Sometimes it will be obvious that you need garage door repair, while other times, not so much. Bigger signs include your garage door refusing to move, slamming shut, or moving on its own. If your garage door opens and then reverses, or even moves slowly, it needs garage repair. Also, keep your ears open for any strange, grinding noises. This is a big sign that your garage door parts need some attention.

Garage door repair costs usually fall between $150 and $700, depending on the extent of damage and if anything needs to be replaced. If the cost of repair is nearing the cost of replacement, especially for garage door panel replacement or a similar service, we will work with you to find the best option for your home. 

Insurance usually does not cover garage door repair, but it depends on your policy and the reason the damage occurred. Most routine failures, like worn springs, aging rollers, or normal mechanical breakdown, are considered maintenance items and typically aren’t covered. One common exception is damage tied to severe weather, because that can fall under a covered event depending on your provider. If you’re unsure, we recommend checking your specific policy language or calling your insurance agent for clarification.

Even when insurance isn’t involved, we’ll help you understand the repair scope and what it takes to restore safe performance. If a door has visible impact damage or storm-related issues, we can document what we find so you have clear details for your own records. Regardless of coverage, the priority is making sure the door is stable, balanced, and operating correctly. After service, we run full cycle tests so you can confidently use the door again without worrying about sudden reversals or unsafe movement.

Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency garage door repair in the Belgrade, MT and Bozeman, MT area, which is especially helpful when your door is stuck, unsafe, or won’t secure the opening. Emergencies often include broken springs, snapped cables, off-track doors, or a door that’s jammed in a partially open position. When that happens, it’s not just inconvenient; it can become a safety and security problem quickly. Calling as soon as you notice an emergency helps reduce the chance of additional damage from repeated operation.

When we respond to emergency calls, we focus on getting the door stable first, then fixing the underlying cause. That means we don’t just “get it moving” and leave; you should have a door that works correctly and safely when we’re done. We’ll inspect the components involved, explain the repair plan, and complete the fix as efficiently as possible. If the emergency also caused secondary issues (like track damage after a cable failure), we’ll identify that so the repair holds up.

If your garage door is off-track, stop using it immediately and keep the area clear. An off-track door can scrape, bind, or shift unexpectedly, and forcing it can bend the tracks or damage panels. This problem is often related to cable issues, worn rollers, or alignment problems that let the rollers pop out of the track. Even if the opener still runs, the door may be unsafe to move.

We’ll secure the door first, reset the rollers properly, and then solve the root cause so it doesn’t derail again. If the cables are loose or damaged, we address that before cycling the system. If the track is bent or the hardware is loosening, we correct alignment and reinforce stability. After repairs, we test multiple open/close cycles to confirm the door tracks smoothly and stays seated.

Yes, we replace garage door springs, and spring service is one of the most important repairs to handle promptly. Springs carry much of the door’s weight, so when they weaken or break, the door can feel extremely heavy, lift unevenly, or stop moving entirely. You may notice the door opening halfway and stopping, loose cables, or a visible gap in the spring coils. Because springs are high-tension components, it’s safest not to attempt DIY spring work.

After replacing the spring(s), we balance the door so it lifts evenly and doesn’t strain the opener. We also inspect related parts like cables and rollers, because spring failure can affect them too. Once the system is tuned correctly, the door should move smoother, quieter, and more consistently. Before we finish, we cycle-test the door and verify safe operation from fully closed to fully open.

We do, we handle garage door opener repair, including situations where the door won’t open, the keypad isn’t working, or the system behaves inconsistently. Opener issues can show up as delayed response, random stops, or a door that starts to close and reverses. Sometimes the problem is inside the opener, and sometimes the opener is reacting to resistance from the door hardware. That’s why we always look at both the opener system and the door movement.

Once we identify the cause, we repair the correct component so you’re not stuck with the same problem again next week. We also confirm the opener isn’t being overloaded by an unbalanced door, because that can shorten opener life. After repairs, we test operation with the wall button, remotes, and keypad (if applicable). The goal is simple: consistent performance every time you use the door.

A garage door that opens unevenly or at an angle is usually dealing with an uneven lift condition, often tied to cable problems, spring imbalance, or roller/track issues. You might notice one side rising faster than the other, the door rubbing the track, or shaking during travel. This can quickly lead to an off-track situation if the system keeps running while misaligned. For safety, it’s best to stop using the door until the cause is inspected.

We’ll inspect cable tension, spring condition, roller wear, and track alignment to determine what’s pulling the door out of level. Then we correct the imbalance so both sides lift together smoothly. After the repair, we run multiple cycles to confirm stable tracking and even movement. A properly balanced door also protects the opener, because the motor isn’t fighting a crooked, binding load.
