What Maryland customers say

★★★★★

Spring went at 5am, I called at 5:15 and the truck was here before 8. He showed me the broken coil, gave me the price, and it was done in under an hour.

Marcus D.Forest Heights, Maryland
★★★★★

Our opener had been groaning for a year. They replaced the gear kit instead of selling me a whole new unit. Quiet as anything now.

Priya N.Forest Heights, Maryland
★★★★★

The garage is under our bedroom. New belt drive and I no longer hear the school run at seven in the morning.

Garage Door Cable Repair in Forest Heights: your questions

My garage door is hanging crooked. Is it safe to use?

No. Stop using the opener, leave the door where it is and call us. Running a door with a broken cable can bend the tracks, damage panels and drop the door.

What causes a garage door cable to snap?

Rust from Maryland winters and road salt, fraying where the cable rubs a worn drum, or the shock load of a spring letting go. Cables are always replaced as a pair.

Can you get my door back on the track today?

In most cases, yes. Off-track doors are one of our most common Forest Heights emergency calls and we carry rollers, hinges and cable sets on the truck.

What garage door brands do you service?

All of the common ones: Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Overhead Door, Raynor, CHI, LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman and Sommer, plus plenty of older doors nobody makes any more.

How much does garage door repair cost in Forest Heights?

It depends on what broke. A tune-up is the cheapest visit we sell, spring and cable work sits in the middle, and opener or panel replacement is higher. You get one flat written price for your specific door before any work starts.

Do you charge extra for nights and weekends in Forest Heights?

We run a 24 hour service and quote the whole job as one flat price before we start. You will know the number for a Sunday night call before anybody picks up a tool.
