Hueytown, Home of the Alabama Gang
For many years Huey, later Hueytown, was one of the largest unincorporated communities in Alabama. It became a city in 1960. Through the 1960s and early ’70s it was home base for the NASCAR drivers known as the Alabama Gang, and its main road, Allison-Bonnett Memorial Drive, is named for the Allisons and Neil Bonnett.
By Census estimates, half of Hueytown’s homes were built before 1972, more than half between 1950 and 1979, and nearly 9 in 10 are detached houses. In an older garage, the space above the door is the first thing to measure.
It’s about 19 miles from our shop, out I-20/59 and in along Allison-Bonnett Memorial Drive.

One-Piece Doors, Sectional Doors and Low Ceilings
A one-piece door is a single slab that tilts out and up on heavy springs and pivot arms mounted at the sides of the opening. When those springs or arms wear out, the door can drop or twist as it swings, and it swings out over the driveway every time it opens. Most doors made today are sectional: panels hinged together that roll up on tracks, with springs above the door.
A standard track needs about a foot of space between the top of the opening and the ceiling. If your garage has less, door makers offer low-headroom track; Clopay lists a rear-mount setup that needs as little as 4½ inches. We measure the headroom, the side room and the depth before we price a new Amarr or Clopay door, so the one we order fits.
Time to think about a new door if:
- The door swings out and up in one solid piece
- A side spring or pivot arm is bent, rusted or loose
- The door drops fast or hangs crooked as it opens
- You have to step back as the door swings out
- You can’t park close to the garage because of the swing
- There’s very little room between the opening and the ceiling
A one-piece door that drops or twists can hurt someone. If yours is acting up, keep clear of it and call us.
What We Repair and Install
New doors are one job. Here’s everything else we do in Hueytown:
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.
Garage Door Spring RepairGarage Door Opener Problems
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.
Off-Track Garage Door RepairDamaged Garage Door Panel
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
Can a one-piece garage door be replaced with a roll-up door?
In most garages, yes. The new door rolls up in sections on tracks, and if there’s little room above the opening, low-headroom track can make it fit. We’ll measure and tell you what will work.
How much room do I need above the door?
A standard track needs about 12 inches above the opening. Low-headroom track needs less: Clopay lists as little as 4½ inches for its rear-mount version. We’ll check your garage before you choose a door.
Will a sectional door swing out over the driveway like my old one?
No. A sectional door rolls straight up and back along the ceiling, so it doesn’t swing out at all, and you can park closer to the garage.
Do you serve all of Hueytown?
Yes, the whole city, including the Virginia Estates and Edenwood subdivisions on the old Virginia Mines land. We cover Bessemer and Pleasant Grove next door, too.
Is it worth repairing an old sectional door instead?
Often. If the panels are sound and the trouble is a spring, cable or roller, we’ll fix it. On a one-piece door, it’s the side hardware that wears out, which is why a new door is more often the better buy there.
