You can expect a high-quality, properly maintained garage door to last 25 to 30 years or longer, but even the best doors may exhibit mechanical issues now and then. Repairing a broken garage door is typically not a do-it-yourself project. Working with springs, cables and other parts and components is complicated — and potentially dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing.

4 Common Garage Door Problems
Our certified repair technicians can handle all types of garage door repair challenges, including the typical issues that residential and commercial property owners face. Four of the most common issues that we handle on a regular basis follow.
1. Broken Springs
Garage door springs are essential for the safe, efficient opening and closing. Wear and tear, rust and improper maintenance can eventually cause springs to break and possibly prevent you from operating the door. A snapping spring unleashes a high volume of stored energy, which can cause significant injuries or property damage.
If you’re noticing the telltale signs of weakening springs, such as corrosion, unusual noises or uneven door opening, call BlackHawk Garage Door right away to perform a spring repair or spring replacement.
2. Broken Cables
Cables run through the springs and prevent them from recoiling when they snap. Because of their crucial garage door safety role, it’s essential to replace broken cables as soon as possible. Our professional technicians can take care of this delicate, potentially hazardous garage door repair task for you.
3. Problems Opening or Closing
A garage door may fail to open or close for many reasons — examples include broken springs, a blocked photo-eye, snapped cables or a malfunctioning opener. We’re able to diagnose the problem and perform the necessary repair steps quickly and correctly to get the door working properly again as soon as possible.
4. Unresponsive Door Opener
An opener serves as a garage door’s operating system. If it doesn’t work, neither will your door. We’ll perform a series of troubleshooting steps to determine why your opener isn’t functioning properly, whether it’s dead batteries or something more significant like a burned-out motor or a damaged main gear drive.

4/26/2025 We ordered 2 garage doors from BlackHawk Garage Door on about Nov 1, and they were installed on Dec 31. Our installation team, Brent and Ner, were friendly, fast, and professional, and the installed doors look great! Brent programmed the garage door openers and the keypad for us, and he made certain that we understood how to use them before he left.
Prior to the installation, all communications with the production manager, Nate Nelson, were excellent, clear, and timely. We could not be more pleased with the service we've received from BlackHawk Garage Door! Gary Bambenek
12/31/2024 So pleased with the service we received. The spring broke on our garage door. We called Blackhawk and they were out the next day, did a complimentary fix on the existing door and ordered a new door for us.
Within 5 weeks they were out and installed the new door. Exceptional work. I am thrilled that we have a local business who does such great work.
Thank you! Lori Wear
12/27/2024 - I reached out this morning (not even sure if they were open but answered my call anyway) to set up an appointment with Chris and he took care of me immediately. Kevin showed up when he said he would and got right to working on my garage door. I am beyond grateful and thoroughly impressed at the customer service and great work they do! I highly recommend calling them, you will be treated like family...I sure was! Elizabeth J Hanson
11/01/2024 I called yesterday (Wednesday) and scheduled an appointment for Friday… received a text message today letting me know that they have a few free minutes if I was available for them to stop by… Kevin Showed up and got right to work… was in and out in less than 15 minutes and my garage door was working just like that!. Kevin was fantastic! Even went out of his way to add an extra bolt to make sure everything was secure and helped me program my keyless entry! Highly recommend! If I would have known it would be this fast and easy, I would have called two weeks ago! Thank you, thank you! Kayla Derrick

10/18/2024 - We had a great experience with BlackHawk. They were quick to come out to our home and give us a quote. Lots of options to choose from. The price we paid at the end was the price we were quoted at the beginning. Zero issues with installation. Top notch service. Shayna Reichert
7/26/2024 New garage door looks FANTASTIC. The company was very easy to work with and the install looks great, and no mess left behind! Steven R Larson
7/09/2024 Had a company come out and say it would cost $2200 to replace the whole thing. Black Hawk came out and replaced a couple parts for $172...... Hard to find good companies like this that do right by their customers. Would highly recommend. Aaron Burton
6/19/2024 - We LOVE our new garage flooring and garage doors! Many compliments were given over the weekend during our graduation party.
