While many homeowners don’t immediately put the need to winterize their garage on their fall to-do list, it’s actually quite important. Ensuring that you have a well-working garage now can prevent costly and time-consuming emergencies throughout the Minnesota winter months. If you are looking for a winter garage door tune-up in Minnesota, consider our experts here at The Garage Door Repair Company.
Garage Door Repair Company has remained an open garage door repair company during COVID-19 for customers in Minneapolis & St. Paul and surrounding Metro. We understand that this has been a very trying time for our community and many of our customers. Having to also deal with a problem such as a non-functioning garage door only adds to the stress you are living with. The team at Garage Door Repair Company can help you reduce your stress in at least one area of your life by repairing your garage door safely and affordably.
Have you recently starting having trouble with your garage door? Do you suspect that you may be in need of a garage door spring replacement? At Garage Door Repair Company, we have extensive experience with all types of garage door repairs including spring replacement. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and should never be repaired by a homeowner. If you suspect that there is anything wrong with your garage door springs, don’t hesitate to reach out to us today. Remember, we’re available 24/7 to handle all of your garage repair needs. Garage spring failure can be a very dangerous situation.
Have you ever gone to open your Garage Door and when you push the wall button nothing happens but you can still hear the motor running inside the Garage Door Opener? Usually this means you have a Stripped Gear and Sprocket Assembly and it needs to be repaired or have a new Opener installed. One of our customers over in Minneapolis, MN was having this issue with his opener and we identified that the gear had stripped out inside the Opener so it was just spinning and not matching up with the other gears. We were able to provide options between repair or replacement and the customer opted to go with a full replacement.
At Garage Door Repair Company we often talk about having your Garage Door and Garage Door Opener inspected to perform any preventative maintenance so that you can avoid any headaches in the future. Sometimes we find that it has gotten to the point where you may just want to replace the entire Garage Door. This was the case for one of our customers in Crystal, MN; they had moved in to their home within the last year but had inherited a cheap sub-par Garage Door. Initially the door worked fine for them but over time it started to jam when closing and even the panels began to crack. We explained to the customer that we could repair the door to the point of getting it functional again but there was nothing we could do about the cracks that were forming on the panels and it would only get worse. They opted to have the door replaced completely and now have peace of mind that they have a quality Garage Door for years to come.
The Garage Door is often times considered a luxury of life that not many of us are really thinking about, of course, until the Garage Door breaks down. There are many different problems that can occur with the Garage Door but one of the more difficult repairs is when a broken cable happens to your Garage Door. This often times will happen when the door is opening or closing and because of the weight of the door being supported by the Torsion Springs the door will end up going crooked and jamming completely. In Bloomington, MN we were out servicing a customer for some new bottom seal and new precision bearing rollers but while we were inspecting the entire Garage Door we found that their cable was down to only a few steel threads and was about to snap at any moment. We were able to replace their cables before they broke which can cause even more damage and costs.
To our valued customers,
As we continue to learn more about COVID-19 and as other businesses start to re-open, our team at Garage Door Repair Company would like to express our concern for all those who have been affected. Our employees and our customers are our top priority , and we are doing everything we can to ensure the health and safety of each.
We have been closely monitoring the situation since it began and fully support all precautions being taken to prevent any further spread of the virus. Garage Door Repair Company has remained open and in full operation as we understand how important it may be to your daily lives to have a fully functional Garage Door. However, in response to this public health emergency, we’ve implemented a few changes to our policies to help prevent the spread:
• Our technicians will practice social distancing rather than shaking hands at the door.
• Estimates and repair recommendations can be done remotely or over the phone while our customers stay inside or quarantined.
• Preferably all payments will be made by credit card rather than by check.
• We will continue to clean up after ourselves, wash our hands, and use hand sanitizer often.
The nature of our industry allows us a lot of flexibility in these times as most of our technicians are working in one to two man crews which is well under the guidelines that have been laid out before us. We even have the ability to complete all work without any face to face interactions and take payments over the phone.
We thank you for working with us as we navigate this situation.
