Garage Door Opener Repair
Diagnosing common garage door and garage door opener issues
Open the garage door and what’s that squawking noise?
Statistics say the typical garage door opens around 4 times every day, which is close to around 1,500 times each year. That’s a lot of wear and tear. Something is bound to break or need to be replaced eventually.
But that’s okay. That’s where we come in.
If you think your garage door or door opener may be malfunctioning or completely broken, give us a call and our team from Garage Solutions VA will fix it promptly (or replace it) and take away the guesswork for you.
But if you’re curious, and figure it doesn’t hurt to have a sense of what might be going on with your garage door or opener, we’ve compiled a list here of some common issues, and also go on to explain further some subsequent fixes for them.
