Common signs that your garage door may need repair include: The door makes strange noises when opening or closing. It opens or closes unevenly or slowly. The door won’t open or close at all. The door is off track. You notice broken springs, cables, or rollers. If you're experiencing any of these issues, it’s best to call a professional to inspect and repair your garage door.

We recommend scheduling a professional maintenance check at least once a year. Regular maintenance can prevent unexpected breakdowns, increase the lifespan of your door, and keep it functioning efficiently. If your garage door is used frequently, bi-annual maintenance may be necessary.

While there are some simple maintenance tasks you can do yourself, like cleaning and lubricating the door, garage door repairs often require specialized tools and knowledge. Attempting repairs without experience can be dangerous, especially when dealing with high-tension springs and cables. We recommend contacting a professional to ensure safety and proper repair.

The duration of the repair depends on the type and severity of the issue. Most minor repairs, such as fixing a broken spring or replacing a sensor, can be completed in about an hour. More extensive repairs or replacements may take a few hours. We’ll give you an estimated timeline when we assess the issue.

The cost of repairs can vary depending on the type of issue, the parts that need to be replaced, and the complexity of the job. At Devon Tripp Services, we offer competitive pricing and will provide you with a clear, upfront estimate before any work begins.
