Most common issues include broken springs, opener malfunctions, bent tracks, worn rollers, misaligned safety sensors, remote control problems, and noisy operation. Spring failures and opener issues account for about 70% of all garage door repair calls in Virginia Beach.
Yes, extremely dangerous. Garage door springs are under tremendous tension (150-300+ pounds) and can cause serious injury or death if handled improperly. Professional technicians use specialized tools and safety procedures. This is not a DIY repair.
Signs include: garage door won't open or closes very quickly, door feels extremely heavy, visible gap in torsion spring, door hangs crooked, or loud bang when spring breaks. If you suspect a broken spring, don't attempt to operate the door.
Common causes include dead remote batteries, remote needs reprogramming, antenna issues, interference from other devices, or opener motor problems. We can diagnose and fix remote control issues quickly, often during the same visit.
Bent tracks result from impact damage, worn rollers causing binding, improper installation, or attempting to manually lift a door with broken springs. In Virginia Beach, high winds can also cause track damage if the door isn't properly balanced.
Annual maintenance is recommended, especially in Virginia Beach's coastal environment. Salt air accelerates wear and corrosion. Regular service includes lubrication, hardware tightening, balance testing, and safety feature inspection to prevent major problems.

Salt air causes accelerated corrosion of springs, tracks, hardware, and opener components. Humidity affects wood doors and electrical connections. High winds stress all components. We use marine-grade lubricants and corrosion-resistant parts for coastal durability.
Consider replacement if repair costs exceed 50% of replacement cost, the door is over 15-20 years old with multiple problems, significant structural damage exists, or you want to upgrade to modern safety features and smart home integration.
