What counts as an emergency

Anything that leaves the home unsecure (door stuck open, broken latch, damaged panel that won’t close), anything that traps a vehicle inside, and any situation where someone could be hurt by a door under tension. Call the main line and we’ll dispatch the closest available technician.

What we can usually fix tonight

Broken springs, snapped cables, off-track doors, opener failures, and damaged bottom panels can usually be addressed same-evening. Severe panel damage may need a temporary secure-the-opening fix tonight followed by a panel order and second visit.

Frequently asked questions

Do you charge extra for after-hours calls?

There is an after-hours rate on true after-hours emergencies. We tell you the rate before we dispatch - no surprises.

My door won’t close - is it the photo eye sensors?

Most of the time, yes. The two small sensors near the floor on each side have to see each other. Wipe the lenses, check that both are solid (not blinking), and re-align them so they’re level. If the door still won’t close, call us.

Can you secure my home tonight if you can’t fix it tonight?

Yes. If a part has to be ordered, we will get the door closed and locked tonight so the home is secure until the second visit.

Had a problem with our opener rail and another broken hinge. Great service with nice workmen who serviced the whole door too. Very happy.

Kyle, Ginger and Drew were all fantastic. They were so professional, detailed and responsive. Drew's installation was so seamless. I got to watch him at various stages of the garage door installation.
