Dents are one thing. A door that now rubs, sticks or runs crooked is another, so if the Boxing Day storm or a later one left yours like that, stop using the opener until it’s been looked at. Don’t try to straighten a bent track or panel yourself. If you’re claiming the damage on insurance, ask your insurer how they want the repair handled before you book. Photos of the damage, taken before anything is moved, help too.

If you rent in Rutherford, the property manager or landlord needs to hear about the damage first. When you call us, explain where the damage is, what sort of door it is, and if a vehicle is stuck behind it. Agree to the referral, and a garage door business that works in Rutherford can arrange a time to look at it.
