FAQ

  • Residential FAQs

    • Every repair starts with a $165 service call. That covers the first hour of labor, our 21-point annual tune-up, and a written estimate. If the repair needs parts or more time, you'll see the price in writing before we do any work.
    • Yes, our technicians work on all brands of garage doors and openers.
    • We offer same-day service calls. Call or book online and we'll get you the earliest open time.

    • Yes. Spring replacements come with a 3-year parts warranty, and other repairs are covered for 90 days.

    • Most residential garage door installations can be completed in a single day. The exact timeline depends on the type of door, any customizations, and the condition of the existing system.
    • It's often worn rollers, dry hinges, or loose hardware. Our 21-point tune-up covers all of those, so the noise can usually be fixed on the service call.
    • Try not to. Running an off-track door can bend the panels and tracks and make the repair bigger. Call us and we'll get it back on track.
    • Yes. We offer installation, repair, maintenance, and replacement services for both residential and commercial garage door systems, helping keep businesses operating safely and efficiently.

  • Commercial FAQs

    • Overhead and rolling doors, fire doors, security grilles, counter doors, and the operators that run them.
    • Yes! Contract holders get priority emergency scheduling, and regular service can catch problems before they shut a door down. Call us for details.

    • Yes, by request. We can schedule after hours, on weekends or in stages around your operations.

    • We're licensed in Oregon and Washington and can handle facilities across both states.
    • Yes. Our technicians are fire door certified, and we offer fire door inspections and testing.

  • Residential Emergency

    • A door that's stuck open, won't close, came off its track, or has a broken spring or cable. If your home isn't secure or your car is stuck inside, it's worth a call.
    • It's best not to. The spring does the heavy lifting, and without it the door is very heavy and can drop. Leave it closed if you can and call us.
    • Yes! Oregon City Garage Door handles emergency repairs for garage doors damaged by storms, vehicle impacts, and break-ins. A technician can assess the damage and recommend the appropriate repairs to help restore your door's functionality and security.
    • Yes. Calls are answered 24/7. If it's after hours, we'll get you on the schedule for the earliest open time.
    • If your garage door spring breaks, avoid operating the door or attempting to replace the spring yourself. Garage door springs are under significant tension and can cause serious injuries. Contact a professional technician to inspect the system and make the necessary repairs.

  • Spring

    • You'll usually hear a loud bang from the garage. After that the door may not lift, or it lifts a few inches and stops. You might also see a gap in the spring above the door.
    • If your door has two springs and one breaks, replacing both is usually the better choice, since the other one is the same age.
    • Spring replacements come with a 3-year warranty.

  • Tracks

    • Usually a bump from a car, a broken cable or spring, or worn rollers that slip out of the track. We'll find the cause so it doesn't happen again.
    • Sometimes. A minor bend can often be straightened and realigned. If the track is kinked or cracked, replacing that section is safer. We'll show you which one you need before we start.

  • Rollers

    • Listen for grinding or squeaking, and watch for a door that shakes on the way up. Rollers that look chipped or wobble in the track are worn too.
    • Nylon rollers run quieter and need less lubrication. Steel rollers are durable and cost less. We'll recommend what fits your door.

  • Hinges

    • Years of opening and closing wear them out, and loose bolts let a hinge flex until it cracks.
    • Not always, but don't ignore it. A failed hinge puts strain on the panels around it and can turn into a bigger repair. Book a service call and we'll replace it.

  • Panels

    • Often, yes. If the panel is still made for your door model, we can order a match. If it's discontinued, we'll go over your options.
    • It depends on the door's age and condition. If several panels are damaged or the door is older, a new door can make more sense. We'll give you a written estimate either way.

  • Safety Sensors

    • You can wipe the lenses and make sure nothing is blocking them. If the door still won't close, the wiring or the sensors may need work, and that's a service call.
    • Please don't. The sensors stop the door from closing on a person, pet or car. If they're failing, call us and we'll get them working.

  • Opener Repair

    • That can be a stripped gear, a broken spring, or a disconnected trolley. Our technician can tell which one on the service call.
    • It depends on the opener's age and what failed. We'll give you a written estimate for the repair, and if replacing it makes more sense, we'll tell you why and quote a LiftMaster opener too.

  • Openers & Installation

    • It depends on your door and your garage. Wall-mount models free up ceiling space, belt drives are the quietest, and chain drives are durable and budget friendly. We'll help you choose.
    • Many LiftMaster models work with the myQ app, so you can open, close and check on your door from your phone.
    • Our installation work is covered for one year, and your opener also has LiftMaster's manufacturer warranty.
    • Yes. Our technicians work on all brands of garage doors, and we test the new opener with your door before we leave.
    • Not necessarily. Book a $165 service call and we'll find out why it stopped. If replacing it makes more sense, we'll tell you why and quote a LiftMaster opener.
