Handy man garage door repair.
Pros
Saves money that day
Cons
You'll have to keep fixing your garage doors over and over again.
Cheaper parts need to be replaced more often which ends up costing more.
i.e. low cycle garage door springs
Not replacing damaged or worn parts require extra labor and service charges when the damaged part breaks. Also a broken part will cause other damage to garage doors or garage door openers.
i.e. worn cables
We have seen other companies make their repair cheaper by not replacing worn parts. A recent customer was able to get a spring replaced for $20 less than our quoted price. The problem was that they only replaced 1 spring and our quote was for replacing 2 springs and a steel center bearing. Our repair would have lasted her over 10 years. The cheaper repair will most likely only last her a year.
Pros
Fix your garage doors right and they can last over 10 years.
Less expensive in the long run.
Your car wont be stuck in the garage so you won't miss work.
Garage door repairs can be very technical. If they're done incorrectly it can cause injury, property damage and even death.
Cons
It costs more upfront
