What this service covers
Real work by background-checked local technicians, quoted at a flat rate you approve before anything begins.
Springs
The parts that lift the door and the most common thing we replace, always as a matched set.
Cables and drums
Frayed, snapped or off-drum cables, replaced in pairs so the door lifts evenly.
Rollers and hinges
Worn rollers and cracked hinges cause grinding, popping and a jerky door.
Tracks
Bent or loose tracks straightened, re-secured or replaced so the door runs true.
Panels and sections
A damaged section replaced without replacing the whole door when that is the right call.
Opener check
We confirm the opener is not masking a door problem, or being blamed for one.
Situations we fix every week
- Wood overhead garage door sticking or swollen?Wood takes up moisture and swells, so the door gets tighter and heavier. Often it is a seal or paint problem, but the added weight also throws off the spring balance. Do not force it or adjust springs.How we fix it
- Overhead garage door will not stay up?A door that cannot hold itself halfway open is out of balance. Springs or cables are the usual cause, and they should not be adjusted by hand.How we fix it
- Overhead garage door drags on one side?A door that drags or rubs on one side is usually binding in the track or hanging from a cable that has loosened. Stop using it before it twists or jumps the track.How we fix it
Signs your overhead door needs repair
A loud bang, then a door that will not lift
The door goes up crooked, or one side is higher than the other
Grinding, popping or scraping as it moves

The door is off its track
What our overhead door repair records show
Our shop is in Lakewood, so Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, Golden and west Denver are minutes away. We have made 650 repair visits in Lakewood since 2017 and 279 in Denver since 2018. These are the patterns in our job records.
Springs come first. Springs are our most common repair, with about 1,000 spring jobs on record. A door that bangs, then will not lift, is very often a broken spring.
Rollers and cables follow. We have 117 roller jobs and 55 cable repairs on record. Grinding, popping or a door that lifts crooked usually points to one of them.
The door before the opener. A heavy or unbalanced door makes the opener strain, so we check the springs, cables and tracks before blaming the opener.
What affects the price of an overhead door repair
The price depends on what failed, and we quote it after we find the fault, not before.
The part. Adjusting a track or replacing a few rollers is a smaller job. A pair of springs, a pair of cables or a damaged section is a bigger one.
The door. Its size, weight and type, and whether parts for it are still made, decide what the repair needs.
Related damage. A snapped spring can fray a cable or bend a track, and those are fixed in the same visit so the door runs safely.
The estimate is free, and you approve one flat price before any work starts. See spring repair and track repair for those jobs on their own, and our free rollers with a repair offer. How much does it cost to fix or change an overhead garage door? It depends on what failed and whether the door is worth repairing. A track adjustment or a set of rollers is a smaller job than a pair of springs, a pair of cables or a damaged section, and a new door depends on its size, insulation and style. We do not guess a figure over the phone: the estimate is free, and you approve one flat price before any work starts. If a new door is the better value, we say so and quote that too.
