A Trusted Garage Door Repair Company Since 2004

Every homeowner experiences garage door trouble at some point, and when it happens, you want a professional who knows what to look for and can fix it correctly the first time. NJ Door Doctor started with a simple mission: deliver dependable repairs using high-quality parts, honest recommendations, and a customer-first approach.

Our technicians work with all major makes and models, including LiftMaster and Craftsman, and arrive fully equipped to diagnose and repair the issue on the spot.

Common Garage Door Problems We Fix

Garage door systems are made up of dozens of moving parts. When one component stops functioning, it can affect the rest of the system. That’s why we offer a wide range of repair services, covering everything from small adjustments to full replacements of damaged parts.

Our Most Common Repair Requests Include:

Garage door torsion spring, rusty, mounted on white wall.
Damaged electrical cable, black, with exposed copper wires and blue insulation against white background.

Snapped cables

Small issues can quickly turn into more serious dangers if left untreated. A weakened spring, for example, may cause the door to slam shut without warning. Calling early ensures your home stays safe and your door remains functional.

When to Call for Professional Garage Door Repair

Garage doors are heavy, some weighing more than 200 pounds. Attempting DIY repairs can be extremely dangerous, especially if springs, cables, or tension systems are involved. At NJ Door Doctor, safety is always our top priority. We encourage homeowners to give us a call at the first sign of trouble, including:

Partially open metal garage door casting a shadow on a red and yellow interior wall.

The door only opens halfway.
