    If it just broke

    What should you do if your garage door won't open?

    Stop pressing the button and don't lift the door by hand, because a broken spring or cable can drop it. Send a photo of the springs and the bottom corners of the door, and say if your car is stuck inside.

    Common questions

    How does a text quote work?

    Send 2 or 3 photos: the whole door from inside, the springs above it, and the opener if that's the problem. You'll get a price back by text. If the photos don't show enough, you'll get a price for a diagnostic visit instead of a guess.

    Is the price I get by text the final price?

    Yes, as long as the door matches the photos. If something different turns up on site, you get the new price before any work starts.

    My car is stuck in the garage. Can you come today?

    Say so in your request, and it's handled as urgent. If I can't get there fast enough, I'll tell you right away.

    Yes. Bowling Green and the rest of Wood County north of it are in the service area. Send photos and you will get a price and an arrival window.
