New door going in? We set the tracks level, tension the springs to the door weight, and dial in the opener travel so it runs quiet from day one. Steel, wood, and insulated doors installed for Wilmington homes and small commercial bays.
View service 03Garage Door Opener Repair

Problems we solve
Garage Door Problems We Fix In Wilmington
Most calls come down to a handful of failures. Here is what we see most and how we handle it.
Door will not open and the opener just hums
That hum is usually a stripped gear or a dead capacitor, not a whole new opener. We pull the cover, replace the gear and sprocket kit or the capacitor, re-grease the drive, and test the travel. Most of these are fixed the same visit.
Loud bang from the garage and the door will not lift
That is a broken torsion spring. We match the wire gauge and cycle rating to your door, wind the new spring with proper bars, and rebalance the door so the opener is not straining. Do not run the opener until it is fixed.
Door reverses for no reason or will not close
Nine times out of ten it is the safety sensors. We check alignment, clean the lenses, test the wiring, and confirm the reverse works to UL 325 spec. If a sensor is dead, we replace it on the spot.
Door came off track after backing into it
An off-track door is dangerous, so we secure it first. Then we inspect the rollers, brackets, and track, straighten or replace what bent, and reset the door so it rolls true. We test the full cycle before we leave.
Notes from local customers
What Wilmington Customers Say
Our torsion spring snapped on a Sunday morning and the door was stuck open. They came out the same day, had the right spring on the truck, and had us closing again by early afternoon. Fair price and no upsell on a new opener.
I called three places and these guys were the only ones who could come out that day. The tech showed me the stripped gear and replaced just that instead of selling me a whole new motor. Door runs quieter than it has in years.
We manage a few rental properties near the Riverfront and use them for all the garage calls. They are quick, they text when they are on the way, and the invoices are clear. That is all I need.
Good work on the cable replacement, though they were about an hour later than the window they gave me. Once the tech got here he was fast and explained everything. Door has been fine since.
Our bottom seal was shot and water was getting in every storm. They replaced the seal and the weather stripping and also tightened up a loose track bracket I did not even know was an issue. Garage stays dry now.
