A stuck or broken garage door is not something to live with. Affordable Garage Doors sends out trained technicians who diagnose the real problem and fix it right.
Our Garage Door Repair Services
Garage Door Installation
This includes the installation of a new garage door. Includes the door itself, the track, cables, springs, hinges, handles, locks and rollers. It is the complete service and installation of a new door. We inspect all the parts, make adjustments to fit your garage opening, and service all elements during the installation process. Plus, we check to ensure all parts are in proper working order after installed.
Electric Garage Door Openers
Service and repair of the electric garage door opener itself, including the lift mechanism that pulls the door up and guides it down. This is typically not part of the garage door itself and is serviced and repaired on its own interval. Typical service includes inspection, repair, adjustment, and lubrication if needed. Also, we typically inspect the mounting of the unit as well as its attachment to the door itself.
Garage Door Torsion Spring Replacement
A torsion spring generates energy by being wound around a shaft rather than stretching to provide lift of the door. This can be a very dangerous repair for an untrained person. We recommend calling one of our technicians to your home to repair or service anything having to do with your springs.
Repair Sagging Garage Doors
As doors and homes age, they can shift and move and sometimes this results in a garage door that needs to be realigned or reinforced. We will send a technician to your home to adjust the doors and to inspect the entire opening to make sure the door isn’t damaged. Once we understand the problem, we will fix the needed parts and make any adjustments to the door.
Planned Maintenance
Same as above but includes up to 3 doors and openers. This gives you peace of mind that your garage door is functioning properly and ensures you will have annual coverage by our well trained technicians.
Garage Door Cable and Broken Spring Replacement
Sometimes packaged together since the cable is used to connect the spring to the door. They are steel and rust or wear out over time so we can replace these as needed.
Garage Door Replacement
The same type of repair as above except we include the removal and haul away of the old garage door and replaced parts.
Repair Off-Track Garage Doors
Service and repair of rollers that have come out of their guide tracks when the door is at risk of falling or collapsing.
Garage Door Panel Replacement
Sometimes a section is damaged but the rest of the door is fine. We can replace just one section rather than the entire door.
Garage Door Roller Replacement
The guide wheel sometimes will leave the tracks. These can be replaced when they are old and have worn out or simply upgraded to nylon rollers to run quieter.
Sectional Garage Door Replacements
Same as replacing a garage door, but in this case, is particular to sectional garage doors in need of repair or replacement.
Garage Door Tune-up and Safety Inspections
Comprehensive check where our technicians will evaluate, make minor adjustments, minor repairs and lube the door. This adds to the life of the door if done on an annual basis.
Wireless Key Pads
Sometimes the battery operated remotes need programming or repair. Our technicians can help you reset these or you can read instructions for keypad programming here on our website.
Additional Remotes
If you are in need of additional remotes, our service technicians are happy to help you program to match your current garage door opener.
Why Choose Us for Garage Door Repair?
Affordable Garage Doors has been repairing and installing doors across Alabama since 2007. A few things about how the company actually operates set it apart from a typical local repair outfit.
- Each service area has its own direct line, so calls go straight to the team covering that location instead of a shared call center.
- Torsion springs are handled only by trained technicians, since they’re wound under enough tension to cause serious injury if released the wrong way.
- A single damaged panel gets replaced instead of the whole door and the same careful approach applies to sagging doors, where the full opening is checked before any fix is made.
- New doors and replacement panels come through Clopay and Amarr as an authorized dealer, so manufacturer warranties actually apply.
- Annual tune-ups and planned maintenance cover up to three doors along with catching worn rollers and loose hardware before they turn into a breakdown.
- Technicians are licensed and insured and the company holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
Signs You Need a Garage Door Repair
Garage doors usually show a warning sign before they break down completely. Here’s what to watch for and what it means.
- The opener runs but the door stays put. This usually means a gear inside the opener is stripped or the chain has come loose.
- A loud pop, then the door feels heavy to lift. This is a broken spring. The door may also stop staying open by itself.
- The door looks crooked or sits unevenly. This means it has slipped off its track or a cable has worn through on one side. Do not try to push it back into place.
- The door sags in the middle. This means the opening has shifted a little over time and the door needs to be realigned.
- One panel is dented or cracked. This does not always mean the whole door needs replacing. Often just that one panel gets swapped out.
- Grinding or squeaking that does not stop after oiling it. This usually points to worn rollers or loose hardware, not a lubrication problem.
- Remote or keypad stops working. This is sometimes just a low battery and sometimes needs reprogramming.
