Garage door problems we handle in Westwood
Most calls start with a symptom and not a part name. Find yours below. Each service has its own page with full detail.
The door will not lift or feels very heavy. Often a broken spring or cable. Do not force it. See spring repair and cable repair.
The door is crooked or came off its track. It needs a careful reset and not a push. See off-track repair.
The opener runs but the door will not move. The opener may be fine. Blinking lights point to the sensors. See opener repair.
The door is loud or shaky or slow. Worn rollers and dry hinges are common causes. See noisy door repair.
A panel is dented or cracked. We look at whether one panel or the whole door is the better fix. See panel repair.
The door is stuck with a car inside or the garage is open. Call right away. See emergency repair.
You want a new door or a new opener. See new door installation and opener installation.
Why a proper diagnosis comes first
A garage door works as a system. The springs lift the door. The cables carry the load. The tracks and rollers guide it. The opener only moves it along. A door that will not move may have a perfectly good opener. Replacing the wrong part costs you money and leaves the real fault in place. We look at the whole door before we suggest a fix.
What to tell us when you call
- Your street in Westwood and whether the garage is attached or detached
- Whether the door is open or closed or stuck partway
- What you heard or saw such as a bang or a gap in a spring or a frayed cable
- Whether the springs sit above the door or along its sides
- The opener brand if you know it
- A photo of the springs and cables if you can take one safely
These answers help us plan the visit before we arrive.

The full steps are on our process page.
What affects the price of a repair
A firm price comes after we see the door. These things move it: which part has failed and how many parts need work. The weight and size of the door. The spring type and rating. How easy the garage is to reach. Damage to the tracks or opener on top of the original fault. Ask for the price before you approve anything. Our guide to what affects spring repair cost goes deeper.
Repair or replace?
Most faults are repair jobs. A new spring or cable or set of rollers keeps a sound door working. Replacement makes more sense when panels are badly damaged or the door is worn out. We will tell you plainly which fits. See when to replace a garage door or the new door installation page.

Garages in Westwood homes
Westwood was part of Dedham until 1897. If your garage is attached to the house the door is probably a sectional door that lifts on springs. Those springs wear a little with every open and close. Do not try to lift a door that will not open on its own. If the garage stands apart from the house tell us when you call. Access to a detached garage can change how we plan the visit.
