How quickly can you fix my track misalignment?

In most cases, we can fix track misalignment the same day you call. Track misalignment is one of our most common garage door repairs, and our technicians arrive with all the necessary tools and parts. A typical track alignment takes 30-60 minutes once the technician is on site. For morning calls, we can often have your door working properly by afternoon. If you're experiencing a track issue, call us at (469) 423-8620 for immediate assistance.

What causes track misalignment in garage doors?

Track misalignment can occur due to several factors. The most common cause is impact damage—hitting the track with a vehicle or large object. Over time, the mounting brackets can loosen from the wall, causing the tracks to shift. Extreme temperature changes can cause metal expansion and contraction that gradually moves tracks out of position. Worn or broken rollers can also put uneven stress on tracks. Our technicians will identify the root cause during inspection and address it to prevent future problems. Learn more in our chain maintenance guide. Contact us for a professional assessment.

Do you offer financing for new fiberglass door installations?

Yes, we offer flexible financing options for new fiberglass garage door installations. We understand that a new garage door is a significant investment in your home. Our financing programs include options with competitive interest rates and terms ranging from 12 to 60 months. Many customers qualify for 0% interest for the first 12 months on approved credit.

What's included in your garage door maintenance service?

Our comprehensive maintenance service includes a 25-point safety inspection, lubrication of all moving parts, spring tension adjustment, track alignment check, safety sensor testing and calibration, weather seal inspection, hardware tightening, and opener testing. We also provide a detailed report of your system's condition with recommendations for any needed repairs. Regular maintenance extends your door's lifespan and helps prevent costly emergency repairs.

How long do garage door springs typically last?

Standard garage door springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles (one cycle = one open and one close). For a typical family that uses their garage door 4 times per day, springs last about 7-9 years. High-cycle springs, which we recommend, are rated for 25,000-50,000 cycles and can last 15-20 years. For more information, see our maintenance guide. When springs break, our repair team provides same-day replacement in most cases.

Do you service commercial garage doors?

Absolutely! We service all types of commercial garage doors, including rolling steel doors, sectional doors, high-speed doors, fire-rated doors, and loading dock equipment. Our commercial services include installation, repair, preventive maintenance, and 24/7 emergency service. We serve businesses throughout Plano, Frisco, Addison, and the entire DFW area.

What warranty do you offer on repairs and installations?

We stand behind our work with a comprehensive 1-year warranty on all labor and parts for repairs. For new garage door installations, you receive the manufacturer's warranty on the door itself (typically 1-10 years) plus our 1-year labor warranty. Spring replacements come with a warranty matching the spring type. Read about what to expect with costs and warranties.

How much does a new garage door cost?

Garage door prices vary significantly based on size, material, insulation, and style. A basic single-car steel door starts around $600-800 installed, while a premium insulated two-car door can range from $1,500-3,000 or more. Our fiberglass doors typically fall in the mid-to-upper price range. We provide free in-home estimates with no hidden fees. For a detailed breakdown, read our complete guide to garage door costs.

Can you install smart garage door openers?

Yes, we install all major brands of smart garage door openers as part of our installation services. Smart openers allow you to control your garage door from your smartphone, receive alerts, set schedules, and integrate with Google Home, Alexa, and Apple HomeKit. Learn about the latest security features available in modern openers. Contact us for a consultation.

What should I do if my garage door won't open?

First, check the obvious: ensure the opener is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Try both the wall button and remote. Check if the safety sensors are aligned. If these checks don't help, do not try to force the door open. Call our emergency service team at (469) 423-8620 for prompt assistance. We offer same-day emergency repair service throughout all our service areas.

Garage Door Repair Arlington, TX

When your garage door won't open in Arlington, you need a repair team that can get there fast and fix it right. The Colony Garage Doors serves all Arlington neighborhoods from our home base in The Colony, just 24.9 miles away (typically 29 to 44 minutes depending on traffic). We handle everything from broken spring repair Arlington homeowners call about most often to complete door replacements and opener installations.

Why Arlington Homes Need a Local Garage Door Specialist

Arlington's housing diversity means garage door needs vary dramatically across the city. You'll find everything from 1950s ranch homes in older neighborhoods near downtown to modern builds in newer developments. Older homes often have original garage doors that need updating, while newer construction sometimes comes with builder-grade openers that fail within a few years.

Texas weather puts serious stress on garage door components. Summer heat makes metal expand, winter cold makes springs brittle, and humidity causes rust on cables and tracks. Springs typically last 7 to 9 years here, not the 10 years manufacturers claim. That's because our climate cycles wear out the metal faster than in milder regions.

We see common patterns in Arlington service calls. Broken torsion springs account for about 60% of emergency repairs. Opener issues spike during extreme heat when garage temperatures hit 120 degrees or higher. Cable fraying happens more in homes without regular maintenance, especially in areas with older housing stock where homeowners haven't updated components in decades.

What We Do for Arlington Homeowners

Our most frequent service is spring replacement, which we stock on every truck for same-day repairs. We replace torsion springs and extension springs with high-cycle options that last longer in Texas heat. Most spring jobs take 45 minutes to an hour once we arrive.

Garage door opener installation is our second most requested service. We install LiftMaster, Chamberlain, and Genie models with battery backup and smart home compatibility. Older openers lack safety features like auto-reverse sensors, and replacing them prevents accidents while adding Wi-Fi control from your phone.

Cable and roller repairs keep doors running smoothly. Frayed cables need immediate replacement because they can snap without warning. Worn rollers create that grinding noise you hear every time the door moves. We replace both during the same visit to save you a return trip.

Full door replacement makes sense when repair costs approach 50% of a new door's price. We help Arlington homeowners choose insulated doors that reduce energy loss and quiet operation that won't wake the family. Steel, wood composite, and carriage house styles all work well here.

Preventive maintenance plans catch problems before they become emergencies. Annual inspections include spring tension adjustment, track alignment, opener force settings, and weatherstripping replacement. Request a maintenance quote for any Arlington ZIP code.
