Garage door repair in Fraser, and installation when a door is done
A garage door that has stopped working falls into one of two groups. Either one part has failed and the rest of the door is in good shape, or the door has worn out as a whole and each repair only delays the next failure. Garage door repair in Fraser begins with working out which group yours is in. A broken spring, a cable off its drum, or a stripped roller is a repair. Panels that are cracked through, sections that have bowed, or a frame that has rotted at the bottom point toward a new door.
Fraser is a city in Macomb County and a northern suburb of Detroit. That puts it in the same freeze and thaw weather as the rest of southeast Michigan, and a door that opens and closes through those swings gives its springs, tracks and weatherstripping a workout. We repair what can be repaired, and when we say a door should be replaced, we show you the damage that led us there.
Before we touch anything we go over the whole system. If the trouble is the motor rather than the door, opener repair is its own job and we handle it once the door itself moves freely. Warren Garage Door Co is locally owned and operated, and our technicians are uniformed and explain the problem before starting.
Repair or install
Repair or install: what we look at to decide
Spring and cable condition
Springs and cables are the most common failures and the most repairable. If the rest of the door is sound, a new spring and cable set brings it back to full working order.
Panel and section damage
A dent in one panel can be dealt with. Cracks that run across several sections weaken the door, and then installation of a new door is the better plan.
Track alignment
We sight down each track and check the mounting to the wall. Bent tracks are straightened, and badly crushed ones are replaced.
Door age and repeat repairs
A door that needs a new part every season is telling you something. We go over what each repair would involve against what a new door would involve.
Opener fit
A new door must match the opener that lifts it. We check that the opener is rated for the door's weight and that the travel is set correctly after any work.
Opening and framing
Installation depends on the opening. We look at the frame, the header and the side jambs for rot or movement before we plan a new door.

Describe what the door is doing

-
We come to Fraser and inspect
The technician checks the hardware, tests the balance, and looks over the panels and frame.
-
You get the findings and the price first
We explain whether repair or a new door makes sense and give an upfront quote before any work begins.
-
We repair or install, then test
Once you agree, we do the work and run the door through its full travel, checking balance and the reverse function before we leave.
