What we fix most in Altoona

Opener won't respond

Remote dead, wall button does nothing, or the motor hums but the door doesn't move. We repair logic boards, gears and sensors, and tell you plainly when a new opener is the better value.

Door reverses before closing

Nine times out of ten the safety sensors are misaligned or dirty. The rest of the time it's a travel-limit or force setting. Quick to diagnose, usually quick to fix.

Noisy, shaking door

Grinding, popping and rattling almost always mean worn rollers, loose hinges or a dry chain. A tune-up with new nylon rollers makes the door quiet again.

Damaged panels

A bumped bumper or storm debris dents a section. If the rest of the door is sound we replace just the panel, color-matched, instead of the whole door.

Garage doors and freezing winters

Cold makes steel springs brittle and ice can freeze the bottom seal to the slab. Most winter calls here are snapped springs and doors that won't lift; we carry cold-rated springs and seals.

Questions from Altoona customers

Do you work on commercial doors?

Yes. Roll-up and sectional commercial doors, high-cycle springs and commercial openers for shops and small warehouses around Altoona.

Can you replace just one spring?

We can, but we don't recommend it. Springs are installed as a matched pair and the second one fails soon after the first. Replacing both at once costs less than two visits.

How quickly can you get to Altoona?

Most Altoona calls are handled the same day. Call before noon and you'll usually see a technician that afternoon; emergencies are dispatched first.

My door is stuck halfway. Should I pull the red cord?

Not if the door is crooked or a spring looks broken — the door can drop. Leave it, keep people and cars clear, and call us.
