Do you have questions about garage door repairs and replacements? Review these commonly asked questions to keep your garage doors safe and in good condition.
You can often replace just one section of a garage door. However, it depends on the amount of damage and if a replacement part is available. If the damage is too extensive, replacing the whole door will make more economic sense. If your garage door is relatively new, you can likely get by with a replacement panel.
Sometimes the issue is simple, like your garage doors are on vacation or lock mode. Check the opener buttons on your wall and look for a blinking light. You can push it for a few seconds to turn off the locking feature.
If lock mode isn’t your problem, your garage door remote batteries may have died. If you’ve tried replacing the batteries and the remote still doesn’t work, call a professional for assistance right away.
If torsion or extension springs become damaged or broken, these issues can prevent the door from opening. There may also be problems with the tracks or cables.
However, you could potentially have a problem with the garage door opener. In this case, you’ll want to disconnect the opener and try to open the door manually. Always contact a professional for help with garage door opener, spring, cable and track repair.
If your garage door won’t open at all or only opens partway, you should visually examine the springs. If something looks broken or damaged, call a technician quickly. You may also notice squeaking noises if there’s an issue with the springs. A crooked garage door and dangling cables can also inform you of broken springs.
In modern garage doors, sensors prevent a door from closing all the way as a safety mechanism. If an item is blocking the door, such as a toy, tool or another object, the door won’t close until you move it.
However, if nothing is blocking the door, the sensors may be misaligned. Your door might start moving up or down, then immediately reverse. If this is the problem, you should contact a professional for assistance with realignment.
You should consider several factors when deciding whether repairing or replacing is a better option. Think about the age of your door, the type of damage and how much it will cost to fix. If the repair costs outweigh the price of a new door, it may be time to find a replacement.

Definitely recommend! They installed a new garage door for us quickly at a reasonable price. They came back in the spring when we had trouble with our sensors and adjusted them for free. Would use them again.
I needed my garage door repaired in a hurry, and these guys wasted no time in getting out and getting it done! Fast, Professional and reasonable rates. I highly recommend Ingstrup.
Ingstrup Construction has done 2 garage jobs for me at 2 different houses. Both times Eric and his men were prompt, professional, and effective. I could tell right away that these guys know everything about garage doors. Eric explained the job and the costs clearly. He and his crew did excellent work. I am really happy with the outcomes. I call Eric if I have any problem with my garage doors or openers. Great work, fair price, honest man.
Chuck and Bill did an amazing job with my new Clopay door. They arrived when scheduled, and made short work of removing the old door and hardware. I now have a great-looking, quiet, and weatherproof door that I’m very satisfied with. 5 stars! Thank you!
When the spring on my garage door broke, I called Ingstrup Garage Door and Opener. I asked them to call me, and they called when I asked them to call. They arrived when they said they would and did a great job at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend them.
Highly recommend! They repaired my garage door within minutes when another company had quoted me to get a whole new door! As a female, I really appreciate them not trying to rip me off and answering all my questions so that I felt comfortable and satisfied! I wish every home repair was this painless! Can’t say enough good things about this experience!
A torsion spring snapped in super cold weather. Called Ingstrups, and someone fixed it on the same day. Reasonably priced. Great service. Thanks!
Two pleasant gentlemen that got my garage door back on track. They were quick and the same day service was a plus.
