Garage door repair in Nepean
Nepean has some of Ottawa's most established suburban streets, with many homes built between the 1960s and 1980s — often with single-car garages and older hardware.
Garage doors in Nepean
Older Nepean homes often have extension springs (the long springs running along the tracks) instead of a torsion spring above the door. Extension springs without safety cables can whip loose when they break, so if yours don't have a cable running through them, ask the technician about adding one.
Single garage doors from that era are also commonly uninsulated. If you're replacing one, an insulated single door is a modest upgrade that keeps an attached garage noticeably warmer in January.
Common problems we get calls about
- Broken garage door spring — a loud bang from the garage, often on a cold morning
- Garage door opener repair — the opener hums or clicks but the door doesn't move
- Garage door off track or cable broken — the door is crooked or one side is lower than the other
- New garage door installation — repeated repairs on an old door
- Emergency garage door repair — your car is trapped inside

Common questions
What's the difference between torsion and extension springs?
Torsion springs sit on a bar above the door and twist to lift it. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks and stretch. Both are dangerous to repair without training.
