Can my garage door opener be repaired?

Why is my garage door not opening?
The most common reason for a garage door not opening correctly is having broken garage door springs or a broken garage door opener. If you’re in need of garage door repair, let Dodson Garage Doors come and take a look at your overhead door today!
What causes garage door springs to break?
Garage door spring replacement is one of the most common garage door repair services. These springs last typically 7 to 12 years and work together with your garage door opener to open and close your garage door. The constant weight of the door is what causes your garage door springs to wear down and eventually break.
Can I replace garage door springs by myself?
Dodson Garage Doors recommends that you never attempt to repair garage door springs yourself. Broken garage door springs can hold a lot of built-up tension from constantly lifting your garage door. If messed with by an untrained pro, the garage door springs could snap back and injure you, or cause even more damage and broken parts on your overhead door.
What garage door openers do you install?
Dodson Garage Doors only offers top-of-the-line products. As such, we offer a full line of LiftMaster openers for all of our clients in the Greater Birmingham area.
Why is my garage door crooked?
Your garage door is unbalanced most likely because you have a broken garage door spring. If you notice that your garage door isn’t closing fully or is opening at an angle, contact us for a garage repair or maintenance appointment.
What is done during garage door maintenance?
During garage door maintenance, we balance the garage door, tighten all of your garage’s screws and nuts, check to see if anything looks like it’s about to break down, and lubricate your components. We highly recommend annual garage door maintenance to all our customers to increase the lifespan of your garage door and parts.
How expensive will it be to fix my garage door?
The price depends on the service you need to have done. Typically this range is between $100 to $700. We make sure that all of our prices are completely transparent, so there aren’t any hidden fees when it comes to payment.
How to repair a garage door that is out of the track?
If you have a garage door off track, call Dodson Garage Doors immediately. Our highly-skilled technicians are able to restore your overhead door and put it back on track on the very first visit, providing any replacement parts from springs to rollers to garage door panels.
Why is my remote not working?
If your garage door remote isn’t working, it may be because of the battery not working, a defective transmitter, or your garage door opener may be having issues. If your remote still isn’t working after replacing the batteries, give us a call and we’ll be out to inspect the issue.

If my garage door is damaged, do I need to replace just one panel or the entire door?
