How Our Garage Door Repair Process Works in Newton MA
Here is what to expect from your first call to the tested repair. Final details are confirmed when you book.
The steps from first call to finished repair
- You call or send a request. Tell us what the door did and when.
- We ask a few short questions. We want to know the door type and what you heard or saw. Photos help.
- We book a visit. For urgent problems we book the earliest visit the schedule allows.
- We inspect the whole door. We check the springs and cables and rollers and tracks and hinges. We also check the balance.
- We explain what we found and give you the price. Nothing starts until you say yes.
- We make the repair and test the door. We check that it lifts evenly and that the opener and safety sensors work.
- We show you what to watch for so small problems do not turn into big ones.
What to do before we arrive
- Keep everyone away from the door and the springs.
- Do not try to lift a door that will not open on its own. A broken spring makes it heavy.
- Take a photo of the spring and the cables if you can reach them safely.
- Make sure we can get to the garage. Clear a path to the door.
What we need to know when you call
- The street or village in Newton
- Whether the door is open or closed
- What you heard or saw
- Whether the door has one spring above it or springs along the sides
Common questions
Do I need to be home?
Someone should be there to let us into the garage and to approve the work.
Can you give a price over the phone?
We can describe what a repair usually involves. The firm price comes after we see the door.
What if my door is stuck closed with the car inside?
Call us. Do not force the door. A stuck door often means a broken spring or cable.
