Question 1

How quickly can you fix my noisy operation?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, we can fix noisy garage door operation during a single service visit, typically within 1-2 hours. Noisy operation is usually caused by worn rollers, loose hardware, or lack of lubrication - all of which we can address immediately. We carry common replacement parts on our service vehicles, so there's rarely a need for follow-up visits. For same-day service, call us before 2 PM and we can often arrive within hours.

Question 2

What causes noisy operation in garage doors?

Accepted Answer

Noisy garage door operation can be caused by several factors: worn or damaged rollers (especially metal rollers without bearings), loose nuts, bolts, or screws throughout the door system, lack of proper lubrication on moving parts, worn hinges that need replacement, an unbalanced door putting strain on the opener, or track misalignment causing the door to scrape or bind. Age and weather exposure also contribute to noise issues. Our technicians will diagnose the exact cause and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
