Garage Door Repair

There are many different things that can go wrong with a garage door that is used on a daily basis, several times a day. Some of these issues are normal wear and tear on a garage door and are to be expected over time, while others are malfunctions in the actual equipment that require repair.

When you have a garage door that isn’t working well or at all, it’s not something you can put off “until tomorrow.” Your garage is an extension of your home and unless you use it exclusively for storage of items you don’t use, you need fast garage door repair when a malfunction arises. Most people use their garages on a daily basis to store their cars for protection from rain, ice and other adverse weather, as well as protection from thieves. If your garage door isn’t working properly, you are putting your valuable vehicle(s) at risk for damage or theft.

Garage Door Spring Replacement

The torsion springs on a garage door are a critical component, and when they get old, worn out or loose, you can be left with a lot of problems. Garage door spring replacement isn’t something you really want to do on your own – it can be dangerous work and a single mistake can result in serious injury or more damage to your garage door. If you are experiencing problems with your garage door, professional garage door spring replacement is your best bet. Professional garage door technicians have the experience and equipment needed to replace your garage door springs quickly. You will typically pay between $150-$250 to have the springs replaced, and it will take an experienced technician between 1 ½ to 2 hours to complete the job.

Garage Door Opener Repair

We Repair Garage Door Openers In Toronoto.

If your garage door opener malfunctions, you’ll want to get it repaired immediately and sometimes even on an emergency basis depending on when the opener malfunctions and whether your car is stored in your garage at the time or not. You can expect to pay about $200-$300 for each garage door opener that is installed. You may be able to find models around $150-$175 at your local hardware supermarket, however, these are not the same models that are available with a professional garage door service company. They are less hardy than the professional models and will not last as long, and are more prone to breakage. Expect a seasoned garage door technician to spend between 2-3 hours installing each opener.

Garage Door Service

Most garage door repairs should not be completed by an inexperienced homeowner. Garage doors weigh several hundred pounds, and are under a great deal of tension. One mistake can lead to catastrophic injuries. Hiring a technician to service your garage door is often the best idea.

There are a few different types of garage door service, including emergency service, repairs and routine maintenance.

If you are in need of emergency garage door repair, a technician can provide you with fast, quality garage door service. Even if you are experienced in the repair of garage doors, you may not be able to fix the issue as quickly as necessary, whereas an on-call service technician can get your garage door working properly in a relatively short amount of time. Emergency issues might be:

A garage door that won’t open, trapping your car inside
A remote keypad that won’t work, preventing you from accessing your garage at all
A garage door that won’t close, leaving your valuables exposed

When you choose emergency garage door repair in Toronto, ask how quickly the technician will arrive and whether or not most garage door malfunctions can be repaired on site. It won’t do to have a technician arrive, only to find out that parts need to be ordered to get your door working again. An emergency technician should have a fully stocked van so that most problems can be taken care of immediately upon arrival.

Preventative maintenance is garage door service that will keep your garage in working order for as long as possible. Preventative maintenance can keep your garage door running smoothly, and can spot potential problems before they turn into full-fledged emergencies. As a home or business owner, you understand that preventative maintenance and staying ahead of problems is far cheaper than waiting until something breaks or the door malfunctions to have it fixed.

Preventative maintenance for garage doors should include:

Regular inspections of the entire system
Tighten all screws, hinges and all other door hardware
Lubricate and oil moving parts, including hinges, pulleys, rollers and springs
Ensure bottom weather seal does not have any gaps or isn’t loose
Check all other seals on the door to ensure there are no gaps and the door is properly sealed all around
Check spring tension and/or adjust springs as necessary
Ensure the garage door is balanced properly
Check springs, cables and other hardware for wear and tear or damage
Ensure that all safety features are functioning properly

Garage Door Installation

Sometimes, garage door repair is only a Band-Aid solution to a much larger problem. There are some cases in which it would be cheaper and easier to simply replace the entire garage door than to perform a variety of repairs, such as in the case of a one piece swing up door that sags in the middle when the door is in the open position. In the event that you need an entirely new garage door installed, or you need a garage door installed for the first time, you will need to consult with a professional garage door service.

A trustworthy technician isn’t going to try to sell you a new garage door if you don’t really need it, but often, replacing an old and worn out garage door with a new door and all new hardware can mean that you are free of problems for a reasonable period of time. If your garage door has seen better days, you could be stuck making repair after repair, only to have the door malfunction again. If this is a situation you are faced with, consider replacing the entire door with a newer, better working model that you won’t have to continue to make repairs to.

A professional can install your garage door in approximately five hours or so, and the cost varies depending on the type of garage door you have:

Single Tilt-Up Doors: $400-$700
Single Roll-Up Doors: $800-$1000
Custom Roll-Up Doors: $1200-$2000
Solid Wood Custom Doors: $2500-$3000

Do You Really Want To DIY?

While it is possible to repair your garage door yourself, it can be exceptionally dangerous work if you aren’t familiar with how to fix garage doors. Garage doors weigh between 100-200 lbs. depending on whether it is a wood or aluminum door, and whether it has insulation and a steel back or not. If you don’t have much experience with repairing garage doors, accidents can happen. The springs may snap and the garage door could slam to the ground, crushing anything underneath.

It can also be quite time consuming to repair your garage door on your own. This is especially true if you’re researching how to fix a particular component of the door, or trying to familiarize yourself with garage door repair in general. It usually takes significantly less time for a professional to fix a garage door than it does the owner of the property. Residential garage door repair is typically less involved than commercial repair, however, both can be very time intensive if you don’t know what you’re doing. Garage door repair in Toronto is actually very affordable in most cases, and can have your garage door working smoothly in far less time than it would take you to do on your own.

When repairing your garage door yourself, you also risk doing more harm than good. If you make a mistake or do damage to your door, you could end up paying more to fix it than you would have paid to have a technician come out and repair the original problem. In some cases, a home repair error could require the entire door to need replacing , which can be very costly. Often, it ends up being more affordable to have a technician come to your home or business to fix the garage door than it does to try to do it on your own.

Common Scams To Watch Out For

Many homeowners who need their garage door repaired or a new garage door installed will end up being the victim of a scam. Some professional garage door repair technicians maliciously attempt to scam a homeowner, while other inexperienced technicians simply do not know how to properly diagnose a garage door problem. Some common scams you need to be on the lookout for are:

Technicians who will attempt to replace parts that are in fine working order and do not need replacing
A single garage door company who operates under different names with different telephone numbers that all reach the same call center
Inflated prices for parts and labor
Technicians that take longer to complete standard repairs in order to charge more
