What St. Elmo customers say
Opener died the week before we moved. They came out, told me the board was gone and the gears were worn, and gave me the cost of both options without pushing me either way.
New double door fitted in a day, old one taken away, driveway swept. Nothing to complain about.
Spring snapped at six in the morning with my car stuck inside. Called, and someone was here before nine. New pair fitted, door is quieter than it was before it broke.
Garage door questions from St. Elmo homeowners
How long do garage door springs last?
Springs are rated in cycles rather than years. A standard set is around 10,000 open-and-close cycles, which is roughly seven to ten years for an average household. If you use the garage as your main entrance, expect closer to five, or ask us about high-cycle springs.
How much does garage door repair cost in St. Elmo?
Common repairs in St. Elmo land between $89 and $395 depending on the part. Spring pairs are typically $210 to $395, cables $135 to $225, and opener repairs $95 to $260. You get the price before the work starts, so nothing is added afterwards.
Do you work evenings and weekends in St. Elmo?
We do. Weekend and evening slots are available in St. Elmo, and genuine emergencies are covered overnight. After-hours calls cost more than a scheduled daytime slot and we tell you the rate before we set off.
Do you replace just one panel?
Often we can, if the rest of the door is straight and the profile is still manufactured. We check the make, model and colour on the St. Elmo visit and give you both the panel price and the full-door price so you can compare.
How fast can you get to St. Elmo?
Most days we can offer a same-day slot in St. Elmo if you call in the morning, and next-day for afternoon calls. Emergency work runs around the clock, so if the door is stuck open or your car is trapped, call (866) 651-0832 and we will tell you honestly how soon someone can be there.
Can you fix my door today?
Usually, yes. The parts that fail most often on St. Elmo doors - springs, cables, rollers, drive gears and sensors - are all stocked on the vans, so most jobs are finished on the first visit rather than waiting on an order.
