    In most cases, we can fix track misalignment issues the same day you call. Our rapid response team typically arrives within 2-4 hours for urgent issues. Track misalignment is one of our most common repairs, and our technicians carry the necessary tools and hardware to complete the repair in a single visit. The actual repair usually takes 30-60 minutes depending on the severity of the misalignment and whether any additional parts need replacement. If you notice your door wobbling, making scraping sounds, or appearing crooked, call us right away at (828) 426-5418 to prevent further damage.

    Track misalignment can occur for several reasons. The most common cause is impact damage—when a vehicle, lawnmower, or other object strikes the track or door, it can bend or shift the tracks out of position. Loose mounting hardware is another frequent culprit; over time, the vibration from normal door operation can loosen the bolts and brackets that hold the tracks in place. Worn or damaged rollers can also cause alignment issues, as they may jump out of the track or cause uneven movement. Additionally, the natural settling of your home's foundation can affect the garage door frame and tracks. In colder climates, freeze-thaw cycles can shift the concrete floor and walls, leading to misalignment. Regular maintenance and inspection can catch these issues early before they become major problems.

    A standard residential garage door installation typically takes 3-5 hours from start to finish. This includes removing the old door and hardware, installing the new door panels and tracks, setting up the opener system, and conducting thorough safety testing. More complex installations, such as custom wood doors or doors requiring structural modifications, may take a full day. We always aim to complete installations in a single visit so you can use your garage door immediately. Our team arrives with all necessary equipment and materials, minimizing delays. We'll provide a more accurate time estimate during your free consultation based on your specific door choice and installation requirements.

    We provide a comprehensive 2-year warranty on all labor and workmanship for both repairs and installations. This is one of the most extensive warranties in our industry. The warranty covers any issues related to our installation or repair work, including adjustments, realignments, and component failures that result from our service. Additionally, all parts and products come with their own manufacturer warranties, which can range from 1 year to lifetime depending on the component. We'll explain all warranty terms during service and provide written documentation for your records. Our warranty is transferable if you sell your home, adding value for future buyers.

    We recommend professional garage door maintenance at least once per year for optimal performance and longevity. However, if you use your garage door more than average (more than 4 times per day) or live in an area with extreme temperatures or high humidity, twice-yearly service may be beneficial. Between professional visits, homeowners should perform monthly visual inspections, lubricate moving parts every 3-6 months, and test safety features regularly. Annual professional maintenance includes spring tension adjustment, cable inspection, opener calibration, safety system testing, and thorough lubrication. Regular maintenance can extend your garage door's lifespan by years and helps prevent costly emergency repairs.

    First, check the simple things: ensure the opener is plugged in, the remote batteries are fresh, and nothing is blocking the photo-eye sensors at the bottom of the door. If the wall button works but the remote doesn't, the issue is likely with the remote or antenna. If nothing works, try using the emergency release cord (the red handle hanging from the opener track) to disconnect the door from the opener—this allows manual operation. If the door is extremely heavy or moves unevenly, do not force it, as this could indicate a broken spring, which is dangerous to address without professional training. For any situation you're unsure about, call us at (828) 426-5418. We offer 24/7 emergency service for urgent situations.

    Spring replacement costs typically range from $179 to $400 depending on the type of spring system, the size and weight of your door, and whether one or both springs need replacement. Torsion springs (mounted above the door) are generally more expensive than extension springs (mounted along the sides) due to their complexity. We always recommend replacing springs in pairs, even if only one has broken, because the second spring is likely near the end of its lifespan and will fail soon. Attempting to save money by replacing only one spring often leads to a second service call within months. All our spring replacements include professional installation, door balancing, and our 2-year warranty. Call for a free estimate specific to your door.
