Is it OK for me to attempt a garage door repair on my own?
For small things, sure, go ahead. But we do not recommend it for anything involving the springs — they hold heavy tension and can be genuinely dangerous, and a mistake can let the door fall, causing serious injury or far more damage than you started with. That is one repair best left to a professional every time. Call (510) 340-9295✦✦✦.
What is the risk in fixing a garage door spring myself?
Springs hold an enormous amount of tension, and replacing one safely takes real, hands-on training — our own technicians train for months before we trust them to handle a spring replacement solo. A single mistake can bring the door down and cause serious injury. It is just not a job to take on yourself.
Should kids or pets be allowed near a moving garage door?
No — a garage door in motion is genuinely dangerous, and that goes for kids and pets alike. Nobody should be near it or touching it while it is opening or closing.
My garage door isn't reversing when it hits something — what do I do?
Press the wall button or the remote again — that should send it back up. If it does not reverse, stop trying to force it and call (510) 340-9295✦✦✦ right away.
Is there a warranty on a new garage door or opener?
Yes — new doors and openers come with a manufacturer's warranty, usually somewhere between 1 and 5 years depending on the brand. On top of that, we offer extended warranty coverage, including a lifetime option, along with free maintenance and free service calls through our membership program. Call (510) 340-9295✦✦✦ for the details.
What happens if my opener is still covered by the manufacturer's warranty?
We reach out to the manufacturer on your behalf to get the warranty claim processed, and we take care of the installation for you.
