Garage doors play a big role in your home’s daily life, especially here in Greater Vancouver where weather can be tough on them. From heavy rain soaking seals to cold snaps affecting mechanics, local conditions speed up wear. At Up and Down Garage Doors in Richmond, BC, we focus on practical repairs and upgrades that stand up to our climate.
We serve residential and commercial customers throughout Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Surrey, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, New Westminster, Delta, Langley, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, White Rock, and the rest of the Lower Mainland. Our team uses quality products from leading manufacturers like Hörmann, Clopay, Amarr, Overhead Door, C.H.I., Wayne Dalton, Raynor, and LiftMaster for openers.
Common Garage Door Repairs We Handle
Doors see constant use, and small issues can turn into bigger problems if ignored. We often fix off-track doors from minor impacts, broken cables that snap under tension, worn rollers causing noise, or dented panels from everyday accidents. Tracks can bend slightly over time, leading to grinding sounds or uneven closing.
In wet areas like ours, seals degrade faster, letting in drafts or moisture. We replace them quickly to restore smooth operation and better insulation.
Safe Broken Spring Replacements
A spring failure usually happens suddenly, often with a loud noise. These parts support the door’s full weight, making manual lifting difficult or impossible when they break.
We use high-quality replacements with corrosion-resistant coatings suited to humid conditions, ensuring longer life and safer performance.
Garage Door Opener Services
Reliable openers add convenience, especially with modern smart features. LiftMaster models offer quiet belt drives and app integration for remote monitoring.
We repair sensors, remotes, or motors, and install upgrades with battery backup for power outages during storms.
New Garage Door Installations
A new door improves appearance, security, and energy savings. Options from manufacturers like C.H.I. and Wayne Dalton include modern flush designs or traditional raised panels.
Insulated models with polyurethane cores help maintain garage temperatures year-round.
24/7 Emergency Response
When a door won’t close or traps a vehicle, security is at risk. We provide prompt service any time, stocking common parts for fast resolutions.
Commercial Door Solutions
Businesses rely on durable doors for daily operations. We install sectional or rolling models from Overhead Door and Hörmann for high-traffic use.
Preventive Maintenance Tips
Simple regular checks prevent major issues. Lubricate hinges and rollers, test balance, and inspect weather seals. Annual professional tune-ups keep everything running quietly and efficiently.
