A high-lift conversion raises the door's horizontal track toward the ceiling, freeing the space above a car for a hoist or storage. We rework the tracks, drums and springs for the new travel and fit a jackshaft opener beside the door.

We do those checks as a set, so the door is ready for the season rather than surprised by it.

Garage door spring replacement
Think of this page as a map of the door. Start at the part that worries you, and follow it to the service page that describes the fix, the parts involved and how a door usually runs afterwards.
Garage doors with extension springs need pulleys and safety cables in good condition.
Small hardware has a big influence.
A garage door belongs to the architecture. Its movement belongs to your everyday life. We bring both into the conversation.

ServiceOff-Track Garage Door Reset
Garage doors with extension springs need pulleys and safety cables in good condition. Worn pulleys chew through cables, and missing safety cables are a hazard. We renew these parts alongside the springs whenever we work on that style of door.
Part 1The panels
Rust has crept along the bottom edge of the lowest section. What began as bubbling paint is now a soft, flaking strip, the seal retainer is working loose, and a screwdriver pressed against the worst spot goes through the steel.
Part 2The springs
You heard a sharp bang from the garage, and now the opener hums for a second and gives up. The door lifts a few centimetres at most, then settles back down as if something very heavy is holding it in place.
Part 3The cables
After years of slushy winters the cables look thinner near the bottom brackets, with rust streaks running down the door where they attach. The door still works, but the frayed wires catch your glove when you brush past.
Part 4Tracks and rollers
One of the little wheels along the edge of the door has a chunk missing, another sits crooked in its hinge, and there is a fine grey dust on the floor under the track where plastic has been wearing away.
Part 5The opener
The door goes up perfectly. Coming down is the trouble: partway to the floor it stops, climbs back to the top, and the light on the opener blinks at you.

Battery backup keeps the door working through a power failure. If your household has been stuck outside in a storm, a replacement opener with a backup battery, or adding one where the model allows, is worth talking through.
Door samples
When the old door comes down, everything that carried it goes with it: the tracks, the springs, the cables and the rollers. A new door on old hardware is a compromise, and we do not install that way.

Then Cable and drum reset.
One cable has usually slipped off its drum; the door needs to be secured before it is re-seated. Garage Door Cable Replacement

Before winter, a door benefits from a specific set of checks: seals that resist freezing to the slab, lubricant rated for the cold, springs inspected for rust and fatigue, and opener force adjusted for a door that will be stiffer in January. We do those…
Step 1 of 5
Describe the property, the hardware and what has changed, and the visit starts from what you have seen.
Step 2 of 5
Whether you call or send the form, we ask a few questions: door type, opener make if you know it, and what changed. That shapes the visit.
Step 3 of 5
Ask why a spring broke, what a roller does, whether the opener is worth keeping. Clear answers are part of the service.
Step 4 of 5
Vehicles moved back, packaging removed, floor cleaned. The only change you notice is a door that runs properly.
Step 5 of 5
We show you the wear, describe the choices and their consequences, and support whichever route you pick.

Every square is one home in a hundred.
It is better to leave the door where it is and use another way in and out. Running the opener against a crooked or cable-slack door tends to tangle the cable further, twist the top section and knock the door out of its track, which adds to the repair. Pull nothing and adjust nothing; simply keep the opening clear and let the technician take it from there.
Always. Cables and springs are one system, and a spring that is weak, mismatched or wound short is a frequent reason a cable goes slack in the first place. The technician looks for breaks, measures the spring against the door weight, and confirms the correct number of turns when winding back. If a spring needs replacing, that is explained and offered as its own decision rather than folded in unannounced.
A light film, yes. A mist of silicone or a lubricant made for garage doors on the cables, especially the lowest stretch near the brackets, sheds moisture and slows rust. Avoid heavy grease or oil, which holds grit and salt against the strands. The springs, hinges, roller bearings and bracket pins take the same product a couple of times a year, and the tracks are simply wiped clean.
A picture of the full spring assembly above the door, showing the centre bracket, both drums and how many springs there are, tells the technician a great deal. Add a close shot of the broken spring gap and any tag or colour marking on the cones, a photo of the cables at the bottom brackets, and one of the opener. These help confirm the door's configuration so the right springs and hardware are on the truck.
