How Much Does It Cost To Repair A Garage Door?
The typical price range for garage door repairs is between $70 to $300 dollars.
Why Won’t My Garage Door Open?
There are a number of possible reasons, but the most common causes are broken springs or cables, or that the garage door opener no longer works. Sometimes the tracks just need cleaning and tightening, but they could also be bent or misaligned.
You could also have the opposite problem; your garage door could be stuck wide-open! A garage door that won’t close is a massive security risk and a massive headache. Sometimes the fix is as simple as removing obstructions blocking the door’s safety sensors. It could also be that the limit switch needs some fine-tuning, or the open or close limit settings of your door opener aren’t properly set.
At the end of the day, whatever the reasons for your faulty garage door, we’ll find the solution to fix it. Here at Raise-Up Garage Door Services, we know garage doors like the back of our hands.
Why Won’t My Garage Door Opener Transmitter Work?
The usual culprits are misaligned photosensors or dead batteries in the remote control. Sometimes, it’s a burned out motor unit on the opener itself. It could also be the antenna on the motor causing poor signal or reception issues. Whether it’s as simple as reprogramming the remote or something a bit more complicated like replacing the transmitter altogether, we’ll find the most efficient solution.
Garage door openers and transmitters can be tricky, so you should really leave this to professionals. While we’re at it, we’ll also inspect your garage door opener. A properly functioning garage door opener is crucial for convenience, but it’s also a matter of safety. Improperly adjusted closing force on the opener could damage your door or even injure a child or pet that happens to walk under the door.
