Quick Answers Alvin Homeowners Ask First
“My garage door won’t open. What should I do right now?”
Ans: Stop pressing the opener button. If you heard a bang, it may be a broken spring. Keep kids and pets away from the door. Call us.

“Can you come today?”
Ans: Often, yes. Same-day service is usually possible depending on call volume.
“Do you work on all brands?”
Ans: Yes. We service common residential and commercial systems (springs, tracks, rollers, cables, openers, panels).

- Hinges and bearings
- Opener safety features and controls
Step 2—Options and written estimate
You get:
- What’s failing

DIY vs Professional Care (What’s Safe, What’s Not)
Safe homeowner tasks (good to do)
- Keep the area under the door clear
- Listen for new noises
- Replace remote batteries
- Call quickly when symptoms start
- Clean photo-eye sensor lenses
- Watch for uneven movement
Tasks you should not do
- Adjust torsion springs
- Replace cables without the right setup
- “Help” the door with the opener (it burns motors)
- Loosen spring set screws
- Force an off-track door back into place
Garage door spring assemblies carry extreme tension—industry safety resources warn about spring hazards, especially with extension systems and the need for containment cables.
Hazards of Garage Doors (Why We Take Safety Seriously)
A garage door is one of the heaviest moving parts in your home.
- Torsion and extension springs
- Door fall/crush hazard
- Cable failure
- Pinch points
- Struck-by hazards
- Ladder falls
- Electrical shock / burns (openers)
- Entrapment risk (closing door)
- Wind / storm-related risk
Is Your Garage Door Due for Repair or Replacement?
Here’s how we help you decide without pressure.
“Repair is usually the right call when:”
- The door is straight and structurally sound
- The issue is a spring, cable, roller, sensor, or opener component
- Panels are available and only one section is damaged
- The system can be balanced correctly after the fix
“Replacement is often smarter when:”
- Multiple sections are bent or cracked
- The door binds even after alignment
- The door is very old and keeps failing
- You want insulation, quieter operation, or a wind-rated system
| Situation | Better choice |
|---|---|
| One broken spring, door otherwise solid | Repair |
| Door off-track due to worn rollers | Repair |
| Multiple panels damaged + hard to match | Replace |
| Door is loud, thin, and you want quieter/insulated | Replace |
| Repeated breakdowns every few months | Replace |
| Need wind-rated reinforcement | Replace |
