Emergency Garage Door Repair

When your garage door isn’t functioning properly, your peace of mind is at stake. Getting the issue repaired quickly and professionally is crucial. Thankfully, several garage door companies in Mississippi offer same-day, 24/7 emergency service. Some common emergency scenarios include:

  • Broken springs
  • Broken or frayed cables
  • Door misalignment
  • Door uneven or off the tracks
  • Door won’t open or close
  • Safety sensor malfunction
  • Broken or failing garage door opener
  • Electrical failures

If you decide to go the DIY route for a repair, do so at your own risk. If you lack the expertise or are at all concerned with your abilities, we recommend calling a professional. They’ll come to your house, assess the situation and provide a quote for the labor and any parts you need.

Garage Door Spring Repair & Replacement

Garage door springs help counterbalance the door’s weight by tightening when it closes and loosening when it opens. Torsion springs are tightly wound coils located above the garage door that store and release energy to open and close it. Extension springs run parallel to the horizontal tracks on either side of the garage door, expanding and contracting to raise or lower it.  

Both torsion and extension springs are under immense pressure and pose a serious safety risk if not handled properly. Repairing or replacing springs requires training, specific safety measures, specialty tools and attention to detail, which is why we always recommend hiring a professional. 

Garage Door Opener Services

Professional technicians in Mississippi are trained to handle any issue that arises with your garage door opener. Whether you have a chain, belt, screw or jackshaft drive system, smart home features, or a dusty old workhorse, they can handle it all. 

Some common issues that might warrant a visit from a technician include: 

  • Inconsistent safety sensor performance
  • Door reverses before fully opening or closing
  • Noisy operation
  • Remote or wall unit not working
  • Damaged or broken springs, cables, belts or chains
  • Door closes too hard

Trained garage door techs can repair or replace garage door openers from lesser-known brands as well as household-name brands like LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Genie.

Common Garage Door Problems in Mississippi

Homeowners in Mississippi experience hot, humid summers and mild winters with frequent precipitation. The state also lies within Dixie Alley – a region that has experienced a rapid increase in tornadoes over the past several years. The state’s subtropical climate and frequent tornadoes and hurricanes create a unique set of problems for local garage door technicians to navigate. 

Though there are multiple subcategories within them, we’re dividing Mississippi into three core regions: the Northern Delta, the Central Delta and the Southern Coastal Plain along the Gulf of America. Our table lays out some of the most common garage door issues in Mississippi and how to help prevent them.

Garage Door Repair Costs in Mississippi

The amount you’ll pay to have your garage door and its systems repaired depends on where you live in Mississippi, the type of repair needed, labor rates in your area, and whether the job requires a permit. 

Due to the higher cost of operating a business in bigger cities like Jackson and Gulfport, for example, garage door companies there are likely to charge more than those in smaller areas.

Garage Door Opener Repair$150 – $300+
