Who We Are and What We Work On

Work We Turn Down

Most of the houses we get called to went up somewhere between 1950 and 2004, with a heavy concentration from the 1960s and 70s spread across the named subdivisions on this side of town. That means we see a lot of the same hardware over and over: steel sectional doors on torsion springs, openers from a handful of eras, and tracks that have been painted over more times than anyone can count. We work on doors, springs, openers, cables, rollers, and panels - the parts that actually fail.

What we don't do is new construction framing, siding, or anything structural to the opening itself. If a door is sagging because the header is rotted or the jamb has shifted, that's a carpentry problem before it's a garage door problem, and we'll tell you so instead of bolting hardware to something that won't hold it. We also won't quote a repair over the phone on a door we haven't looked at - torsion spring sizing and track alignment vary enough across the 1950-2004 build range that a guess isn't worth your money. Cold-climate swings here mean steel contracts and expands more than people expect, which shows up as cable slip and worn rollers faster than it would in a milder band, so we'd rather look first.

Contacting Us

Call (913) 382-2184. We're based at 18103 W 106th St, Olathe, KS 66061, and we run calls from there out through the area - Gardner, Spring Hill, Edgerton, De Soto, Leawood, Lake Quivira, Merriam, Prairie Village, Bucyrus, Mission, Edwardsville, Bonner Springs, Mission Hills, Linwood, Roeland Park, Eudora, Wellsville, Basehor, Louisburg, Havencroft, and Clearview City. If you're closer to one of those towns than to our address, that's fine - distance isn't the deciding factor, the job is.

Tell us the symptom, not just "it's broken." A door that won't open, a spring that snapped overnight, an opener that runs but the door won't move - each of those points to a different fix, and knowing which one saves time on both ends of the call.

What Comes Next

Once we're out, we look at the whole door, not just the part you called about. A broken spring on a double door built in the 1960s or 70s often means the opposite spring is close behind it, and on older hardware we'll tell you that up front instead of replacing one and leaving you with a second call in a few months. With a household income median around $90,982 across the area, most owners here would rather pay once for the right spring pair than twice for a patch job, and that's how we quote it.

If the door is old enough and worn enough that repair costs start approaching replacement, we'll say that plainly instead of stacking repairs on a door that's done. Across the roughly 65,120 households and 38,491 owner-occupied houses we draw calls from, we see enough of these doors to know when a fix is worth it and when it isn't.
