FAQ

Common questions

Are the technicians licensed and insured?

We connect you with independent local garage door pros. Louisiana contractors are licensed or registered through the LSLBC, and our guide shows how to check a company.

Does calling commit me to anything?

No. The estimate carries no obligation. You decide after you have a price.

My door will not open and my car is inside in Alexandria. What now?

Do not keep pressing the opener. Most doors have a red emergency release cord that disconnects the opener, but if a spring is broken the door will be very heavy. Lift it only with help, or wait for the technician.

Does humidity damage garage doors in Alexandria?

Yes. Moisture speeds up rust on springs, cables, rollers and hinges. Lubricating moving parts and replacing corroded springs before they break keeps the door working safely.

Why did my garage door spring break in Alexandria?

Springs wear out with use, and rust from humid air speeds that up. A loud bang and a door that will not lift usually means a broken spring. Spring replacement is dangerous and should be done by a technician.
