Garage Door Repair

A residential garage door may need repair for a variety of reasons. Here are some of the most common causes:

    • Broken Springs: The springs that help lift and lower the door can wear out over time and eventually break. When this happens, the door becomes hard to open and may get stuck.
    • Malfunctioning Opener: The opener controls how the door opens and closes. If it’s not working properly, the door might not open or close correctly or move slightly. See more about garage door opener repair services.

The garage door track can get damaged, and the roller can wear out.
  • Damaged Tracks: The tracks that guide the garage door as it opens and closes can get damaged. This can make the door move unevenly or get stuck.
  • Worn-Out Rollers: The rollers that help move the door along the tracks can wear out. When this happens, the door might move unevenly or even get stuck.
  • Damaged Panels: Sometimes, the door panels get damaged from things hitting them. This can make the door not close properly or become misaligned.
  • Loose Hardware: The hardware that holds the door together can become loose over time. This can make the door move unevenly or hard to open and close.

Extend the Life of your Overhead Door

Regular maintenance can help prevent some of these problems and make your garage door last longer. It’s important to call a professional for garage door repairs because:

  • Safety: Garage doors are heavy and dangerous to work on without proper training and tools. Trying to fix it yourself can lead to serious injuries.
  • Lack of Expertise: Garage door repairs need special knowledge and skills. Without them, you might not know what’s causing the problem or make it worse by trying to fix it yourself.
  • Cost and Warranty: If you try to repair the door yourself, you might spend more money and void any warranty you have on the door or its parts.
  • Time: Fixing a garage door takes time and the right tools. Hiring a professional saves you time and lets you focus on other things.

A professional garage door technician, like John Chapman, knows how to do the job safely and correctly. He has the experience, tools, and knowledge to find the problem and fix it so your garage door works well again.

    On time, good price, excellent job. John saved me hundreds by repairing my opener instead of replacing it. New door is perfect. He shows great knowledge, is personable, and even went out of his way to help my neighbor with his garage door adjustment.

    Fantastic service and the best price I could find. I got three different estimates, and I’m so glad I went with Cal Western doors. We updated our old garage door to a modern three panel carriage style look and we absolutely love it. I don’t write reviews very often I’m writing this one voluntarily because they deserve all five stars and you should definitely check them out.

    The springs on our garage door broke yesterday. We emailed John, he called within 10 minutes with a quote and an appointment for today. He came on time, very courteous, got to work right away. The door was fixed in 20 minutes. Very reasonable rate. Very happy!

    Several years ago John replaced an old garage door at our house and was willing to work around the other construction we had going on at the time (I made things complicated for him) and he recently came back and installed a new opener. He is a super nice guy, responded quickly, and his work is top-notch. In both cases I was shocked by the bill--super affordable!

    "Just bought a home, the garage door was rusty and insulation falling apart. The garage opener was antique Sears with only 1 remote to share between my wife and I. So I call Cal-Western and John was there to save the day. He was no less than great from start to finish. Provided me with a super fair quote for a new door AND a new opener during his free estimate visit, so much so, I said let's proceed right then and there. 2 weeks later he gives me a shout saying the door I chose was in and if I was available for a next day install. Heck yeah! Install was quick, area was clean post work and my wife and I each can open the garage without sharing. John and Cal-Western is now a permanent fixture in my contacts for garage related needs and to refer when friends and family ask for a recommendation on a garage door guy! Thank you so much again John!

    My garage door was not closing all of the time.  It seemed like it was occasionally getting stuck.  I called John and he retighten the springs and fixed some of the track, but told me that it was the opener that was the issue and not the springs.  The door worked fine for the next two days and the same issue came back.  I called John and said "when can you install another opener".  John installed the opener.  A month later and the door is working like a charm.  John is very professional, works efficiently and his pricing is very fair.  I strongly recommend his services.  Thank you John.

    Best company I've dealt with in a long time. When they say they will be there, they are there. Extremely polite and know exactly what they are doing. The owner is wonderful. He is kind and on time. I have recommended them to three people. If you have or need a garage door fix or complete installation they are the people you should call.
