Emergency board-up, security and make-safe first — permanent repair scheduled after.
Three jobs wear the name "garage door repair" in Scarborough, and only one is urgent
Almost every call we take in Scarborough is one of three separate jobs on the same door, and which one it is decides whether it can wait until morning, what the visit costs, and whether you should be touching it at all. The counterbalance carries the weight. The running gear lets the door travel. The opener only pushes.
Which of the three you have, without tools
Two can be told apart from the doorway. What kind of spring the door carries is worth knowing at the same time, because it changes the job.
What rides on the truck, and what a first visit in Scarborough fixes
The common residential torsion sizes, cables, drums, rollers, hinges, seals and the LiftMaster line we fit most all travel with the crew.
Repair or replace a Scarborough door, and the arithmetic behind it
Everything mechanical on a door is replaceable, so the question is never whether the part can be fixed. It is whether the door behind it is worth the parts.
Winter in Scarborough, and what it does to a door
Four things happen to a garage door through a Scarborough winter, and three of them are avoidable.
Three questions worth asking any garage door company in Scarborough
The spread of prices in this trade is usually in what the quote leaves out. These three close it, and they work on us as well as on anybody else.
Broken garage door in Scarborough: we come to you
If the door is stuck open, hanging crooked, or you heard a bang and it will not lift, call 800-522-6825 rather than filling this in — the line is answered 24 hours and that one does not wait. For a noisy door, a worn opener, a perished seal, or a price to replace the door, tell us what it is doing, roughly how old it is and whereabouts in Scarborough you are. A photo taken from inside the garage is worth more than any description.
Common questions about garage door repair
Should I get a 1/2 HP or 3/4 HP opener?
It follows the door, not the garage. Half a horsepower moves a standard single door and a light double; three quarters is the sensible choice for a double door, an insulated door, a wood or wood-look door, or any door that gets used many times a day. The failure mode of an underpowered opener is not that the door will not move — it is that it moves under strain for a couple of years and then strips a gear. When it is close, we go up rather than down, because the price difference between the two is much smaller than a second call-out.
Belt, chain or jackshaft — which should I choose?
Chain if the garage is detached or nobody sleeps above it, and the budget matters. Belt if there is a bedroom over the garage or the garage is part of the house, because the difference in noise is not subtle. Jackshaft if there is no headroom for a rail, if you want the ceiling clear, or if the door is tall — it mounts on the wall beside the shaft and turns the shaft directly. A jackshaft costs more and needs a properly sprung door and solid mounting, but on the right garage it is the tidiest installation there is.
Do you repair garage door openers?
No. When an opener has failed we replace it, and that is a deliberate position rather than a limitation. A logic board, a gear kit or a motor on a residential opener costs a large fraction of a new unit, it goes into a machine whose remaining parts are the same age, and nothing about the rest of it is any newer afterwards. A new opener is warrantied as a whole and is usually fitted the same visit. Where the fault is the door — a broken spring, a cable off its drum, rollers or track — that is a repair, we do it, and it is on our garage door repair page.
