Garage door vertical track with moisture-damaged jamb and rotted wood framing in Ottawa
Track & Jamb

Track & Jamb Damage

Moisture and Ottawa freeze–thaw cycles rot the wood where the vertical track mounts, while bent rails and popped rollers leave the door crooked. We realign or replace track, secure mounting, and flag framing that needs repair so the door runs true again.

⏱️ Same day 📍 Ottawa area

Track Replacement & Repair

Rails, rollers, and mounting only: bent vertical steel, rollers out of the channel, crooked door in the opening, or loose track bolts. We work the track system and jambs—not spring tension or opener electronics (those are the next cards).

  • Vertical track: Straighten safe bends or swap kinked sections; reset bracket spacing so rollers ride true.
  • Horizontal / curved rail: Damaged high-radius or ceiling-mounted sections replaced to match headroom.
  • Rollers in the track: Worn or broken rollers replaced (steel or nylon)—binding often starts here before the rail bends.
  • Jamb & anchors: Rotted or split wood where lags go—we’ll tell you if carpentry is needed before hardware will hold.
💡 Door still heavy or won’t stay up? That’s usually springs or cables, not the track—see Spring & Cable Repair next.
📍 All Ottawa Areas
Track repair details

Spring & Cable Repair

Loud bang, door stuck halfway, cable off the drum, or one side lifting faster than the other? That’s counterbalance hardware—torsion or extension springs, lift cables, drums, and bottom brackets. We replace and rebalance so the opener isn’t doing the heavy lifting.

  • Torsion spring replacement ($250–$350): Both springs together in Ottawa’s cold; 10,000-cycle hardware; door balanced by weight.
  • Extension springs: Safer containment and equalized tension where your door uses side-mounted springs.
  • Cable & drum repair ($150–$250): Frayed or snapped cables, spun drums, damaged bottom brackets—aircraft-rated cable where it matters.
  • Safety first: Never disconnect an unbalanced door or climb under it; we carry the right winding bars and locking tools.
💡 Crooked but cables look OK? Could be track or roller alignment—use the Track card above if the rails look bent or a roller is out.

Emergency & Same-Day Repairs

Priority dispatch 9 AM – 9 PM when you need the door secured, weathertight, or closing safely. This card covers panels, seals, sensors, and general same-day fixes—springs, cables, tracks, and openers are covered in the dedicated cards above so nothing is repeated.

  • Panel section repair ($250–$500): Impact dents, cracks, reinforcement struts—restore strength and seal until you’re ready for a new door.
  • Bottom seal & retainer ($250–$350): EPDM rubber and aluminum retainer to block drafts, melt, and pests.
  • Perimeter weather strip: Top and side seals for a tighter envelope in Ottawa winters.
  • Safety sensors ($100–$200): Blinking lights, won’t close, misaligned eyes—realign, replace, and test auto-reverse.
  • Truck stock: Hinges, brackets, remotes, and common parts—most visits finish in one trip.
💡 True emergencies (spring snap, cable off, bent rail, opener dead): call now—we route those as priority and use the same trucks; the cards above describe what we’ll fix when we arrive.
