Garage Door Install & Repair Springs. Cables. Openers. Done Right.
Single-bay residential garage doors only — installs, broken springs, snapped cables, opener swaps, sensor alignment. We don't do commercial overhead or multi-bay industrial doors.
Most garage door problems trace to one of four parts: a broken torsion spring, a snapped cable, a misaligned safety sensor, or a tired opener motor. NHS handles all four on residential single-bay doors. We don't try to be a roll-up, sectional, and slide-up shop — we do residential overhead doors and the openers that drive them, full stop.

Cold-Weather Garage Door Problems
Garage door repair searches in Indiana peak in January. Cold doesn't break a healthy spring, but a spring near the end of its life has less margin when the steel is cold and the grease is stiff, and that is when it tends to let go. Other winter problems on single-bay residential doors: an opener that strains or reverses because the door has gotten heavy to lift, safety sensors knocked out of line, and a cracked bottom seal letting leaves and cold air in. Springs run $185 to $460, cables $185 to $315 and sensor fixes $150 to $285, per the table below. See all fall and winter services.
