So, your overhead garage door’s acting up? Maybe it’s stuck halfway open, making weird grinding sounds, or just refusing to budge. Whatever the case, we’ve seen it all—and we’re here to help.
At 24/7 Garage Doors Inc, we fix overhead garage doors every single day right here in Houston, TX. Whether you’re in Sharpstown, Midtown, Spring Branch, or out in The Heights, we’ve probably worked on a garage door in your neighborhood this week.
Let’s talk about what’s really going on—and how we can get it sorted out fast.
Why Your Overhead Garage Door Is Giving You Trouble
We’ve had homeowners call us thinking they need a whole new door, when all they really needed was a quick fix. Other times, it’s more serious. Here are the most common issues we deal with:
- Broken Springs: These things snap like rubber bands when they’re worn out. You’ll hear a loud bang, and suddenly your door won’t move.
- Worn Cables: These help lift your door. If they fray or break, the whole thing goes off-balance.
- Bent Tracks: If your car accidentally hit the door or it’s just gotten old, the tracks can bend and mess with how the door moves.
- Faulty Sensors: Your door won’t close if the sensors are blocked or misaligned. Super common and easy to fix.
- Malfunctioning Openers: Sometimes it’s not the door—it’s the opener. We can reprogram or replace those too.
If any of that sounds familiar, don’t wait. These problems usually get worse fast.
A Real Story From a Houston Neighbor
Last month, a homeowner in West University Place called us at 7 PM. Her garage door slammed shut and wouldn’t open—right as she was trying to leave for the airport. She thought she’d miss her flight.
We were there in under an hour. It turned out to be a broken spring. We had the part in our truck and got it fixed in about 30 minutes. She made her flight, and texted us a “thank you” from the plane.
That’s why we do what we do.
What Makes Overhead Garage Doors Tricky?
Overhead doors rely on tension and balance. One small problem can throw everything off.
For example, if one spring wears out faster than the other, the door tilts and struggles to open. Or if the rollers start sticking, your opener has to work extra hard—until it burns out.
A lot of folks try DIY fixes, but these systems are under a lot of pressure. One wrong move with a torsion spring can be dangerous. We’ve had customers with bandaged hands show us the YouTube video that got them in trouble.
Let us take care of it. We’ve got the tools and the know-how.
Fast Help When You Need It Most
Houston weather doesn’t wait. Whether it’s pouring rain in Bellaire or blazing sun in Alief, a broken garage door means your home isn’t secure—and your day’s on hold.
That’s why we offer emergency service around the clock. No waiting till morning. No “sorry, we’re booked for a week.”
Just call us, and we’ll get you back on track.
Overhead Door Repairs That Last
We don’t believe in band-aid fixes. If we’re going to repair your overhead garage door, we’re doing it right the first time.
That means using solid parts, not cheap ones.
That means making sure everything is aligned, tightened, and running smooth—not just replacing what’s broken.
And that means taking a few extra minutes to check the full system. Because if we spot another issue early, we’ll let you know before it turns into a bigger problem.
Houston Is Our Home
We’re not some big chain from out of state. We live and work right here in Houston, TX. Our trucks are on the road every day in places like:
- Montrose
- River Oaks
- Gulfton
- Northside Village
- Museum District
- Oak Forest/Garden Oaks
If you’re local, we’re probably just around the corner. That’s why we get to you so fast.
And when we say 24/7, we mean it. Garage doors don’t wait for business hours—and neither do we.
Common Homeowner Questions (Answered)
“Can I just lubricate the tracks and see if it works?”
Sure, try it—but if it still sticks, call us. Lubrication helps, but it won’t fix a worn roller or a crooked track.
“Is it safe to replace the spring myself?”
Honestly? Not really. Torsion springs are under a ton of tension and can cause serious injury. We always recommend calling a pro.
“Do you work weekends or nights?”
Yes. We’re 24/7 for a reason. Whether it’s Sunday morning or Thursday at midnight, we’re ready.
“Do I need to replace the whole door?”
Most of the time, no. We can usually fix the issue without replacing the entire system. We’ll tell you straight.
Helpful Tips to Keep Your Overhead Door Working
Want to avoid the hassle next time? Here’s what we tell homeowners:
- Listen to your door: If it starts making new noises, that’s a red flag.
- Check the balance: Pull the emergency cord and lift it halfway. If it doesn’t stay put, something’s off.
- Keep it clean: Wipe down the tracks once in a while and remove debris.
- Test the sensors: Make sure they’re aligned and not blocked.
- Schedule a tune-up once a year: Just like your car, your garage door needs maintenance too.
