How quickly can you fix my sensor issues?

In most cases, we can diagnose and repair garage door sensor issues within 30-60 minutes of arrival. Our technicians carry a full inventory of replacement sensors in their service vehicles, allowing us to complete most repairs on the spot. For standard sensor alignment issues, the fix is often as quick as 15 minutes. If your sensors need replacement, we stock all major brands including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, and Genie, so there's no waiting for parts. Same-day service is available for sensor issues, and emergency calls receive priority response with an average arrival time of 30 minutes.

What causes sensor issues in garage doors?

Garage door sensor issues typically stem from several common causes. First, misalignment is the most frequent culprit – sensors can be knocked out of position by passing objects, vibration from the door operation, or accidental bumps. Second, dirty lenses from dust, cobwebs, or moisture buildup can block the infrared beam. Third, wiring problems such as damaged cables, loose connections, or wire breaks can interrupt the signal. Fourth, LED light interference from certain lightbulbs can affect sensor operation. Fifth, sun glare hitting the sensor lens directly can cause false readings. Finally, sensors do have a lifespan and may fail after 10-15 years of use. Our technicians perform a comprehensive diagnosis to identify the exact cause and provide the most cost-effective solution.

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend professional garage door maintenance at least once per year, though twice-yearly service is ideal for optimal performance and longevity. Regular maintenance includes lubricating all moving parts, checking and adjusting spring tension, inspecting cables and rollers for wear, testing safety features, tightening hardware, and checking weatherstripping. Annual maintenance can extend your garage door's lifespan by 5-10 years and helps prevent unexpected breakdowns. Our maintenance plans include priority scheduling, discounts on repairs, and peace of mind knowing your door is operating safely.

What is covered under your 5-year warranty?

Our comprehensive 5-year warranty covers all labor performed by our technicians and extends to any parts we install. This includes springs, cables, rollers, hinges, sensors, opener components, and weather seals. If any part we installed fails during normal use within the warranty period, we'll replace it at no charge. The warranty also covers our workmanship – if something wasn't installed correctly, we'll fix it free of charge. Manufacturer warranties on garage doors and openers are separate and typically range from 1 year to lifetime depending on the product. We help you navigate and utilize all applicable warranties.

How long does a garage door installation take?

A standard garage door installation typically takes 3-4 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old door, installing the new door sections and hardware, setting up the opener system, programming remotes, and testing all safety features. For more complex installations involving custom doors, insulated panels, or smart home integration, the process may take 4-6 hours. We always aim to complete installations in a single visit and leave your garage cleaner than we found it. Before installation, we'll provide a detailed timeline and keep you informed throughout the process.

Do you work on commercial garage doors?

Yes, we provide comprehensive commercial garage door services including installation, repair, and maintenance for businesses throughout Central Texas. We service roll-up doors, sectional doors, high-speed doors, fire-rated doors, and loading dock equipment. Our commercial team understands that downtime costs money, so we offer priority scheduling, after-hours service, and preventive maintenance contracts designed for commercial use. We work with warehouses, automotive shops, retail stores, and industrial facilities.

What should I do if my garage door won't open?

If your garage door won't open, first check if the opener has power and the remote batteries are fresh. Try the wall button to rule out remote issues. Check if the door is locked – there's usually a manual lock near the handle. Look for any visible obstructions in the track and ensure nothing is blocking the safety sensors. If you hear the motor running but the door doesn't move, the door may have come off the track or a spring may be broken. Do NOT attempt to open a door with a broken spring manually – this is extremely dangerous. Call us immediately for emergency service. Our 30-minute response time means you won't be stranded for long.
