Oh No ! , You just found out your garage door is in need of repair. Broken spring ? , Cables came off ? What to do ?
Call a professional, period.
I have always said that the installation and repair of a garage door is 50% science and 50% art. Anyone can do simple repairs by following the directions but you generally count on the door to work flawlessly for years and years and that’s where the “art” of the garage door repairman comes into play. A well trained craftsman will be able to ” fine tune “ the installation or repair.
The most common way of finding a garage door repairman is to look in the Yellow Pages but be wary of the companies that have big ads that don’t list a local physical address as you are probably dealing with a referral company that actually is not in the repair business and is just contacting a local handyman.
I have heard of some of these companies charge 3 and 4 times the going rate for the same repair eleswhere and also remember …. never ever sign a blank work order.
Don't Service This Yourself
