Garage Door Repair for Ketchum, Idaho
Paul's Garage Door Inc handles garage door repair for Ketchum homes and businesses, usually the same day you call. You get a flat price on the phone and the same figure on the invoice, whatever hour we turn up.
Most calls we take are one of six failures: a broken torsion spring, a snapped lift cable, a stripped opener gear, a door off its track, a blocked or misaligned safety sensor, or hardware that has simply worn past tolerance. Each one looks similar from the driveway and each one needs a different fix.
The technician runs the door manually first with the opener disconnected. That single step separates a door problem from an opener problem in about a minute, and it stops you paying for a new opener when the real fault is a spring that can no longer carry the weight.
Wind off the Snake River Plain drives grit into track and hardware, and farm and shop doors out here cycle far more often than a typical suburban door.
What this covers
- Door won't open or won't close
- Grinding, banging or screeching on travel
- Door reverses partway down

What Ketchum customers say
★★★★★
Cable snapped and the door was hanging sideways. Told me over the phone not to touch it, which was good advice because I was about to.

Backed into my own door, which was a great start to the week. They matched the bottom section and it looks like nothing happened.

Spring went at 6am with my truck locked in. Called, got a real person, had a tech at the house before nine and both springs swapped by ten. Price was exactly what he said on the phone.

FAQ
Garage Door Repair in Ketchum — your questions
Why won't my garage door open?
In Ketchum the usual suspects are a broken torsion spring, a snapped cable, a stripped opener gear or a door pulled off its track. Pull the red emergency release and try lifting by hand: if the door is impossibly heavy, it's a spring; if it lifts easily, the fault is in the opener.
The door opens a few inches then stops. What's wrong?
Usually the opener hitting a force limit because something is binding — a bent track section, a seized roller, or a door frozen to the slab in winter. Forcing it repeatedly is how track gets bent, so stop and call.
Can I fix a garage door myself?
Rollers, hinges, weather seal and sensor alignment are fair game for a confident homeowner. Springs and cables are not — they hold enough stored energy to break bones, and that's the part of the job we'd ask you to hand over.
Is it worth repairing an old garage door?
Often, yes. A well-built door lasts twenty-five to thirty years and most of what fails on it is hardware, not the door itself. We'll tell you when it's past that point rather than keep charging you for repairs.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays?
No. The price we quote is the price you pay whether it's Tuesday lunchtime or two o'clock on Christmas morning. We don't run an overtime rate.
Can you repair my door or do I need a new one?
Most doors can be repaired, and we'd rather fix yours than sell you one. The line we use: if the repair costs more than about half a new door, or you've paid for three repairs in two years, replacement is the cheaper road. We'll quote both and let you choose.
Can you install a garage door opener I bought myself?
Yes. We'll fit a customer-supplied opener, though we'll check first that it's rated for your door's weight and height — an underpowered unit on a heavy insulated door is a short-lived opener.
