Question 3

Can I replace a garage door spring myself?

Accepted Answer

We strongly advise against DIY spring replacement. Torsion springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury if mishandled. Our licensed technicians have the tools and training to do this safely.

Question 4

How long do garage door springs last?

Accepted Answer

Standard springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles (one cycle = one open and one close). For a door used 4 times per day, that's roughly 7 years. High-cycle springs rated for 25,000+ cycles are available.

Question 5

My garage door is noisy — what's causing it?

Accepted Answer

Common causes include worn rollers, dry hinges, loose hardware, and worn springs. Lubrication often helps, but worn rollers are the most common culprit. We can diagnose and fix the issue on a same-day visit.

Question 6

Do you service all garage door opener brands?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we service all major brands including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Marantec, and SOMMER. We carry common parts on the truck for same-visit repair.

Question 7

How do I know if my garage door needs repair or replacement?

Accepted Answer

If the door is under 12 years old and the damage is limited to one or two components, repair is usually the better value. If the door is over 15 years old, multiple components are failing, or you want improved insulation, replacement may be more economical. We give honest assessments.

Question 8

Do you offer commercial garage door repair?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we service commercial roll-up doors, sectional overhead doors, storefront doors, and high-speed doors. 24/7 emergency response is available for commercial clients.

Question 9

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve Surrey and the entire Lower Mainland — including Langley, White Rock, Delta, Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Richmond, and Vancouver.

Question 10

Do you offer a warranty on repairs?

Accepted Answer

Yes — all parts and labour are warranted. Ask our technician for warranty details specific to your repair.
