The typical home in Salem was built in 1938, and about 9 in 10 were built before 1990. If the opener in one of those garages has never been replaced, check for the two small safety sensors near the floor. Openers made since 1993 must reverse when something is in the door's path (federal rule 16 CFR 1211), and photo-eye sensors are how nearly all of them do it. An opener with none is usually older than the rule and worth replacing.
Standard garage door springs are commonly rated for about 10,000 open-and-close cycles. At four cycles a day that is about seven years, so a door installed before 2019 that still has its original springs has usually passed that rating.
About half of Salem's homes are rented, so we also take calls from landlords and property managers, and the written price goes to whoever is paying.

"I highly recommend Eric, we had him fix our garage door few months ago, recently we were having some issues with it. I called Eric on the weekend and he immediately answered the phone, and came within an hour to our place to fix it. I was extremely impressed about how responsive and thorough professional Eric is."
"Eric was able to help me out on a super cold Monday holiday recently. He was able to diagnose my issue and get my garage door working again. Price was fair and he was very good at providing some insight into things to keep an eye on moving forward. I'll definitely keep him on speed dial for whatever I run into next."
"Our technician Eric came on time gave a more fair price then we were previously quoted from another company and did the job quickly and thoroughly and now our door is working better then ever (even got rid of that annoying clicking noise we used to have)."
Salem is a coastal city on Route 1A and Route 114, with the harbor downtown, the McIntire Historic District just west of it and Salem Willows on the point to the east, about 50 minutes from our Chelmsford base. Its housing is among the oldest we serve: Census estimates put the typical home at 1938; only about 1 in 4 homes is a detached house, and half are rented.
Salt air is hard on a garage door: rollers, hinges, springs, bottom brackets and the bottom edge of a steel door rust faster within a few blocks of the water. A yearly coat of garage door lubricant helps, stainless or galvanized replacement hardware lasts longer, and a rusted bottom bracket, which holds the lift cable under full spring tension, is a job for a technician. Salem has historic districts, so check with the city before changing a door that faces the street.
Whether your door is stuck or you need an estimate for a new install, call, text, or request service online. Call for urgent repairs and to confirm the next available appointment.
