What we fix, right now, any hour
The most common emergency calls across Detroit metro. Most fixable in one visit.
Broken spring
That loud bang at any hour - often a torsion spring snapping in Detroit's -20 degree cold. We carry both torsion and extension springs for same-visit replacement. Spring replacement details.
$200-$400 same-visit
Door stuck open
Home or business exposed overnight is a security risk. We treat this as top priority: temporary securing if needed, permanent repair same-visit when possible. Detroit Police data shows unsecured doors are the primary entry point in garage break-ins.
$200-$500
Door stuck closed
Car trapped and you need to get to work or the airport. Manual release inspection, spring check, opener diagnosis. We fix the cause, not just the symptom.
$150-$400
Off-track door
Hanging crookedly, risk of collapse. Don't try to operate it. Our tech realigns the track and checks for secondary hardware damage before anything moves. Track repair info.
$200-$500
Opener failure
Circuit board, stripped gear, sensor misalignment, or motor burnout. Most opener issues are fixable same-visit. If replacement is needed, we stock LiftMaster, Chamberlain, and Genie units on the truck. Opener repair info.
$100-$300
Frozen or weather damage
Detroit winters are hard on garage doors. Ice-sealed bottom seals bonding to concrete. Lake-effect snow overloading openers. Springs snapping in polar vortex cold. We carry cold-rated springs, heat guns, and winter lubricant specifically for Michigan weather failures. See mechanical failures for more.
$150-$600
When repair is not enough
Emergency Garage Door Replacement

- Same-visit replace when size and hardware match stocked inventory
- Insulated steel options for Michigan winters
- Old door haul-away included on full replacement jobs

Available 24/7, 365 days a year
Christmas. New Year's. Polar vortex nights. We don't take days off, because your garage door doesn't either.
Michigan Winter Garage Door Emergencies
Detroit's winters are harder on garage door hardware than almost anywhere in the continental US. Here is what we see and how we handle it.
Frozen door sealed to ground
Day-to-night temperature swings create a classic Detroit problem: melt water freezes overnight, bonding the weatherstrip to the concrete pad. Running the opener against that ice bond burns out motors fast. When we arrive, we apply heat to the seal, free the door, and check the opener for damage before resetting the force limits.
Typical cost: $275-$400 including service fee
Ice storm damage
A full ice coat adds 50-150 lbs to a door. Springs rated for a 150 lb door are now lifting 250+ lbs. That is how you get catastrophic spring failure during the first open attempt on a freezing morning. We remove ice before replacing the spring - otherwise the new spring is at the same risk immediately. We also inspect cables and panels for stress damage from the ice weight.
Typical cost: $450-$700 (more complex than standard spring job)
Lake-effect snow overload
East-facing Detroit doors take the brunt of lake-effect snow bands that can dump 4+ inches per hour. A snow drift against the door creates hundreds of pounds of resistance. Openers run against that load, overheat, and trip their thermal protection or burn out entirely. Shovel away from the door before trying to open it, then call us to assess motor damage.
Typical cost: $375-$600
Polar vortex spring failure
Extreme cold below -10 degrees makes torsion spring steel brittle. Polar vortex events in January and February produce a spike in spring failures over just a few days. Springs that were fine at 30 degrees snap on the first cycle when temperatures plunge. Pre-winter inspections in October or November identify springs near end-of-life before Arctic air arrives.
Typical cost: $200-$400
Storm damage and insurance
Wind, hail, and ice storm damage is typically covered under standard Michigan homeowner policies. When we respond to storm damage calls, we document the damage with timestamped photos, provide a written damage report, and prepare an itemized estimate suitable for your insurance adjuster. Temporary securing (to restore security while waiting for adjuster approval) is handled as a separate line item. File your claim within 48 hours of the weather event - most Michigan policies require prompt reporting.
After-Hours and Overnight Service
When we say 24/7, it means a live technician dispatcher, not a voicemail or answering service. Nights, weekends, and all major holidays including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. When you call at 2 AM, you reach someone who can assess your situation and dispatch a truck immediately.
Three on-call technicians rotate weekly overnight duty. Each takes a fully stocked service truck home so there is no return trip to a warehouse before responding to your address. For Detroit city and inner suburbs, overnight response averages 51-65 minutes from call to arrival.
When to call immediately vs wait until morning
Typical response by time of call
| Time window | Avg arrival |
|---|---|
| Mon-Fri 7 AM - 7 PM | 2-4 hours (same-day) |
| Evenings 7 PM - 11 PM | 60-90 min |
| Overnight 11 PM - 6 AM | 60-90 min |
| Weekends | 45-90 min |
| Major holidays | 90-120 min |
Dispatcher provides a realistic ETA based on current tech location when you call. Active weather events may extend times.
