Garage door repair and storm fixes for Brookwood homes

Track twisted, panel dented, or the door will not close since the last storm? Brookwood has grown quickly along SR 216 east of Tuscaloosa, and its wooded lots mean falling limbs and gusts are a regular cause of garage door damage.

Straight answer

A Brookwood garage door hit by wind or a falling limb should stay closed until someone checks it. The springs above the door still hold the full weight, and running the opener against a bent track can tear the hardware out. We make the door safe, replace damaged sections or track, and rebalance it before handing back the remote.

Trees, outbuildings and a town that keeps adding homes

Brookwood sits in wooded country east of Tuscaloosa, and many homes here share their lot with tall pines and hardwoods. That is pleasant until a storm drops a limb across the driveway. Garage doors take hits from debris and from straight-line gusts, and the usual result is a creased bottom section, a bent vertical track or rollers forced out of the channel. For a door that is crooked in its opening, an off-track repair is the first step before anything else gets replaced.

Many Brookwood properties also have a detached shop or carport building with its own overhead door. Those buildings usually lack the bracing of an attached garage, so a strong wind can push the door in more easily. When a homeowner is replacing a damaged door anyway, we often suggest a storm-rated garage door with reinforcing struts.
