How we work
Garage Doors Franklin WI repairs and installs garage doors and openers in Franklin and the neighboring communities. This page is about how we go about it, and what you can hold us to.
What we think good garage door service looks like
Most people know very little about their garage door, and there's no reason they should. It goes up, it comes down, and it only gets noticed when it stops. That puts a lot of trust in whoever turns up to fix it. We try to deserve it by doing a few plain things every time.
We look before we quote. A price given over the phone for a door nobody has seen is a guess. We'd rather spend ten minutes checking the balance, the springs, the cables, and the track, and then give you a figure that holds.
We explain what we found. In ordinary words, pointing at the actual part. If you'd like to see the worn roller or the gap in the spring, we'll show you.
We give you the options. Often there's more than one sensible way to deal with a problem. A repair that gets you through a few more years. A more thorough one that resets the clock. Sometimes a replacement. You'll hear the cost and the trade-offs of each.
We don't push. If your door needs a can of lubricant and a few bolts tightened, that's what we'll tell you. We repair far more doors than we replace.
We test before we leave. The balance, the safety reverse, and the photo-eyes get checked on every visit, whatever we came for.
Local work
Why Franklin
Working in one area teaches you its doors. Much of Franklin's housing went up between the 1970s and the early 2000s, and the garage doors from those decades share the same builder-grade hardware, the same spring sizes, and the same weak points. Farther south the properties spread out, with detached shops and pole buildings whose doors are taller, heavier, and usually overdue for attention.
The climate teaches you too. Road salt at the bottom brackets. Seals frozen to the slab in January. Springs that pick the coldest morning of the year to let go. We plan for those things because we see them every winter.
We also work in Oak Creek, Greendale, Hales Corners, Greenfield, Muskego, and nearby. The service areas page has the full list.
