Garage Door Repair FAQs
What are some common garage door problems?
Garage doors face constant use and exposure to the weather, which often leads to problems over time. These are some of the most common issues:
- Broken springs – A snapped spring makes it nearly impossible to open your garage door, since springs counterbalance the door’s weight.
- Worn or broken cables – Cables can fray, stretch, or snap, leaving your garage door stuck or operating unevenly.
- Misaligned or bent tracks – Damaged tracks stop your garage door from running smoothly, causing jams or unsafe movement.
- Motor or sensor malfunctions – Automated doors often fail due to motor or sensor issues. Our experts quickly diagnose and repair the fault.
- Damaged panels – Dents, cracks, or warping affect both security and appearance. We can repair or replace damaged sections to restore your door.
Hey Alfie makes it simple: describe your garage door issue, submit a job, get quotes from trusted experts, and book with upfront pricing. Whether you need a quick fix or a full replacement, Hey Alfie ensures your garage door is safe, secure, and working like new.
