A garage door can take up a third of what people see from the street. Carriage-house styles, window inserts, colours matched to trim and hardware that suits the era of the home can change the look of a place more than any other single upgrade.

Garage door spring replacement
Every service listed here is done by hand, on site, by a technician who explains as they go. Look through the groups below, or call and describe the problem in your own words; both routes lead to the same place.
Torsion and extension springs, lift cables, drums and bearings.
Everyday faults and the upkeep that prevents them: doors off their track, noisy travel, worn rollers, torn…
A garage door belongs to the architecture. Its movement belongs to your everyday life. We bring both into the conversation.

ServiceTorsion Spring Replacement
Torsion and extension springs, lift cables, drums and bearings. When any of these wears, the opener strains and the door becomes unpredictable. We restore the balance so everything else can relax.
Part 1The panels
From outside, the horizontal groove between two sections now steps sideways by a centimetre. One section has shifted on its hinges after a roller jumped the track, and on the way down the door catches at exactly that point.
Part 2The springs
You heard a sharp bang from the garage, and now the opener hums for a second and gives up. The door lifts a few centimetres at most, then settles back down as if something very heavy is holding it in place.
Part 3The cables
The car bumper kissed the door on the way in. The bottom panel has a dent, the bracket in that corner sits crooked, and the cable on that side has jumped and gone slack, so the door reverses every time it tries to close.
Part 4Tracks and rollers
New springs went in last year and the door balances well, yet it still clicks along the ceiling track like a train over rail joints. The wheels are the originals, worn to an oval, and the noise follows them from one end of the travel to the other.
Part 5The opener
The wall button works every time. The remote only works if you are practically under the door; from the end of the driveway it does nothing at all.

Openers
Old openers earned their keep, but a unit from before photo-eye sensors were fitted has no way to see a child or a pet in the opening. Replacing it is a safety upgrade first and a convenience second.
Door samples
Alongside the doors themselves, this group holds the upgrades that improve an existing one: adding insulation, adding windows, converting the track, replacing the opener or refitting hardware for a smoother, quieter door.

If The door starts to close, then reverses and the opener light blinks.
Then Photo-eye alignment.
The sensors near the floor are out of line or dirty; a clean and re-aim usually restores normal closing.
If The door touches the floor and pops back open.
Then Close-limit adjustment.
The opener thinks it hit something; setting the travel limit correctly stops the bounce.
If The door closes but leaves a gap along the bottom.
Then Bottom seal and limit setting.
A compressed seal or a short travel limit leaves daylight; both are simple to correct. Garage Door Bottom Seal Replacement

Every square is one home in a hundred.
Look above the door with it closed. A torsion spring that has broken shows a clear gap in the coil, and both cables usually go slack together because nothing is turning the shaft. A cable problem tends to show on one side only: a frayed length, a coil of loose cable, or one corner sitting higher. Either way the technician inspects both, since a weak spring is a common reason a cable fails.
They are galvanized aircraft-type wire rope: many fine steel wires twisted into strands, and the strands laid around a core, which gives a cable that bends around a small drum thousands of times without fatiguing. One end carries a swaged stop or a loop for the drum, the other a loop that fits over the bottom bracket pin. Diameter and length are chosen for the door's weight and height.
A light film, yes. A mist of silicone or a lubricant made for garage doors on the cables, especially the lowest stretch near the brackets, sheds moisture and slows rust. Avoid heavy grease or oil, which holds grit and salt against the strands. The springs, hinges, roller bearings and bracket pins take the same product a couple of times a year, and the tracks are simply wiped clean.
Balance means the spring is holding almost exactly the door's weight, so the door neither flies up nor slams down and the opener only guides it. It is tested by releasing the opener, lifting the door to about waist height and letting go: a balanced door stays there. The technician fine-tunes in quarter turns of the spring until the door holds at several heights and travels evenly on both sides.
