem. "Better" addresses related wear. "Best" is the full system rebuild with the longest warranty. You choose — we execute.
We also give you a straight repair vs. replacement comparison whenever it's relevant. If repairing a 20-year-old opener costs 75% of a new one, we'll tell you — and let you decide.

Parts quality is the biggest variable. We use commercial-grade springs, aircraft-grade cables, and sealed nylon rollers that cost more upfront but last significantly longer. Cheap parts mean repeat service calls. We also back every repair with a 3-year parts warranty — most competitors offer 90 days or less.

Homeowners insurance typically covers damage from storms, vehicle impact, and vandalism — minus your deductible. It generally doesn't cover normal wear and tear (spring failure, worn rollers). We provide detailed estimates with photos for insurance claims.
