What does a spring replacement cost?
Spring replacement starts from $150 per spring on our current price list. Two-spring doors usually get both springs changed. The exact price for your door is agreed on site before we start. Read about spring repair →
Is there a charge just to come out and look?
The diagnostic service call costs $0 when you go ahead with the repair. You get a price on site and decide before any work is done. See what a repair visit covers →
My door got heavy after a loud bang. What happened?
That is the classic sign of a broken spring. The spring carries the weight of the door, so leave the door closed, do not keep pressing the opener button, and call us. Spring repair details →
Which opener and door brands do you work on?
We service the brands most common in South Florida garages, among them LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie and Linear openers and Clopay, Amarr, Raynor and CHI doors. Opener repair →
Is a battery backup worth adding in Miami?
Summer thunderstorms and hurricane season both cause outages. A battery backup lets the opener run a few cycles without power, so you are not stuck pulling the release cord in the rain. Opener installation →
Can any new garage door go on a Miami-Dade house?
No. Miami-Dade County is in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so a replacement door needs a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, and it has to be installed the way that approval specifies. Your town may also require a permit. New door installation →
My door is hanging crooked. Should I run the opener?
No. Unplug the opener, keep people and pets away, and do not try to force the door back. A derailed door can drop without warning. Off-track door repair →
One cable looks frayed. How urgent is that?
Treat it as urgent. A frayed lift cable can snap under load, and then the door drops on one side. Stop using the door until the cable is replaced. Cable repair →
Why is my door so loud?
Worn rollers and loose hinges cause most of the squeals and shudders. Sealed ball-bearing rollers usually quiet things down, and we check the track while we are there. Roller replacement →
Do you answer the phone at night and on weekends?
Yes. The line is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and a person picks up. Emergency repair →
