We're based in Richmond and drive out across Metro Vancouver every day. Here's what we run into city by city — pick one for the full page on that area.

RichmondOur home base. Being local means shorter drive times to most calls here, and we're familiar with the mix of older single-family homes and newer townhome developments across neighbourhoods like Steveston, Terra Nova, Brighouse, and Seafair.VancouverWe cover Vancouver from the West Side through to South Vancouver and the West End — a mix of detached homes with standalone garages and townhome/strata complexes with shared garage access, both of which have different considerations for scheduling and access.North & West VancouverThe North Shore's steeper driveways and older housing stock come with their own quirks — we're used to working on doors mounted at odd angles or with less headroom than a standard install.BurnabyBurnaby's hillier terrain and mix of older post-war homes with newer infill construction means garage door setups vary block to block. We service both.Port MoodyA smaller, denser service area for us, and close enough to Coquitlam that we often pick up calls in both on the same run.Coquitlam & Port CoquitlamWe treat these as one coverage zone given how close together they are. Newer subdivisions here often have insulated sectional doors and smart openers, while older streets still have simpler setups.New WestminsterOlder housing stock and narrower lots here mean garage access can be tighter than in newer suburbs, which we plan for when scheduling a visit.SurreyOne of our larger coverage areas by geography — from South Surrey through to the city centre. Drive times vary a fair bit depending on which part of Surrey you're in, which we're upfront about when you call.Delta (Tsawwassen & Ladner)Delta's low-lying, coastal geography means we see more moisture-related wear on wood panels and uncoated steel here than in some other areas — something we flag during inspections even if it's not what you called about.White RockOur southernmost regular stop. Close to the border and to South Surrey, so we often combine White Rock calls with other South Surrey visits.LangleyOne of our two furthest regular coverage areas, out at the eastern edge of what we cover. We still take same-day calls here, though the drive means agreeing a specific window matters more than it does closer in.Maple Ridge & Pitt MeadowsGrouped together given their proximity, and the furthest east we regularly go. Semi-rural properties out here sometimes have detached garages or workshops with door setups that differ from a standard attached garage.

Torsion springsCycle ratings we stock

Springs are rated by cycle life: how many open-and-close trips before they wear out. We stock these and wind custom sets.

  • 10,000 cycles (Standard) — Builder-grade, on most new homes. About 3–4 cycles a day gives roughly 7–10 years.
  • 25,000 cycles (Upgrade) — Busier households, heavier doors, or a longer gap before the next spring job.
  • 50,000 cycles (High use) — Multi-car households, rentals and light-commercial doors.
  • 100,000 cycles (Commercial) — Parkades, warehouses and strata buildings with heavy daily traffic.
  • Custom wind (Built to spec) — Wound to the door's exact weight, height and drum size — oversized, full-view and older non-standard doors.

Door types we service

Every kind of door, opening and closing.

From a single home garage to a loading dock or a strata parkade — if it rolls, lifts or slides, we repair it, service it and install it.

What’s wrong with your door?

Tell us the symptom. We’ll tell you what it means.

Pick what you’re seeing. You’ll get the likely cause, what to do right now to stay safe, and how we fix it — then book it in one tap.

Broken torsion spring — real Up & Down job photoBroken torsion spring
Don’t use the door

That bang was a spring letting go.

Likely cause
A torsion spring has snapped — you can often see a gap in the coil above the door. The opener is now trying to lift the door’s full weight.
Do this now
Keep the door closed and unplug the opener. Don’t force it up by hand or keep pressing the remote.
What we do
We replace the spring (usually both, so they wear evenly), re-balance the door and check cables, drums and bushings in the same visit.

amazing service and great pricing. Fixed our mechanic shop door within 1 hour of the call. Super friendly and proffessional tech and no upselling which is rare to find. Would defently recommend to my friends. Thank you Up and Down Team!!!
AutoMind PerformanceMechanic shop · Google review
My garage door suddenly stopped working, so I called Up and Down Garage Doors. They were able to come out the same day, which was a huge relief. The technician was friendly, professional, and easy to deal with. He did a full inspection at no extra charge and found a couple of issues I didn’t even know about. Everything was explained clearly, with no pressure, and all the repairs were completed the same day. The pricing was fair, and my garage door is working perfectly now. Great service from start to finish—I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

I had a broken spring on my garage door and Max come in 30mins to safe my day. Prompt and professional job done, checked all other components making sure everything is working smooth again. Replaced all the bushings, lub the belt and adjust every blots too. Is such a comprehensive service that I haven’t experienced a long time in Canada. Thanks again!

Amazing service and excellent expertise. Max helped us switch out the motor of our garage door, and now it’s basically silent. He has amazing attention to detail, making sure to explain each step of the replacement. Additionally, he helped me set up the app associated with my new garage door, and explained the different settings to me. He is also punctual, helpful, and gave me advice on my other home improvement projects.

About Up & Down

Questions

Answers to what people ask before calling.

Can I replace just one garage door cable, or do both need doing?
We replace cables in matched pairs. Cables on a residential door wear at a similar rate, so replacing only the failed one usually means the second one fails not long after — and mismatched cables can throw off the door's balance in the meantime.
Is it safe to keep using a door that's making noise?
Usually yes in the short term, but it's worth having it looked at soon. Noise is often an early sign of a part wearing out, and catching it before it fails completely is typically a smaller, cheaper fix.
How do I know if I need a new opener or just a repair?
Many opener problems — dead remotes, misaligned safety sensors, worn drive gears — are repairable without replacing the whole unit. We diagnose in person before recommending a replacement, since a repair is usually the cheaper and faster option when it's available.
Do you work on doors in strata or townhome complexes?
Yes — we service both individual homes and multi-unit properties, including coordinating with property managers when a strata council needs sign-off before work starts.
Do you charge for a diagnostic visit if I don't go ahead with the repair?
We're upfront about our pricing before we start any work, including the visit itself, so you know what to expect before we're at your door — not after.
How long does a typical spring replacement take?
Most single-spring jobs on a standard residential door take under an hour once we're on site, though double-torsion setups or doors needing additional parts can run longer. We'll give you a realistic estimate for your specific door before starting.
Can you match the exact opener brand I already have installed?
In most cases yes — we carry parts and remotes for the major brands and can usually match or upgrade within the same ecosystem so your existing remotes and keypads keep working.
Will you tell me if a repair isn't worth it and I should replace the door instead?
Yes. If a door is old enough, or damaged enough, that repeated repairs are likely to cost more over time than a new installation, we'll say so directly rather than keep patching it. See our new door installation page for what that process looks like.
