Why it broke

Boise is hard on garage doors

A garage door is the biggest moving thing in your house and it opens about 1,500 times a year. The Treasure Valley adds three problems of its own.

January cold snaps snap springsSteel springs get brittle below 10 degrees. The first week of a cold snap is the busiest week of the year for spring calls on the Bench and in the North End.

Builder grade openers are aging outMeridian, Kuna and south Nampa were built fast between 2004 and 2016 with the cheapest chain drive opener that passed inspection. They are dying on schedule.

Spring winds and dustWind catches a wide double door like a sail and racks the track. Dust from the fields gets into rollers and photo eyes and makes a healthy door reverse for no reason.

The call every January: it was fine last night, it banged this morning, now it will not lift. That is a spring, and it is a same day fix.

Spring replacement$220 to $420

Torsion and extension springs replaced in matched pairs, sized to your door's weight so the opener stops straining. Carried on the truck, fixed on the first visit, same day in most of the Valley.

→

Opener repair and replacement$180 to $850

Gear kits, boards, photo eyes and remotes on units worth fixing. New belt drive and wall mount openers with battery backup and phone control when they are not, installed the same visit.

→

Off track, cables and rollers$160 to $380

A door off its track is a door that can fall. Cables, drums, bent track and rollers reset and replaced in pairs, with nylon rollers that quiet the door and ease the opener.

→

Panel and section replacement$320 to $900

Backed into it? One dented section can usually be matched and swapped without replacing the whole door, if the model is still made. Honest advice when it is not.

→

New garage doors$1,100 to $4,800

Insulated steel, carriage style, modern flush and full view glass. Measured and quoted at your house, with R value explained for an attached garage in an Idaho winter.

The January call

It banged. Now it will not lift.

The first cold snap of the year is the busiest week for spring calls in the Valley. Here is what to do in the first ten minutes, and what a tech does when they get there.

Stop pressing the buttonEvery press with a broken spring strips the opener gear a little more. Unplug it or leave it alone.

Look for the gapA torsion spring with an inch or two of daylight in the coil is broken. Do not touch it, and do not pull the red release on a double door.

Call and say the door sizeSingle or double, and whether the car is inside. The tech brings the right springs and you hear the price on the phone.

Call now, same day What to do when a spring breaks

How it works

One call. One tech. One price.

Boise Garage Door Guys is a free local referral service. You get a vetted tech without calling six companies for three callbacks. The tech gets a customer without an ad budget. Nobody pays us but them.

Tell us what the door is doing

Call or send the form. Say what you heard, what you see, and whether the car is stuck inside. That decides who comes and how fast.

A local tech calls you back

Within minutes during business hours. They confirm a window, usually today, and bring the parts for the problem you described.

Price first, then the fix

The tech inspects, gives you the full number, and only then starts. You pay the garage door company directly. Nothing is added for the referral.

New door? Usually no permit.

A like for like replacement in the same opening needs nothing from the City of Boise, Meridian or Ada County. Widening the opening does. Read the permit guide.

Bundle it and skip a trip charge.

Springs, nylon rollers and a tune up on one visit cost less than three visits. Tell the tech everything the door is doing and ask for the package price.

Winter

Why Your Garage Door Won't Open in the Cold

A garage door that will not open in the cold is usually one of five things: a snapped spring made brittle by the temperature, the bottom seal frozen to the slab, grease that has thickened in the rollers and hinges, an opener force limit set too low for a stiff door, or a dying opener capacitor that cannot start in the cold.

FAQ

Questions Boise homeowners ask

Still unsure? Call and ask. There is no charge to talk it through.

(208) 555-0144

Most weekday calls before 2 pm in Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Eagle and Kuna are seen the same day. Evenings and Saturdays are available. If the car is stuck inside, say so and you move up the board.

No. Boise Garage Door Guys is a free referral service. We connect you with an independent, licensed and insured local garage door company we have vetted. They quote the price, do the work and stand behind it.

Nothing. There is no fee to homeowners for the referral, and the tech quotes the whole job before starting. You only pay the company that does the work.

With a single door, carefully, with two people. With a double door, do not try. A 16 foot insulated door with no spring weighs well over 200 pounds and it will come back down on your fingers. Pull the red release only if you can hold the door.

They were installed together and have the same cycles on them. The second one usually goes within months and you pay a second trip. Pairs are standard practice and cheaper per spring.

If the garage is attached and there is a room above it, yes. An R 12 to R 18 door keeps the garage 15 to 20 degrees warmer in January, which is the difference between a frozen water heater line and a normal morning.

Every partner carries general liability and workers compensation. Ask for the certificate; they will have it on the truck.

Do not loosen, adjust or remove a torsion spring yourself. They store enough energy to break bones. Everything else on the door is reasonable homeowner territory with a video and a socket set.
