Woburn
In Woburn we work on garage doors of every age and size: single and double residential doors, insulated and uninsulated, wood and steel, plus commercial rolling and sectional doors. The service pages explain the repairs, replacements and installations that apply to each.
Off-Track Garage Door ResetThe morning after a thaw the opener groaned, the door stayed stuck to the icy floor for a second, then lurched up crooked.

Garage Door Manual Lock RepairThe power is out in a storm, you pulled the red cord and lowered the door by hand, and now you want to lock it.Toronto, Ontario
2021 Census
About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
Wiring in an older garage may be a single outlet on the ceiling shared with the light, so a new opener is chosen with that in mind, and a battery backup covers the door during a power cut. The technician looks at the outlet before recommending a unit.
Single-detached houses make up about 23% of homes in Toronto (2021 Census).
Where most residents live in attached homes, a technician's day includes coordinating with neighbours: parking the van without blocking a shared lane, keeping noisy work to reasonable hours, and finishing a door in one visit so the row is not disrupted twice.
You tapped the door with the bumper while backing in, barely a nudge, and now the bottom corner has swung inward. One roller is dangling outside the rail, the section is twisted, and the door will neither rise nor settle flat.
Off-Track Garage Door ResetThe garage doubles as a workshop, and with the heater running the floor near the door stays cold and the draft finds your ankles at the bench. When the wind is up you can feel the air moving under the door.
Garage Door Bottom Seal ReplacementA length of weatherstrip along the right jamb has pulled away, nails and all, and it slaps against the trim every time the wind picks up. The wood behind it is dark and soft where it meets the floor.
Garage Door Perimeter WeatherstripThe door opens about a third of the way and stops. Turning the limit screw on the head has made no difference, and the trolley seems to sit in the wrong place along the rail when the door is fully closed.
Chain-Drive Opener RepairThe small light on one of the sensors near the floor has gone dark, or it flickers when someone walks past the track. The other one glows steadily. The door refuses to close from the car.
Photo-Eye Sensor Alignment or ReplacementThe house came with a controller already screwed to the garage ceiling and a sensor on the door, but the app insists the device belongs to another account. The seller has moved provinces, the emails go unanswered, and every evening the door still reports to a stranger's phone.
Smart Garage Controller SetupA previous owner knotted the release cord around the rail and stacked storage shelves right beneath it. You only discovered this in the dark, with the power off, a flashlight in your teeth and a car that needed to be somewhere.
Emergency Release RepairSeveral sections are dented and the bottom edge has begun to rust. Instead of matching another isolated panel, you are ready to choose a complete insulated steel door with new coordinated hardware.
Insulated Steel Garage Door InstallationThe wall control asks the door to close, but the operator hums and stops. The curtain remains overhead while the control light and the photoelectric sensors suggest that the powered system needs a connected diagnosis.
Commercial Rolling Door RepairYou want to keep the sectional door, but its standard track layout conflicts with a renovation above the parking bay. There is visible room over the opening for the door to climb before it needs to turn inward.
High-Lift Garage Door ConversionNew Doors
Every installation includes the parts nobody sees: the perimeter seal that stops the wind, the threshold that keeps water out, the struts that hold a wide door rigid and the safety cables on extension springs. We fit all of them.
Openers
The motor runs, the chain rattles along the rail, and the door does not move a millimetre. You notice the little carriage sliding back and forth on its own.
The chain in the detached garage went orange with rust over the winter, the links are stiff, and the opener strains and groans to pull the door up. By afternoon, once the garage warms, it behaves almost normally.
The door used to glide up with a soft hum. Now there is a sharp clack every second or so, and if you stand underneath you can see the belt sagging below the rail and slapping it on the way up.
You swapped the old wooden door for a heavier insulated steel one, and the twenty-year-old opener that was kept has never settled. It strains on the way up, stops partway on cold mornings, and the rail shudders with every cycle.
