Garage Door Repairs in Berwick

Garage Door Repairs – Berwick

I spend much of my time doing garage door repairs in the area and Berwick is no exception. The list of reasons for door repairs is long, stalling and jamming, stiff or heavy doors, broken this or that. All adding to your frustration. Luckily though, most issues are quick and easy to fix without much extra cost.

Garage Door Repairs, Costs

The cost of a general callout, that doesn’t require extra parts, is $140*. Many visits fall into this category and only require a general service and minor adjustments to the garage door or opener. Additional costs can occur for parts such as hinges, wheels, torsion-bar bearings or other repair costs already mentioned on this page.

When you call for garage door repairs, I will ask you several questions to help qualify the most likely cause of the problem. Going through this process will help save you from any nasty “cost shocks” during the time of the visit. In the vast majority of cases I can specifically target the cause of the problem from your description over the phone. With this information I can give you an honest expected cost to make the repair.

Garage Door Spring Replacement – Berwick

It’s never fun when the springs break on your garage door. And it never happens at a good time. Unfortunately, if one or more of your garage door springs are broken then they will need to be replaced.

Garage Door Springs, Replacement Cost

The cost of replacing a torsion spring on single car garage is $330*, if it only has one spring to begin with. Replacement cost for torsion springs on an average size double car garage door is $390* to replace both springs. The cost includes standard servicing work and function testing to make sure that everything will run properly. ( prices based on door sizes of 2200 x 2500 and 2200 x 4900 respectively. Actual cost may vary )

Before you call – Measure your door: In order to get the right springs for your door you will need to take a measurement of the height and width of your garage door. Garage doors come in many different sizes and there is no standard size. Try to get your measurements to the nearest 10mm and I will match the right springs for your door for best results.

With many homes around Berwick pushing past the 10 year mark, it comes as no surprise to receive more and more calls for garage door spring replacement in the area. While there are no hard figures, it is common to see springs break on garage doors in the 10 – 15 year age bracket. When replacing your springs I use High Cycle springs to help you avoid having them replaced again in 10 years or so. Just do the right thing and have your door serviced every 2 years and they should last the life of the door.

Garage Door Cable Replacement – Berwick

You pressed the button to open your garage door and now it’s jammed at a horrible angle. Chances are, one of your garage door cables has snapped. Take a deep breath, grab your phone and give me a call. Because there’s no way around this problem. You need to get your cables replaced.

Garage Door Cable, Replacement Cost

The cost of replacing the cables on your sectional garage door is $200*. Both cables are changed at the same time and are custom made on site to suit your door. The visit includes standard servicing work and function testing to make sure that everything will run properly. In all cases I use a heavy duty cable that is highly durable to protect against uneven stretching. Garage door cable replacement takes about 1 hour to complete.

Garage door cables will usually snap if they have been affected by rust. Due to salt air, it is a very common problem in bay and coastal areas. But with Berwick being so far from salt water rust is usually a combination of wet weather and poor ventilation. Another reason for your cables to snap is friction during door operation. In both cases the problems of rust and friction can be avoided by lubricating the cables during regular servicing visits.

Automatic garage door opener repair – Berwick

If you are having problems with the operation of your garage door then it might be a sign that your motor is worn or damaged. As automatic openers get older they start to suffer from a few common issues. Worn internal drive units or gear shafts, worn or broken gears or electrical components on the circuit board that degrade over time and become unreliable.

If your garage door opener is more than 10 years old it can be hard to justify doing costly repairs when other issues on the opener could soon crop up. As they get older they naturally become susceptible to age related problems. (don’t we all) Fortunately the cost to replace your opener is affordable.

Opener Replacement Cost

The cost to replace your garage door opener will only be $550*. The price is the same for roller doors, sectional doors and tilt doors. During the process of replacing your opener I will also carry out a service on your door and function test the operation of the new opener. All openers come with a 5 year warranty.

What if the problem is not the automatic opener?

Not to worry. If the problem is not because of the motor then it is likely service related door issue. Before I would ever look at replacing a motor I always look for other causes for the problem. About half of the callouts I get for motor issues end up being a service issue. So prepare for the worst but don’t be surprised if it ends up costing a lot less.
