The most common garage door repairs typically involve broken springs, which bear the heavy lifting and often snap due to wear. Damaged cables or rollers can also cause the door to become stuck or operate unevenly. A malfunctioning opener, often due to a faulty sensor or motor, is another frequent issue. Off-track doors and worn weather seals are also common problems that affect performance and energy efficiency.

Homeowners insurance typically does not pay for garage door repairs caused by general wear and tear, lack of maintenance, or normal aging. These are considered part of routine home upkeep. However, your policy may cover repairs if the damage results from a specific, covered peril, such as a storm, fire, vandalism, or a vehicle accidentally hitting the door. You should review your policy's deductible, as the cost of a minor repair might be less than that amount, making a claim impractical.
