Garage Door Cable Repair
A frayed or snapped garage door cable can drop a door, jam it crooked, or leave it stuck. G Brothers repairs and replaces garage door cables, usually the same day, at a flat rate you approve before we start. Because cables and springs work as a system, we check both so the fix lasts.

What this service covers
Real work by background-checked local technicians, quoted at a flat rate you approve before anything begins.
Cable replacement in pairs
We replace lift cables as a matched set so tension stays even and the door tracks straight.
Drum and spring check
A cable that jumped the drum often points to a spring or balance issue, so we inspect the whole counterbalance.
Safety inspection
We confirm cable routing, drum seating, and bottom-bracket condition before we hand the door back.
Signs you need cable repair
A cable hanging loose, frayed, or wound off the drum
The door is crooked, one side higher than the other
The door slammed down or will not lift evenly
Visible rust or kinks on the lift cables
