Around 2,000 people are crushed by garage doors each year, according to statistics reported by the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS). It was also revealed that 7,500 people are pinched by garage doors each year. In total, there are about 20,000 to 30,000 accidents related to garage doors each year. Some of these accidents are a result of human negligence, but most are caused by a faulty garage door.
To avoid such incidents, periodic checks and maintenance are important. If you are thinking, “I can fix my garage door on my own,” you might want to drop that thought. Garage doors have lots of moving parts. They require specific skills and knowledge, as well as the right set of tools.

Signs Your Garage Door Needs Repair
If you see the following signs, it is best to contact J&E Garage Door us for commercial & residential garage door repair:
Not Closing or Opening Properly
This is the most obvious sign of a garage door in need of repair. This problem can be due to the garage door cable being worn or broken, broken torsion spring, a malfunctioning opener or there might be a stripped gear in the opener.
Garage Door Being Off Track
There are rollers in the door that help it open and close smoothly. But sometimes, these rollers can come off the track. This causes difficulty in opening and closing the door. The rollers can come off track due to reasons such as a worn-out roller, misalignment of the rails and a broken lift cable.
Garage Door Being Noisy
A garage door cannot be completely silent. But if the noise levels are much higher than when you first installed it, there might be some problems. Specific sounds can point towards certain problems. For instance, a rumbling sound could be because of lose spring tension, a grating sound due to bent coils and ratting noise due to loose support chains or rails.

J from J&E answered the phone personally and came out the same day to inspect our garage. He explained the issue and found another serious issue and fixed both for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended!

He came soon after I called and helped me out . I needed to reset the code and sync my car and he did it so quickly and even adjusted some other features like the sensors and the chain . Very happy ! For the peace of mind I was happy to pay.

Jorge came out the next day and within an hour, installed a brand new garage door opener. He knew exactly what he was doing and did not waste any time. He was professional and very efficient. His quote for the replacement was way below what the big companies charge. He is honest and very knowledgeable at his profession. He also helped with another unit I owned that had similar issues that very same day. He diagnosed the problem in minutes. Hassle-free, no nonsense. I recommend Jorge!

The best garage door repair company! I called Jorge at the last minute, expecting to be seen at a later date, but he was able to come by in a couple of hours to fix my garage door that was making loud noises when I would close. Took him no longer than 10 minutes and now it’s safe to use. I’ve been doing business with this company for a couple years now and will continue to do business for all my garage door needs.
