What Goes Wrong With Garage Doors in Glenora and Crestwood
Glenora and Crestwood are mature neighbourhoods above the North Saskatchewan River valley in west-central Edmonton. According to Wikipedia, almost nine in ten Glenora homes were built by 1970, and 72 percent of Crestwood homes were built between the end of the Second World War and 1960. Many of the garages are older, and many of the homes have been renovated or rebuilt. These are the problems we see most:
- Older doors with worn springs and cables. See spring replacement and cable replacement.
- Heavy wood doors that put extra load on the springs and opener. See opener repair and installation.
- Detached garages that have shifted, so the door sticks or binds. See track repair.
- Damaged or tired panels on older doors. See panel replacement.
- Modern openers on newer homes that need a keypad, a sensor or a battery backup repaired. See sensor repair.
Our general garage door repair service covers the rest.
Old Wood Door: Repair, Restore or Replace?
A wood or character door can give a home its look, and it is worth keeping when the wood is sound. This table is a simple guide:
| What you have | Usually best |
|---|---|
| A sound wood door with worn springs or cables | Repair the hardware and keep the door |
| A sound wood door that is hard to lift | Rebalance the springs, and check the opener is the right size |
| Rotted, split or warped panels | Compare repairing the panel with a new door |
| A door that is heavy, uninsulated and cold | Consider a new insulated door in a matching style |
| A door that needs repairs every year | Replacement may cost less over time |
A wood door is heavy, and the springs must match its weight. If a spring is changed for a lighter one, the door can feel too light, rise on its own or put strain on the opener. We check the weight and balance before we quote. A new insulated single door installed typically costs $2,200 to $3,800 plus GST, and a double $2,800 to $5,000 plus GST. See garage door installation and insulated garage doors.
My Detached Garage Door Sticks or Binds
Older detached garages can shift over time. When the building moves, the door opening may no longer be square, and the door can rub on one side or stick in the tracks. Here is what to look for:
- Look at the gap around the door. A gap that is wider on one side than the other suggests the frame has moved.
- Look at the tracks. They should be straight and attached firmly to the wall. Loose bolts or a bent track can be repaired.
- Watch where the door rubs. A mark on the door or the trim shows where it is binding.
- Do not force the door. Forcing it can bend the track or damage a cable.
We can often realign the tracks, tighten the hardware and rebalance the door. If the frame itself has moved a long way, we tell you what we see, and you may need a carpenter as well. See track repair.
Newer Homes and Infill in Glenora and Crestwood
Many older homes here have been replaced with newer builds, and some of them have modern doors and openers. These may have Wi-Fi controls, keypads, battery backups and safety sensors. If a feature stops working, we can usually repair or replace the part, or tell you if the opener is worth replacing. Glenora also has apartment buildings. If you manage a building with shared overhead doors, see our commercial overhead door service page.

Garage Door Repair in Glenora & Crestwood FAQs
How much does garage door repair cost in Glenora & Crestwood?
A service call and diagnosis typically costs $90 to $130 plus GST. A spring pair typically costs $280 to $450, a cable pair $180 to $320 and a roller set $150 to $260. We confirm the exact price in writing before we start.
Do you charge extra to come to Glenora & Crestwood?
We tell you the full price, including any travel or after-hours charge, before we start, and you approve it first. Call us with your address and we will confirm the price for your visit.
Can you repair an old wood garage door?
Often yes, as long as the wood is sound. We can replace the springs, cables, rollers and hinges, and rebalance the door. If the panels are rotted or warped, we compare repairing them with a new door and give you both prices.
Why is my detached garage door sticking?
An older garage can shift over time, so the opening is no longer square. Look for a gap that is wider on one side, loose track bolts or marks where the door rubs. Do not force the door. We can often realign the tracks and rebalance the door.
Can I replace the springs on a heavy wood door with lighter ones?
No. The springs must match the door’s weight. Springs that are too light leave the door heavy and strain the opener. Springs that are too strong can make the door rise on its own. We check the weight and balance before we quote.
Do you service modern doors and smart openers in Glenora and Crestwood?
Yes. We can repair or replace keypads, sensors, battery backups and other opener parts, and tell you if the opener is worth replacing. If a Wi-Fi feature stops working, we check the opener and the connection on the visit.
Do I need to replace both springs if one breaks?
Yes, we recommend it. Both springs have been through the same number of cycles, so if one has broken, the other is usually close behind. Replacing both also keeps the door balanced.
Should I try to fix a broken spring myself?
No. Springs and cables are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury. If you heard a bang, the door will not lift or a cable is loose, stop using the door and call us.
