AfterGarage Door Before & After in Alpharetta, GA
We can describe a torsion spring replacement all day, but seeing the difference between a sagging, off-track door and one that glides in 9 seconds is what actually matters. That’s why every Servo job closes with a documented photo record. Here’s a sample of the work we’ve done across Alpharetta, Milton, and the surrounding north Fulton neighborhoods since 2015.
Recent Transformations
Torsion Spring Failure on a 16×7 Clopay Steel Door
The problem: a left-wound torsion spring snapped at the center bearing, leaving the door dead-weighted at 140 pounds and the opener straining against an unbalanced load. We replaced both springs as a matched pair, not just the failed one, because a single new spring on an older partner means the door cycles unevenly and you’re back in the same spot next season. The result: the door now lifts with two fingers of force at the handle and the opener’s trolley carriage no longer slams into the stop on the down cycle. Total time on site in Alpharetta: 47 minutes, including the photo record showing the old spring’s clean break at coil 18.
Off-Track Rollers and Bent Track on a Wayne Dalton 9100
The problem: a bottom roller popped out of the track after the horizontal track took a hit from a car bumper in the driveway. That left the door hanging at a 15-degree angle, pulling the top panel away from the header seal. We straightened the vertical track section, replaced all four bottom rollers with sealed-bearing nylon units, and re-hung the door so the gap at the header is now under a quarter inch across the full width. The homeowner in the Windward area got the before photos showing the bent track flange, which is the part a written quote references when we hand over the scope under Clause 1.
Grinding Opener with a Burned Logic Board on a LiftMaster 8550
The problem: the opener would hum but not engage, and the wall console showed a solid green light with no diagnostic code, which usually means the logic board quit talking to the motor controller. We pulled the cover and found a scorched trace near the relay that powers the trolley motor. New logic board, re-crimped spade connectors, and a fresh set of travel limits learned from scratch. The opener now runs a full cycle in 11 seconds with no grinding. We photographed the scorched board before touching a wire, because Clause 4 says the customer sees the failed part before anyone quotes a replacement.
Panel Replacement on an Amarr Heritage Door After Impact Damage
The problem: a basketball hoop toppled into the bottom panel, cracking the steel skin and breaking the interior stile so the panel flexed when the door opened. We ordered a matching panel from Amarr’s current run, so the color and emboss match the adjacent panels within the manufacturer’s tolerance. The old panel’s corner bracket was still good, so it was reused after straightening. The door now seals flat against the concrete apron with no daylight showing. Customer in Crabapple got the full photo record: damaged panel, new panel in the box, and the finished door closed.
Full Door Replacement on a 15-Year-Old Genie-Compatible Setup
The problem: the existing pan door had rust along the bottom rail and two broken hinges, and the owner wanted better insulation for a garage that gets afternoon sun on the west wall. We measured the opening at 9×7, then installed a Clopay 4050 with an R-9.4 insulated core and new track, springs, and hardware matched to the door weight. The old door’s opener was a Genie chain drive that was still in spec, so it stayed. The result: the garage is noticeably cooler in August, and the door runs quieter because the new nylon rollers match the new track radius. This one was a planned replacement, not an emergency, so the written price and scope were delivered three days before install day.
Broken Cable and Safety Catch on a Raynor Colonial
The problem: a cable snapped on the right side while the door was halfway up, which threw the full load onto the left cable and the safety catch. The door was stuck at a 30-degree angle and could not be lowered without risk of panel damage. We released the tension on the remaining spring, set the door down square, replaced both cables with new 7×19 aircraft-grade wire, and re-spooled the drums so both cables wind evenly across the full travel. The door now lifts level to within an eighth of an inch side to side. We always replace cables in pairs on any door over five years old, and this Raynor was eight.

Every job above started the same way: a phone call to (678) 679-2096, a real person on the line, and a written price before any work began. Bring us your door problem, or bring a written estimate from another company for a free second opinion. We’ll photograph what we find, quote it flat, and leave you with the documentation to prove it.
