Garage Door Repair in Maple Valley, WA

Maple Valley homes are hitting garage-door repair age

The typical Maple Valley home was built around 2000, which makes the median house here about 26 years old.

That is a newer housing stock than most towns, but 26 years is the point where the original garage door spring and opener have run through years of daily use and start to fail.

About 84 percent of Maple Valley's occupied homes are lived in by their owners, so the person dealing with a door that has stopped working is usually the homeowner, not a landlord, and owners tend to fix a failing door rather than let it sit.

What we fix

• Garage Door Repair for doors that stick, sag, or come off track.
• Garage Door Spring Repair, the part on a door from around 2000 most likely to break first.
• Garage Door Opener Repair for openers that have run for years and quit.
• Renton Garage Door Co is licensed for garage door repair services in WA and the areas we serve, including Maple Valley.

Why spring and opener work is not a DIY job

Garage door counterbalance springs are under high tension and are dangerous; a breaking spring can cause injury, so spring systems should be repaired only by trained professionals, not homeowners.

A garage door should also be balanced, meaning it stays in place when stopped part-way open; a severely unbalanced door can crash to the floor and strike someone underneath, and one that binds or sticks should be serviced by a professional.

Federal law requires automatic openers to reverse, and openers made after 1993 must also have an external entrapment-protection device such as an electric eye, mounted 4 to 6 inches above the floor. On a Maple Valley door built around 2000, that safety hardware is decades old and worth checking when the opener acts up.
