WHY
Garage Door Repair Matters
Timely repairs protect your family, your vehicles, and your budget. Small issues like frayed lift cables, misaligned tracks, or a sagging door stress the opener and other parts, shortening the life of the entire system. Ignoring symptoms leads to sudden failures, inconvenient lock-ins or lockouts, and more expensive repairs. Professional service also ensures your door is balanced and compliant with safety standards, including proper spring tension, working sensors, and force settings that protect kids, pets, and vehicles. Because garage doors open and close hundreds of times a year, maintenance and expert repairs dramatically reduce wear, extend the lifespan of components, and help avoid emergency situations. The result is quieter performance, reliable access, improved curb appeal, and peace of mind every time you press the button.

Our Garage Door Services in Nipomo
Broken Springs and Cables
Torsion and extension springs carry the door’s weight; when they break or lose tension, the door becomes unsafe. We replace springs and lift cables with properly sized, quality components and balance the system to protect your opener and reduce daily stress on other parts.
Remote and Keypad Programming
We program new remotes, wireless keypads, and vehicle-integrated buttons, replace dead batteries, and help you reset codes for improved security. We also show you how to manage vacation lock features and rolling codes for peace of mind.
Garage Door Repair
We diagnose grinding, binding, bouncing, and uneven movement, then correct the root cause. Common fixes include spring and cable replacement, track realignment, roller and hinge upgrades, and full safety recalibration. The goal is smooth, balanced operation and dependable performance.
Off-Track Doors
A door that has jumped its tracks can pinch, bind, or damage panels and hardware. We safely secure the door, correct track alignment, check rollers and hinges, and restore the door to true, square travel so it opens and closes without scraping or drifting.
Emergency Repairs
When your car is stuck inside or the door won’t close, we prioritize urgent calls to restore access and security. We troubleshoot quickly, complete safe temporary fixes if needed, and follow with a permanent repair to get your home back on track.

How RAD Garage Door Services Can Help
Our process is straightforward. First, call or email to describe the issue. We schedule a convenient visit, arrive on time, and perform a thorough inspection of springs, cables, rollers, hinges, tracks, and opener settings. Next, we walk you through findings, explain options, and provide a clear estimate before work begins. Most repairs are completed the same visit because our service vehicles carry commonly needed parts. Before we leave, we balance the door, test safety features, and review what was done so you understand how to keep everything running smoothly. You’ll have a dependable door, an organized work area, and confidence that the job was completed safely and correctly.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?
If you hear a loud bang and the door becomes heavy or won’t lift, a spring likely snapped. The coils may show a visible gap. Do not attempt to open the door manually or with the opener. Call a professional to replace springs and rebalance the system safely.
Why does my door go partway up and then reverse?
This often points to a binding track, worn rollers, or opener force limits that are set too low. It can also be a safety sensor issue. We inspect and correct the cause, then set travel and force properly so the door moves smoothly without reversing.
Can I replace a garage door opener myself?
Openers seem simple, but correct mounting, bracing, travel limits, force settings, and sensor alignment are critical for safety. A misadjusted opener can damage the door or fail to protect people and vehicles. Professional installation ensures safe, quiet operation and full warranty support.
How often should my garage door be serviced?
For most homes, a yearly tune-up is ideal. If your door is heavy, older, or a main entry point used many times a day, consider twice-a-year checks. Regular service reduces noise, prevents surprises, and extends the life of springs, cables, rollers, and the opener.
What can I do to keep my door running quietly?
Keep the tracks clear of debris, avoid harsh cleaners on moving parts, and do not lubricate nylon rollers or plastic components. Use a garage-door-safe lubricant on metal hinges and bearings. If noise increases, schedule a tune-up to identify worn parts before they fail.
