How to Book

We work Glendale from our Milwaukee base, about 5 miles south. There's no branch office here - a truck comes to you, so when you call, tell us the door's age if you know it, or just tell us what it's doing (or not doing). Because a lot of this town's stock dates to the mid-1960s, a lot of our Glendale calls turn out to be the same handful of failures on the same handful of door types: steel sectional doors and a fair number of older wood-panel doors that never got replaced.

Knowing which one you have before the truck rolls means we usually bring the right spring and hardware on the first trip instead of a second. If you're not sure what's mounted above your car, a photo helps more than a description over the phone.

That hardware is 55-plus years old in the houses that never had it swapped, and it fails the way old steel and old springs fail: a spring that lets go with a bang and leaves the door dead-weight on the track, rollers that have worn oval and start binding, a bottom panel that's rusted through at the corner where snowmelt sits against it every winter. This region sits in a severe cold climate zone, and that cold matters here specifically - a spring under tension behaves differently at 10°F than at 60°F, and cold steel is more brittle steel. So the failure that shows up as a slow, quiet drift into
