Many Dover homes have single-car or detached garages with doors that are 30 years old or more. Typical problems include brittle cables, worn steel rollers that grind in the track, and extension springs without safety cables, which can whip loose when they break. Adding safety cables is one of the simplest, least expensive safety upgrades we do.
When a door is too far gone to repair, a basic steel door is often an affordable replacement for a single-car opening. We'll lay out both options so you can decide what makes sense for your budget.
