Do you work on driveway gates as well as garage doors?

Yes. Swing and sliding driveway gates, pedestrian entry gates and the operators that move them are a regular part of the work, alongside overhead garage doors. If both the door and the gate act up, mention it on the call and one visit can cover the pair.

What hours can I reach you?

Someone picks up around the clock, every day of the week, including holidays. Call when the problem shows up; we'll talk through the symptoms and set up a visit at a time that works for you.

My door got very heavy all of a sudden. What happened?

Most often a torsion spring has broken. Springs carry nearly all of the door's weight, so once one snaps, the opener and your arms are lifting the full load. Check the coil on the bar over the opening; a split coil confirms it. Leave the door down and see our spring service page.

Is it worth repairing an old opener?

Sometimes. A worn gear, a bad sensor or a failed logic board can often be fixed. If the unit has no photo-eye safety system, the motor is failing, or parts are hard to source, a new opener usually makes more sense. The tech will lay out both paths.

Which towns do you cover?

Towns in eight counties: Hudson (Jersey City, Hoboken, Bayonne and the rest), Bergen (Hackensack, Paramus, Fort Lee, Wyckoff, Oakland), Passaic (Paterson, Clifton), Essex (Newark), Morris (Morristown, Parsippany, Whippany), Somerset (Basking Ridge), Union (Elizabeth, Summit, Plainfield) and Middlesex (New Brunswick, Perth Amboy). Nearby and not listed? Call and ask.

Can you fit a garage door into a garage with low headroom?

Often, yes. Older garages in towns like Hoboken, Jersey City and Elizabeth tend to have little space above the opening. Low-headroom track kits, a rear-mounted torsion setup or a wall-mount opener can make a standard overhead door fit. We measure first and tell you which options will work before you order anything.
