What We Repair

Garage Door Repair Guys handles the full range of garage door failures common in Sarasota County homes and businesses. Below are our most requested repair services:

Broken Springs

Torsion and extension springs that support door weight break after 5–15 years of normal use. A broken spring makes the door too heavy to lift and can burn out your opener. We replace springs in pairs, properly balance them, and test the door before leaving.

Opener Repair & Replacement

Electric garage door openers (chain drive, belt drive, screw drive) can fail due to age, power surges, stripped gears, or broken components. We repair and replace LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Wayne Dalton, and other major brands. Often a repair costs less than a full replacement.

Off-Track Doors

If your door derails from the tracks on either side, it can jam, bind, or refuse to open. This is usually caused by bent tracks, damaged rollers, or misaligned hinges. We straighten tracks, replace bent brackets, and realign the door so it slides smoothly.

Broken Cables

Cables that support springs can fray, break, or unwind, causing the door to sag or jam. Broken cables are a safety issue and must be replaced by a professional with the right tools and spring tension control.

Damaged Panels

Weather, impacts, or age can dent, crack, or break individual door panels. We repair or replace single panels without replacing the entire door, saving thousands on Sarasota County homes.

Sensor & Safety Issues

Photo eye sensors, force settings, and travel limits keep the door from crushing people or objects. We diagnose and repair sensor misalignment, wiring problems, and out-of-adjustment force settings.

Roller & Hardware Replacement

Worn rollers cause noise and jerky operation. We replace plastic or steel rollers, hinges, brackets, and hardware to restore smooth, quiet operation.

Weather Seal & Weatherproofing

Damaged weather seals let rain, wind, and insects into your garage. We replace seals and install hurricane-resistant weatherproofing for Sarasota County's tropical storms and salt air.

Garage Door Problems We Solve Fast

If you are experiencing any of these issues in Sarasota County, we can diagnose and repair on the same day in most cases:

• Door won't open or opens only partway – Usually a spring or opener issue.
• Door hangs crooked or lopsided – Often caused by broken springs, bent cables, or misaligned tracks.
• Loud banging, grinding, or squeaking noises – Worn rollers, loose hardware, or failing springs.
• Garage door stuck open or closed – Spring or opener failure, or track obstruction.
• Door closes too slowly or gets stuck halfway – Force setting issues, worn springs, or motor fatigue.
• Opener motor runs but door doesn't move – Broken springs or worn gear.
• Crooked, dented, or cracked panels – Impact damage or age-related wear.
• Weatherstripping is cracked or missing – Allows rain, wind, and pests into garage.
• Roller or hinge failures – Worn hardware causing binding and noise.
• Photo eye sensor not working – Safety issue that prevents the door from closing.
