Loose cable, frayed cable, crooked door or rollers outside the track? We inspect the cable, drum, roller, track and spring system to identify the original cause.

Request ServiceCOMMON WARNING SIGNS
A damaged lift cable may hang loose, unwind from the drum or show visible broken strands.
Uneven cable tension or a hardware failure can leave one side of the door higher than the other.
The door may become jammed or unstable when a roller leaves a bent or misaligned track.
This can happen after uneven movement, a cable problem or another failure in the door system.
CABLE & TRACK REPAIR COST
The visible cable or off-track roller may be only one part of the problem. Pricing depends on what caused the door to become uneven, jammed or unstable.
Cable condition, drum alignment, rollers, tracks, spring tension, damaged brackets and door sections are evaluated before a repair option is recommended.
Warranty: Covered repair work includes a 1-year workmanship warranty. Product coverage for openers and new garage doors follows the applicable manufacturer warranty.
DIAGNOSIS BEFORE PARTS
Replacing or resetting the visible part without finding the cause can allow the problem to return. We inspect the surrounding lift and guide hardware before restoring operation.
We explain what we find and the available repair or replacement options before the work moves forward.
✓ Lift cables and cable routing
✓ Cable drums and shaft hardware
✓ Rollers, hinges and tracks
