Garage door roller maintenance
Annual tune-up
— Service 04

Tune-up — before something breaks.

An annual service catches the stuff that's about to fail. Springs are wearing. Rollers are dry. Sensors are drifting. A half-hour of work now is cheaper than an after-hours emergency call later.

  • Lubricate hinges, rollers, springs
  • Check & tighten hardware
  • Test & balance the door
  • Test safety sensors & auto-reverse
  • Inspect cables & weather seal
  • Visual diagnosis of spring life
Flat-rate annual service. Most tune-ups done in 30–45 minutes. We'll tell you what we found — and only what actually needs to be replaced.
Garage door stuck half-open with car trapped inside — emergency call
Often dispatched within the hour
— Service 05

24/7 Emergency — when you can't wait.

Door stuck open with the car inside. Spring blew at 6am. Storm wedged a panel against the track. We dispatch same-day, often within the hour, weekends included. The shop is open Mon–Sat 8–6; outside those hours — nights and Sundays — the line routes to the on-call tech.

Don't try to lift the door if a spring's broken — a double door is 150–250 lbs of dead weight with nothing holding it up. Unplug the opener so it doesn't burn out trying. Springs stay a trained tech's job, always. Then call us.

Not just commercial
— Service 06

Gates & gate operators — residential too.

Slide gates. Swing gates. Drive-up operators. Most garage door companies skip residential gates and send you to a separate vendor — we don't. Same crew, same shop, same number you already have.

  • Gate operator install & replace
  • Slide gate motors & chains
  • Swing gate operators & hinges
  • Keypad & remote setup
  • Loop detector & safety photo-eye
  • Retrofit older gate systems
LiftMaster Doorking
Quoted on-site. Residential gate jobs vary a lot — driveway length, existing wiring, HOA rules, single vs. double gate. Mention what you have on the call and we'll send the right tech.

— Operational questions

What homeowners actually ask.

Five things that come up on almost every call. Answers up-front so you don't have to hunt.

01
How fast can you actually come out?
Same-day for most repairs across Sacramento, Placer & El Dorado. Emergency calls often dispatched within the hour. New-door installs and special-order parts run on a normal schedule (usually 1–2 weeks).
+
02
Will you give me a price over the phone?
For most common repairs, yes — we'll ballpark on the call. The tech confirms with a written quote on-site before any work starts. Custom doors and commercial jobs need an on-site measurement first; we'll tell you up-front if that's the case.
+
03
Do you carry common parts on the truck?
Yes — most spring, roller, hinge, sensor, and opener jobs are done from the truck. We stock parts for the common door brands and opener manufacturers. Special-order panels and custom doors are scheduled separately.
+
04
Do I need to be home for the tech to give me a quote?
For most repairs, yes — the tech needs to inspect the door. For new-door consultations we can usually measure and quote with you on the phone briefly while the tech's there. Tell us when you book and we'll work with your schedule.
+
05
Will my opener still work after you replace the spring?
Usually yes — but the opener may have been straining for a while before the spring fully broke. When we replace the spring, we test the opener and tell you if it's been damaged. We'll never replace an opener you don't need; we'll also never let you drive away thinking it's fine when it's not.
