🔍 Does Your Garage Door Need a Safety Inspection? Watch for These Signs

  • Grinding, scraping, or banging sounds
  • Door moves unevenly and the lagging side is noticeable
  • Safety sensors are aging, not aligned properly, or have been physically impacted
  • Springs or cables are rusted, frayed, or worn out visibly
  • Door fails to reverse when it makes contact or when the sensor is triggered
  • You don’t remember the last time the door was checked by a professional

These conditions mean you really should get a professional inspection done, especially if it’s been more than a year since your last one.

I called at 9:45 am and Trent arrived 45 minutes later. What I thought might be a battery problem turned out to be a broken motor on an outdated system. Trent gave me options and got to work immediately, no delay, no waiting for parts, no stopping until the job was finished several hours later. He even helped me set up my app and programmed my openers and keypad. He was friendly, efficient, polite and did a quality job. I will definitely use them again. C F

I received servicing of my garage door and the Optimal scheduling representative was able to get the repairman out within a couple of hours. Matt was very professional, thorough and prompt in the repair. He was able to explain everything clearly and show me the options I had. Matt and optimal garage doors saved the day and now I can go to my Christmas party!

I called them in a panic. My garage door stopped operating. Their comprehensive website drew me to them. Trent came out right away and gave me a thorough run down of our system and possible issues. He referred me to another company that dealt with our type of door but offered a number of alternatives to fit various budgets if we decided to replace. Great company, responsive and very professional.

I cannot even begin to put into words how grateful I am for the service from this company. My garage wouldn't open. Luckily we found optimal garage doors. Matt arrived on time, he was very friendly and knowledgeable, quickly repaired a broken spring, and serviced my track and door. It's stressful when this happens, but now I feel so relieved. Thanks guys, you have a customer for life.
