Which symptom are you seeing?
Pick the card that sounds like your door. Each one names the part that usually fails and links to the repair.
A loud bang, then it won't lift
A torsion spring above the door has most likely snapped. Keep the door shut and unplug the opener; we bring a new spring sized to your door's weight.
Spring repair
Hangs crooked
A lift cable has probably slipped off its drum, so one side sits lower. Keep people clear of the door; we seat the cable again and square the door in its tracks.
Cable and track repair
Reverses before closing
The two safety eyes by the floor are likely smudged, bumped or blocked. Wipe both lenses first. If it still reverses, we realign or rewire them.
Sensor repair
Opener hums, door stays
The motor runs, but a worn gear, a broken spring or the manual lock is holding the door. Unplug the opener to let the motor cool, and we find which of the three it is.
Opener repair
Grinds or shakes
Worn rollers, loose brackets or dry hinges are the usual cause. A tune-up that tightens, aligns and lubricates them gets the door running smoothly again.
Garage door maintenance
Dented or cracked panel
One damaged panel can often be swapped by itself when the maker still offers it for your door. We check that first, so you can compare a new panel with a new door.

Easy to verify
Our state license
We hold a Florida garage door installation specialty license. It's public on the DBPR license lookup.
Your permit number
A building permit is a public record with the City of Plantation or the Town of Davie. The permit number comes to you, so you can follow it with the city.
The total in writing
Your estimate lists the parts, the labor and the total. Work starts once you agree to it.
Parts that match your door
When a door is wind-rated, new parts have to match the approved ones for it to keep its certification. We show you which approval your door has and how each new part fits it.
Our name and number
Plantation Davie Garage Door Experts and (954) 866-2996 are on every estimate, every invoice, this website and our van.
Older homes, older garage doors
1984Median year built, homes in Plantation
1989Median year built, homes in Davie
Half the homes in Plantation were built in 1984 or earlier; in Davie the middle year is 1989. A garage door that has never been replaced may be older than the wind rules a new one has to meet today.
Many streets in both cities sit behind a gate or inside an HOA. In HOA communities, the association approves the style and color first; then we file the permit.
Out in Plantation Acres and on the ranch lots of western Davie, homes sit on an acre or more and the garage can be far from the street. When you book, tell us where the garage is on the lot and how to get through any gate.
Questions from Plantation and Davie homeowners
It depends on which part failed and on your door. The part itself, the door's size and weight, whether a wind-rated door needs matching parts and whether the part is on our van all play a role. Your written price comes before we begin.
Yes. A garage door in Broward has to pass the large-missile impact test or sit behind an approved protection device, because the Florida Building Code places all of Broward in its HVHZ (high velocity hurricane zone). It also needs a current approval on file, either from the state or from Miami-Dade (an NOA, which can expire).
Yes, if that exact door has a current approval for Broward's wind and impact rules and for the size of your opening. Store listings often leave that out, so look up the door's approval number, Florida or Miami-Dade, before you buy. The city permit asks for that approval, and the installed door has to match it.
Repair it when one part has failed: a spring, a cable, the rollers or a single panel. Replacing the door is the better spend when several sections are damaged, matching parts are out of production or the door was never approved for Broward. See new garage doors to compare.
Home visits Monday to Saturday. If your door won't close, we come any day to secure it. For anything urgent, call rather than book online.
