What we fix most in Johnston

Snapped or frayed cables

Cables usually fail at the bottom bracket. One side drops, the door racks sideways and panels bend. We replace both cables and check the drums and springs they're attached to.

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.

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.

Broken torsion springs

The loud bang from the garage followed by a door that's suddenly too heavy to lift. We replace springs in matched pairs, sized to the door's actual weight, so the door balances and the opener stops straining.

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 Johnston customers

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.

Is the work warrantied?

5 years on springs and parts we install, 1 year on labor. New doors carry the manufacturer's warranty on top.

Do you charge extra to come to Johnston?

No. Johnston is inside our regular Des Moines service area. The service call fee is the same, and it's applied to the repair.

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.
