A door that squeals, shakes, reverses unexpectedly or feels unusually heavy may have more than one worn component. The opener is not always the cause. A weak spring can make the opener strain, a damaged roller can pull the door out of alignment, and a frayed cable can leave one side carrying more weight than the other.

All American repairs residential doors of any make or model. A technician can inspect the springs, cables, drums, rollers, hinges, tracks, panels, safety sensors, weather seal and door balance before recommending work. The findings and price are provided before the repair begins. Commonly needed parts are carried on the service trucks, reducing delays for routine failures.

If the safest repair depends on an ordered panel or component, the technician can secure the opening temporarily when conditions allow and explain the next step.

All American installs garage doors for replacement projects and new residential construction. Available choices include steel, wood, composite, aluminum-and-glass, carriage-house and custom doors in single- and double-door sizes. Homeowners can also select insulation, windows, colors, finishes and decorative hardware.

A useful door quote starts with door width and height, headroom, backroom, track layout, spring system, framing and opener compatibility all affect the finished installation. Price also changes with material, insulation package, glass, finish and custom sizing. Insulated Amarr doors are available with different construction methods and R-values.

Once the ordered door is on site and the opening is ready, a typical residential installation is completed within the day. The old door, opener and replaced components can be removed and disposed of as part of the job. 

An opener may stop because of a sensor alignment problem, damaged gear, circuit board fault, remote or keypad issue, wiring problem, worn drive system or a door that is no longer balanced. The technician should test the door by hand before blaming the motor. An opener cannot compensate safely for a broken spring or binding track.

All American repairs residential opener makes and models and installs LiftMaster systems as an authorized dealer. Service includes belt-drive, chain-drive, wall-mount and jackshaft units, along with smart controls, remotes, keypads, battery-backup options and myQ setup. Existing doors can generally be paired with a compatible opener after the door’s weight, balance, travel and safety-reversal system have been checked.

Repair or Replacement we will give you the knowledge and service you need to make the best decision for you.

All American replaces torsion and extension springs and can convert an extension-spring setup to a torsion system when the door and available headroom permit it. Springs are measured and matched to the door on site. Door weight, height, drum size, wire diameter, spring length and the number of springs all affect the correct replacement.

Standard- and high-cycle spring options are available. A cycle is one full opening and closing of the door, so a household that uses the garage as its main entrance consumes spring cycles faster than a lightly used garage.

Most residential spring replacements take about one to two hours after the technician arrives. Current pricing is $120 to $270 per spring, plus the diagnostic/service-call fee, depending on the door and spring specifications. Do not run the opener or try to lift the door after a spring breaks. The door may be far heavier than it appears, and the remaining hardware may not hold it evenly.

Residential emergency service is available 24/7 for doors that are off track, stuck open, jammed, hit by a vehicle or hanging from damaged cables. All American also handles failed openers, bent or damaged panels and doors that will not close securely. An employee of the company answers after-hours calls. There is no additional emergency, night or weekend fee.

A bent track can pinch a roller and force the door to twist as it moves. Continuing to operate it may pull a cable loose, damage additional rollers or crease a panel. If a door has left the track, stop the opener and leave the door in place until it can be supported and inspected. Technicians can repair or replace damaged track, reset rollers, correct cable problems and check the door’s balance before reconnecting the opener.

Same-day service is offered when scheduling and travel time permit, but it is not guaranteed. If a permanent repair needs a special-order part, the technician can temporarily secure the opening when site conditions allow.
