How can I tell if my garage door springs are broken?

Signs of broken garage door springs include: the door won't open or is extremely heavy to lift, you hear a loud bang from the garage, the door opens unevenly or appears crooked, or visible gaps in the spring coils. Never attempt to repair springs yourself—they're under high tension and can cause serious injury.

Can you repair my garage door opener, or do I need a new one?

In many cases, we can repair your existing opener rather than replace it. Common repairs include gear replacement, circuit board repair, and sensor adjustment. However, if your opener is more than 15-20 years old or requires frequent repairs, upgrading to a new, safer, and quieter model may be more cost-effective.

What maintenance does my garage door need?

We recommend annual maintenance that includes: lubricating all moving parts, checking and adjusting spring tension, inspecting cables for wear, testing safety sensors and auto-reverse, tightening hardware, and inspecting weatherstripping. Regular maintenance extends the life of your door and prevents costly repairs.

How long does a garage door typically last?

A well-maintained garage door can last 15-30 years depending on the material and usage. Steel doors typically last 20-25 years, while wood doors may require more maintenance but can last just as long if properly cared for. The opener motor usually lasts 10-15 years.

How much does garage door repair cost in South El Monte?

How long does it take to install a new garage door?
