Your garage door company in Challis
Paul's Garage Door Inc has been fixing garage doors around Challis and eastern Idaho since 2004. Most of what we see is one of a handful of failures — a snapped torsion spring, a frayed cable, a stripped opener gear, a door dragged off its track — and we carry the parts for all of them. You get the flat price before we start, whether it's a Tuesday afternoon or two in the morning.
Long, hard eastern Idaho winters are brutal on springs — cold steel is brittle steel, and most of our spring calls land between December and March.

Reviews
What Challis customers say
★★★★★
Door had been screeching for a year. Turned out to be the original steel rollers. Forty minutes and it's quieter than the dishwasher now.
Marcy T. · Challis, ID
★★★★★
Called at 11pm because the door was stuck wide open and I wasn't about to leave the house like that. Somebody actually answered and had it closed by half past midnight.
Ana-Lucia P. · Challis, ID
★★★★★
Quoted flat over the phone, charged exactly that, no weekend surcharge even though it was Saturday. Rare enough these days to be worth mentioning.

FAQ
Garage door questions from Challis customers
How long does a spring replacement take?
Usually under an hour and a half for a standard two-car door, including winding the new springs, re-setting the cable drums and balancing the door. We replace springs in pairs, so you're not back here in three months for the second one.
My spring broke — can I still use the door?
Don't. With a broken spring the opener is trying to lift the door's full weight on its own, which burns out the motor and shreds cables. Leave the door down, leave the opener alone and call us. If the door is up, don't stand or park underneath it.
What areas around Challis do you cover?
Challis itself plus the surrounding towns across eastern Idaho. If you're within driving distance and you're not sure, call (888) 904-6236 and ask — we cover a wide stretch of Idaho.
Which garage door and opener brands do you service?
All the common ones. Doors from Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Overhead Door, Raynor, C.H.I. and Haas, and openers from LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Linear, Marantec and Overhead Door.
How fast can you get to Challis?
Most days we can reach a Challis address the same day, and often within a few hours. Genuine emergencies — a door jammed open, a car trapped, storm damage — go to the front of the queue day or night. Call (888) 904-6236 and we'll give you a real time window rather than an all-day one.
Do you give estimates over the phone?
For most jobs, yes — tell us what the door is doing and we can usually put a flat number on it before we drive out. For new door installation we measure on site first, because headroom and backroom decide the hardware.
How much does garage door repair cost in Challis?
It depends on what failed, but the common jobs sit in predictable ranges: roller and hinge work at the low end, cable and opener repairs in the middle, torsion spring replacement above that, and a full door replacement highest. We give you a flat number before any work starts, and it doesn't move.
Garage door trouble in Challis?
