Question 1

My garage door spring broke. Can you come out today?

Accepted Answer

Usually, yes. Broken springs are the most common emergency we handle and our trucks carry them stocked. Same-day service is available on most repair calls, and we dispatch for genuine emergencies around the clock.

Question 2

How much does a garage door repair cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends entirely on what failed. A misaligned safety sensor is a small job; a pair of torsion springs on a heavy insulated door is not. We give you a price before any work starts, and there is no charge if you decide not to proceed.

Question 3

Do you work on garage doors you didn't install?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We service every major brand regardless of who installed it, including doors and openers we don't sell.

Question 4

My door closes and then immediately opens again. What's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Nine times out of ten that's a safety sensor problem — the photo eyes near the floor are misaligned, dirty, or obstructed. It's an inexpensive fix and worth calling about before assuming the opener has failed.

Question 5

Can I replace a garage door spring myself?

Accepted Answer

We'd strongly advise against it. Torsion springs hold an enormous amount of stored energy and releasing that without the correct winding bars causes serious injuries every year. This is the one garage door job worth handing to somebody with the right tools.

Question 6

Which areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

We're based in McKinney and cover Collin County and the surrounding North Texas communities — including Allen, Frisco, Plano, Melissa, Prosper, Celina, Weston, Anna, Blue Ridge, Wylie, and Princeton.

Question 7

How long should a garage door last?

Accepted Answer

A well-maintained door commonly lasts 15 to 30 years, though springs and openers wear out sooner — springs are rated in cycles rather than years. An annual tune-up is the cheapest way to get the full life out of the assembly.