The small light on one of the sensors near the floor has gone dark, or it flickers when someone walks past the track. The other one glows steadily.
Your remote was in the visor when the car was broken into last night. So was the insurance slip with your address on it.
It is February. You come down in the morning and the garage door has stood open all night; the car is frosted inside, the furnace has run without a pause, and the pipe in the shared wall is your first worry.
Halfway up, the door lets go of the opener with a clunk and sinks back to the floor while the trolley carries on to the top alone. It has happened three times this month, and each time the release lever is found half-cocked.

Describe the property, the hardware and what has changed, and the visit starts from what you have seen.
01
Tell us about the problem, the door and a good time to come. We confirm what to expect and roughly how the visit will go.
02
Photo-eyes, the auto-reverse setting and the emergency release are tested on every visit, whatever you called about.
03
We do the agreed repair, explain each part that was changed and why, and run the door with you until you are comfortable with it.
In a reset the rail is sound and the work is putting rollers, cables and sections back where that rail expects them, with minor alignment corrections. In a track repair the rail itself is the problem and must be straightened, re-hung or partly replaced first. One visit can include both, and the technician tells you which you need after looking at the door rather than guessing from the description.
Many homeowners do, and a technician's value lies in the parts that go wrong: identifying the exact profile so the seal seats, freeing a strip that has fused into its channel, spotting a retainer or door-level problem behind the gap, and resetting the opener's limit and force so the door lands gently and still reverses on an obstruction. If you would rather have it measured, fitted and tested in one go, that is what the visit is for.
Four times a year, check for daylight from inside with the lights off and press the fin to feel that it is still soft. Wipe the seal with a damp cloth to clear grit and salt, keep paint off the fin, apply a silicone wipe before winter, and keep slush and bins away from the bottom of the jambs. Press any lifted corner back and call if a length has come loose.
On the interval the opener's own manual calls for, often every two to three years. With the power off, the old grease is wiped from the rail along the path the trolley travels, and a thin layer of white lithium grease is applied in its place. The door is then run a few times so the trolley spreads it. The door's own tracks, where the rollers run, are never greased; they stay clean and dry, and the rollers, hinges and bearings take a garage door lubricant once a year instead.
Start the door closing and, while it is moving, swing a broom handle through the beam low across the opening; the door should halt and travel back up. Next, put a 2x4 flat beneath the door's centre and run the door onto it; it should back off as soon as it touches. If either test fails, close the door first if you can, use it by hand with the manual release, and book a visit; do not release it if it feels heavy.
A photo of the label on the opener and of the learn button, your Wi-Fi network name and password to hand, the phone you will use with the app charged and updated, and the email address the account should live under. If the house came with an existing controller, any paperwork or the seller's contact details help. Knowing which family members need access saves time at the end.
The release itself is a simple mechanical part and is usually worth repairing on any opener that still has parts available. What changes the answer is the opener as a whole: a unit with no photo-eye sensors near the floor predates the current safety standard, and the industry recommends replacing it rather than patching. The technician tells you which case you have, and a new opener comes with a fresh release, cord and handle already set up.
An R-value describes resistance to heat flow under stated test conditions. It is useful only when you know whether the figure applies to insulation material, a section or the complete door assembly. Ask for the published basis for the exact model. Air movement at joints, windows, perimeter seals and floor gaps also affects how the garage feels in real weather.
A marked increase in manual effort often calls for a counterbalance and mechanical-path assessment. Spring setting, barrel bearings, guide friction, curtain damage and drive parts can all contribute. Because the counterbalance contains substantial stored energy, the curtain is secured and the assembly is adjusted with the identified procedure and proper winding tools.
Useful photos show the full inside opening, both track sides, the wall above the header, the complete ceiling run, spring and shaft area, opener, beams, lights and other obstructions. Include a wider image showing the planned vehicle lift or equipment zone. Measurements remain necessary, but clear images help identify questions and prepare an efficient site assessment.
