Garage door
broken?

What is it doing?

Tell Sloan
what’s happening.

Most garage door problems announce themselves. A bang from the garage, a door that lifts a foot and quits, a cable hanging loose. Describe the symptom over the phone and you’ll get a straight read on what it likely is before anyone drives out.

  • Broken spring

    Loud bang, door won't lift, gap in the coil.

  • Opener trouble

    Motor runs, nothing moves. Or nothing at all.

  • Frayed cable

    Door hangs crooked or drops on one side.

  • Worn rollers

    Grinding, shuddering, sticking mid-travel.

  • Off the track

    Door bound up in the rails after an impact.

  • Loud operation

    Rattle and screech that got worse over time.

The guy who answers
is the guy
who shows up.

There is no call center between you and the work. Sloan takes the call, does the troubleshooting, and stands behind what he installed. If a repair isn’t worth doing, he’ll say so — that’s the whole point of working with one person instead of a franchise.

    Cables, rollers & tracks

    The hardware that makes a door feel smooth instead of violent.

How a door actually works

The opener doesn’t lift the door. The spring does.

A sectional door is a counterweight system. The torsion spring stores the energy, the drums and cables carry the panels, and the opener only nudges a balanced door along the track. When something feels heavy or violent, the balance is off — and that’s a spring, cable or roller conversation, not an opener one.

  • Torsion spring & shaft
  • Cable drums
  • Lift cables
  • Tracks & rollers

I had two garage doors on a home I purchased that were rather loud. One had a loose chain that was visibly hitting and rubbing causing a lot of the noise. Conner came out, assessed the issues with both doors and provided an estimate quickly. I ended up having a tuneup done on both doors and now both are operating normally again. Conner took his time to adjust and lubricate all of the moving parts, sensors etc. My doors are much quieter now and operate as I would expect. The price was reasonable, Conner was very respectful, clean and hard working. I highly recommend Sloan's garage door repair and would use again if the need arises.

Conner did a fab job, was quoted from 2 different companys to repair my garage door, they were in the $1500.00 range, he came and under $200.00 repaired the garage door. So happy with the job done and with his service ethics.
