Highland Lakes Garage Door and Opener Repair
Most Highland Lakes homes went up in the 2000s, so any opener still original to its house has around 20 years on it. When yours needs replacing, think about one with a battery backup, which keeps the door running when the power goes out. We install new openers and repair the doors and openers already up here.
- Family owned and operated for 20+ years
- Fast and dependable service
- Honest pricing with no hidden fees
On Top of Double Oak Mountain
Highland Lakes is a Census-designated place in Shelby County, inside the Highland Lakes subdivision off US-280, on top of Double Oak Mountain, the sandstone ridge that runs about 25 miles across the county. Eddleman Properties developed it, with 1,938 homes.
Census figures show about half of today’s homes were built between 2000 and 2009, and nearly every one is a single-family house lived in by its owner.

Openers That Keep Going in an Outage
A battery-backup opener has a rechargeable battery built in. When the power fails, it switches over and keeps opening and closing the door for a limited number of trips, so nobody has to wrestle the door by hand or leave a car shut in. LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Genie all sell openers with one.
Without a backup, an outage means pulling the emergency release and moving the door yourself, which is only safe when the springs are sound. With one, remember the battery wears out after a few years. An opener that starts chirping, or shows a warning light, is often asking for a new battery; its manual names the one it takes.
Worth a new opener if:
- It has been running the door since the 2000s
- The motor labors on the way up, or quits halfway
- An outage has left a car stuck in the garage
- The light or the remotes have turned unreliable
- It has no backup, and not everyone at home can lift the door by hand
If the door itself is out of balance, we fix that first; a new opener won’t cure a heavy door.
What We Repair and Install
Openers aren’t all we work on in Highland Lakes:
Broken Garage Door Springs
Broken or worn springs can make your garage door extremely heavy or prevent it from opening altogether. A loud bang, visible gap in the spring, or door that suddenly becomes difficult to lift can all point to a spring problem.

If the opener runs but the door doesn’t move, the remote stops responding, or the door reverses unexpectedly, the opener or one of its connected components may need repair.
Garage Door Opener RepairBroken or Frayed Cables
Garage door cables work with the springs to safely lift and lower the door. A loose, frayed, or broken cable can cause the door to hang unevenly and should be repaired before the door is operated again.
Garage Door Cable RepairWorn Rollers & Damaged Tracks
Worn rollers, bent tracks, or loose hardware can cause the door to shake, grind, squeak, or move unevenly. Repairing these components can restore smoother and quieter operation.
Garage Door Track & Roller RepairGarage Doors Off Track
A door can come off its tracks because of damaged rollers, broken cables, impact, or another mechanical failure. An off-track door can be unstable, so it should be inspected before you try to move it.

Dents, cracks, or impact damage don’t always mean the entire garage door needs to be replaced. Depending on the damage, an individual panel may be repairable or replaceable.

Common Questions
How long will a battery backup run my door?
For a limited number of trips, enough to get through a typical outage, not a week without power. The exact count depends on the model, the door and how charged the battery is.
My opener keeps chirping. What does that mean?
On an opener with a battery backup, a regular chirp usually means the battery is low, charging or worn out. If it keeps chirping long after the power is back, the battery most likely needs replacing.
Can a battery backup be added to the opener I have?
Some openers take a backup battery as an add-on; many older ones can’t. Read us the model number off the opener when you call, and we’ll tell you which kind you have.
How long does it take you to get to Highland Lakes?
Just under half an hour from our shop in Hoover with clear roads, about 17 miles out I-459 and US-280.
