Springs, cables and stuck doors
Most no-open calls trace back to a spring, a lift cable or the opener.
Steel, carriage house, glass and wood
Measured, delivered and installed, with the old door hauled away.
Belt, chain and wall-mount openers
Battery backup, keypads and app control set up on the same visit.
We service and install openers and doors from LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Clopay, Amarr and the other brands already in most Houston garages.
Before you touch the door
Garage door stuck? Read this first
Most of the calls that reach DP Garage Door Company start the same way: the door made a noise it never made before, then stopped. Sometimes it is a snapped torsion spring, sometimes a sensor knocked out of line by a recycling bin, and sometimes the opener itself has run out of years. The finder below helps you tell them apart.
Straight answer
Most Houston garage doors that refuse to open have a broken spring, and a torsion spring replacement typically costs $140 to $350, per This Old House's 2026 figures. Leave the door down, keep the car in place, and do not let the opener keep trying, because it strips gears lifting a dead weight.
Find the failed part
Which part of the door gave out?
Six parts cause nearly every no-open call. Match what you saw or heard to a part, and you will know which repair you are reading about.
- Torsion springA loud bang from the garage, then a door far too heavy to lift.
- Lift cables and drumsA cable hanging loose, or the door sitting lower on one side.
- Rollers and trackGrinding, popping, or rollers that have jumped out of the track.
- Opener and railThe motor hums or clicks, but the door stays where it is.
- Safety sensorsThe door starts down, reverses, and the opener light blinks.
- Sections and bottom sealA dented bottom panel, or daylight showing under the door.

Why Houston doors wear out
What heat, humidity and storms do to a garage door
Houston air is wet most mornings, and that moisture settles on the bare steel of a garage door every night. Springs, lift cables and the bottom brackets where the cables anchor are where rust shows up first, and a rusted cable is one that frays. When we replace a spring here, we check the cables and brackets on the same visit for that reason.
Then there is wind and power. Any garage without a battery backup opener had to be opened by hand during the Beryl outage. South of the city, Brazoria County sits inside the state windstorm catastrophe area, and garage doors are on the list of items TDI checks for a windstorm certificate, which matters if you are replacing a door in Pearland.

Two offices, one phone line
A northwest Houston service office and a Pearland head office
Both offices answer the same number, so you never have to work out which one to call.
Service office, northwest Houston
6641 Theall Rd, Houston, TX 77066Our service office sits among the newer flex warehouses off Theall Road, between SH 249 and US 290. Jobs across the north side are scheduled from here, and the subdivisions around it are mostly early-1980s homes with original-era hardware.
Head office, Pearland
Pearland, Texas 77584Our head office is in Pearland, a city that grew from about 37,600 residents in 2000 to more than 125,800 by 2020, so much of its housing, and its garage doors, went up in the same two decades.

From the call to the last test
What happens after you call
You call, any hour
Tell us what the door is doing, whether a car is stuck inside and whether the door is open or shut.
We ask the useful questions
A bang, a hanging cable or a humming motor each point to different parts, so we know what to bring.
We look before we price
On site we check springs, cables, rollers and the opener, then explain what failed and the price before work starts.
We repair or replace
Worn parts come off, matched parts go on, and new springs are sized to the actual weight of your door.
We test it with you
A balance check, the auto-reverse test with the sensors, and a few full cycles while you watch.
Shopping for a new door
Four door styles Houston homeowners ask about
Every style below comes in sizes for single and double openings, with insulation and window options. Open a style to see what it costs to own here.
How a visit runs
What you can expect on every job
Springs in matched pairs
On two-spring doors we replace both, because the one that has not broken yet has run the same number of cycles.
Balance checked before we leave
With the opener disconnected, a balanced door holds steady at half open. A door that drifts is not finished.
You see the worn part
A frayed cable or a cracked roller is shown to you before you approve the repair, not described after.
Sensors and reverse tested
Every visit ends with the auto-reverse test, so the door stops and backs up when something is in its path.
One number, any hour
The same line answers at noon and at 2 a.m., including weekends and holidays.

Questions we hear
Garage door questions Houston homeowners ask
Not safely. The spring carries the weight of the door, so with it broken the opener and your arms are lifting the full load. Leave the door down if it is down, keep the car where it is, and call so the spring can be replaced before the door moves again.
Single-part repairs such as a roller or a cable typically run $98 to $300 nationally, and complex repairs reach $300 to $860, according to This Old House's 2026 cost guide. Spring replacement lands between $120 and $350 for most doors. We price your door on site after we see what failed.
Yes. We repair and replace the opener brands most Houston garages already have, including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie and Craftsman, and we can add a wireless keypad or app control to many of them.
Check that the door is fully closed, pull the red emergency release cord on the opener trolley, and lift the door by hand. If it will not stay up or feels very heavy, a spring may be broken, so stop and call. A battery backup opener avoids the problem in the next outage.
Yes. The service office on Theall Road handles the north and northwest side, and the head office in Pearland covers the south side. Our coverage areas page shows every county and city and where coverage stops.
Yes. Brazoria County, where most of Pearland sits, is inside the Texas Department of Insurance designated catastrophe area, and garage doors are on TDI's list of items checked for a windstorm certificate. We install doors with the wind rating your address calls for.
