Your garage door is a physical barrier to the outside elements. When your garage door is damaged, it no longer protects your personal positions through physical security. Animals, pests, and thieves can easily access your garage and enter your home. If your garage door is not opening or closing properly, it is important to hire professionals who will provide quality garage door repair in Vancouver.
Why Not Just Fix My Garage Door Myself?
Professional garage door repair in Vancouver eliminates the do-it-yourself (DIY) risks. When your garage door is in need of repair, it already poses a risk to your family as discussed previously. A DIY garage repair poses greater risks of injury. Garage doors are extremely heavy. They are designed this way to prevent thieves and critters from entering.
According to the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP), there are thousands of garage door-related injuries in Canada reported annually, affecting men, women, and children. There are loaded springs and mechanics involved with repairing a garage door. The springs create tension to make the garage door easier to lift. In bad DIY cases, this spring-loaded heavy door has fallen on the homeowner, creating serious injury.
How Much Does It Cost to Repair My Garage Door?
The costs of garage door repair in Vancouver vary greatly. The cost depends on what needs to be repaired on your door, the parts needed, and the amount of labor it takes to perform the repair. For example, a garage coil repair of torsion springs costs more than extension springs. Torsion springs are mounted horizontally across the garage door. Extension springs merely stretch and then compress. The cost of torsion spring repair is typically two to three times more than replacing extension springs.
A professional will perform a diagnostic examination to identify the issue, and provide you an estimate for the cost of repair before rendering services.
