How it works
Step 1
Diagnose
Tech identifies whether it's cables, rollers, track, or all three.
Step 2
Replace
Failing part swapped with OEM-grade component.
Step 3
Align
Tracks re-shimmed to spec, hinges torqued, rollers lubed.
Step 4
Test
Full manual and powered lift cycle before we leave.
The parts nobody thinks about
Cables and rollers do more work per cycle than any other moving part on the door. When they wear, the door gets louder, jerks on the way up, and eventually jumps a track. Catching them early is a $200 fix; ignoring them turns into a $700 off-track call.

Signs a cable is about to fail?+
Fraying strands near the bottom bracket, uneven door lift, a cable that has jumped the drum, or a door that sits crooked when closed.
Are nylon rollers really worth it?+
Yes. Sealed-bearing nylon rollers cut noise dramatically and don't rust in coastal air the way steel rollers do.
Can a bent track be straightened?+
Sometimes. Light bends we straighten and re-shim. Kinks near the curve or crushed track segments we replace.
