How to choose garage door companies
- 1
Leave springs to a pro
Garage door springs hold a lot of tension. A spring that slips can cause serious injury, so this is one repair not to try yourself.
- 2
Ask for the price before they start
Get the diagnosis and the total, parts and labor, before the tech begins. A trip fee is normal; a surprise bill isn't.
- 3
Ask about parts quality
Springs come rated for different numbers of cycles. Higher-cycle springs cost a bit more and last longer.
- 4
Watch for upsell pressure
A broken spring doesn't mean you need a new door. If someone pushes a full replacement, get a second opinion.
FAQ
Questions about garage door companies
Why won't my garage door open?
Common causes are a broken spring, a blocked or misaligned safety sensor, a dead remote battery or an opener problem. If the spring is broken, don't keep trying the opener.
Repair or replace a garage door?
Most problems are a single part and worth repairing. Replace the door when panels are badly damaged or you want better insulation or a new look.
How long do garage door springs last?
It depends on the spring's cycle rating and how often you use the door. Doors used many times a day wear springs out faster.
Should I replace both springs at once?
Often, yes. On doors with two springs, the second is usually close to failing when the first breaks.
Does it cost anything to use Job Hound?
No. Job Hound is free for homeowners, and pros never pay for leads, so there is no lead fee baked into the price you are quoted.
