Residential garage doors
Repair, replacement and service for South Florida homes
A garage door is the largest moving thing in your house and the one part of the facade that works every single day. When it stops working it is usually one component that has failed — a spring, a cable, a roller, a track, a sensor or the opener — rather than the whole door.
We work on residential doors only, across Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding Broward County communities. That means we carry the parts that actually fail on houses like yours, and we tell you honestly when a repair is the right answer and when it is not.

What's wrong with your garage door?
Find the symptom that matches what your door is doing. Each one opens the service that fixes it.
Garage Door Won't Open A snapped spring, a dead opener or a door jammed against the track. Stop pulling on it by hand. Garage Door Won't Close Usually a safety sensor circuit or a door binding on the track, not the opener itself. Broken Garage Door Spring You heard a bang and the door is suddenly immovable. Counterbalance is gone — do not run the opener. Garage Door Off Track The door is crooked, grinding or hanging on one side. Stop using it before the hardware bends further. Garage Door Making Loud Noise Grinding, screeching or a bang on every cycle — dry rollers, worn bearings or slack hardware. Garage Door Opens Unevenly One side lags. Uneven spring tension or a stretched cable, and a sign the door is about to jam. Garage Door Opener Not Working No lights, humming, or a door that moves a few inches and stops. Motor, gear, capacitor or limits. Garage Door Remote Not Working A dead battery, a lost code after a power cut, or a receiver that has finally given up. Garage Door Cable Broken A loose cable hanging by the track, or the door sitting down on one corner. Do not operate the door. Garage Door Panel Damaged A dented or cracked section from a car, a bin or impact. Sometimes one panel can be replaced. Garage Door Sensor Problem Light flashing, door reversing immediately, or refusing to close at all. Alignment, wiring or sun glare. Garage Door Stuck Halfway A broken spring on one side, a jammed roller or a snapped cable. Do not force it back down.

Installation & replacement
Upgrade Your Home With a New Garage Door
A new door changes the front of the house more than any other single improvement, and a correctly specified door runs quieter and seals better than the one it replaced.
- Improved kerb appeal on the biggest surface your street sees
- Modern door styles, materials and finish options
- Better, smoother operation with correctly matched springs
- Improved security through a properly sealing door
- Compatibility with current smart openers and remotes
- Replacement of old or damaged doors that can no longer be matched
Modern
Full-view aluminium and glass, flush panels and clean horizontal lines for contemporary stucco and block homes.
Traditional
Raised-panel steel in white and neutral tones — the standard look on Florida ranch and suburban homes.
Carriage House
Wood-look panels with decorative hinges, pulls and cross-buck detailing for Mediterranean and estate-style facades.
Prices are quoted for your door and opening rather than published as a generic figure, and Florida product approvals are confirmed per door and installation — not claimed in general.
Built for this climate
Garage Doors Built for South Florida Homes
Heat, humidity, salt air and heavy summer rain do more damage to garage door hardware here than almost anywhere else in the country. Springs corrode, cables fray at the drum, seals dry out and crack, and fasteners rust from the bottom of the door upwards.
Coastal Broward properties need the most attention, because airborne salt reaches well inland from the Intracoastal and the beach. That is why an annual service pays for itself here: it catches a corroding cable or a soft spring before it fails.
- Heat and sun: warped wood, dried seals, faded finish on steel doors
- Humidity: corroded springs, hinges, bearings and fasteners
- Salt air near coastal communities: cables, drums and bottom brackets
- Heavy rain: bottom-seal damage and water in the door line
- Storm preparation: balance, track and fastening checked before the season
Whether a specific door carries a Florida product approval depends on the exact model and the installation. For replacements we discuss appropriate Florida-rated options for your property rather than making a blanket claim about any door.

Questions
Garage door questions homeowners ask us
How quickly can you repair a garage door?
It depends on what has failed and when you call. Common failures — a spring, a cable, rollers, a sensor or a track adjustment — are usually repaired on the first visit because the parts are stocked on the van. If your door is stuck open, off the track or unsafe, tell us that when you call: those jobs are prioritised. We give you a realistic arrival window for your address rather than a number we cannot hold to.
What should I do if my garage door spring breaks?
Stop using the door immediately. Unplug the opener or switch the wall control off, keep children and pets clear of the opening, and do not pull the emergency release cord if the door is up. Do not try to lift the door by hand — with the counterbalance gone it carries its full weight. Then call and tell us whether the door is up, down or part way, so we arrive with the right spring for your door.
Why won't my garage door close?
The most common cause is the safety sensor circuit: one sensor knocked out of alignment, a dirty lens, corroded wiring, or direct sun hitting the receiver. With those ruled out, a door binding on the track or an opener reading resistance as an obstruction comes next. A door that stops and reverses immediately after a spring or cable failure is a different problem and needs the counterbalance checked first.
Can you repair garage door openers?
Yes. We repair motors, drive gears, capacitors, logic boards, wall controls, remotes and safety sensors, and we install replacement openers when a unit has genuinely reached the end of its life. We test the door balance first, because an opener that is straining on a heavy or binding door will fail again regardless of how good the new part is.
Do you install new garage doors?
Yes. We supply and install residential garage doors, including modern full-view aluminium and glass, traditional raised-panel steel, and carriage house styles. Every installation starts with a survey of the opening, headroom and backroom, because the door, the springs and the opener have to be specified as one system.
How often should a garage door be serviced?
Once a year for a door in normal use. In South Florida, humidity and salt air accelerate corrosion on springs and cables, so an annual service is a reasonable minimum. A door that is opened and closed many times a day should be checked more often, and any door benefits from a check before storm season.
Do you provide emergency garage door repair in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. We prioritise garage doors that are stuck open, off the track, hanging unsafely, unable to close or blocking a vehicle inside. Call and describe the door position and whether the house can be secured — that determines how quickly we can be there. Our exact hours are [BUSINESS HOURS], and we will tell you honestly on the call whether we can reach you now or in the next available slot.
