Garage Door Services in Walnut Creek

Most garage door problems can be diagnosed and repaired the same day.

Spring Repair and Replacement

We replace broken torsion and extension springs the same day. If you heard a loud bang and your door suddenly stops working, that's most likely the cause and one of the most common repairs we do. If your door has two springs, we replace both because when one breaks, the other is usually close behind.

Garage Door Opener Repair & Replacement

We repair all major brands and replace failed openers when repair isn't worth it. If your door is running but not moving, making grinding noises, or reversing before it closes, the opener is usually the cause. As a licensed LiftMaster dealer, that's what we install when a replacement is needed.

New Garage Door Installation

We install new garage doors from start to finish, door, springs, and opener configured together. If your current door is damaged beyond repair or you're simply ready for an upgrade, as a licensed Wayne Dalton dealer we'll make sure everything is properly fitted and code-compliant.

Garage Door Remote Repair & Replacement

We repair, replace, and reprogram garage door remotes, keypads, and receivers. If your remote stopped working and changing the batteries didn't fix it, the issue is usually with the remote itself or the receiver on the opener.

Common Garage Door Problems We Fix

Most issues are diagnosed and repaired same day. Call Larry and he will tell you exactly what is going on.

✓
Broken Motor Opener running but door not moving, making grinding or clicking noises, or motor not engaging.
✓
Failed Rollers Worn or cracked rollers cause rough, noisy operation and can lead to the door coming off its tracks.
✓
Damaged Panels Damaged panels can often be replaced individually without replacing the whole door. Note: replacing the top panel requires a battery backup opener under California law.
✓
Loose Cables Cables that have slipped or snapped cause the door to hang unevenly or drop suddenly on one side.
✓
Bent Tracks Bent or misaligned tracks cause the door to bind, stick, or come off its rollers. The vibration can also interfere with the sensors even when they look perfectly aligned.
✓
Cracked Hinges Broken hinges cause sections to separate and prevent the door from folding and moving properly.
✓
Noisy Doors Grinding, squeaking, or rattling usually means worn rollers, loose hardware, or springs that need lubrication.
✓
Maintenance Larry does a full inspection and tune-up on every service call at no extra charge. If something needs attention, he takes care of it while he is there.
✓
Door Off Track A door that has jumped its tracks can be dangerous to reset without knowing what to look for. Call Larry first and he can walk you through the steps or come out if needed.
