Bill Reynolds Jr. Garage Doors is the Hudson Valley's longtime garage door repair shop. Since 1963 we have been the people Putnam, Westchester, and Dutchess homeowners call when the door won't open, the spring breaks, or the opener stops working. Our 9-person local crew responds same business day on most calls — usually within an hour during business hours.
Broken Spring Repair
The most common Hudson Valley garage door call — especially after winter cold snaps. A broken torsion or extension spring leaves the door dead-weight: too heavy to lift safely, often stuck shut. Do not try to replace a garage door spring yourself. Torsion springs hold extreme tension and have caused fatal injuries.
Reynolds carries common torsion springs (high-cycle and standard-cycle, multiple wire diameters and inside diameters) on every truck. Most spring jobs are diagnosed, priced, and completed in a single visit. We always recommend replacing both springs at the same time on a 2-spring system — the second one is on the same wear curve as the broken one.
Opener Repair (LiftMaster + Other Brands)
We repair LiftMaster openers of all ages and most other brands. Common issues:
- Motor capacitor failure (motor hums but door doesn't move)
- Logic-board failure (lights flash, no response)
- Drive gear and sprocket replacement (chain or belt slips)
- Safety-eye misalignment (door reverses for no reason, won't close)
- Remote programming, keypad reset, MyQ pairing
- Battery backup replacement
Cables, Rollers, Hinges, Bearings
Cables come off the drum when a spring breaks (or when the door is forced manually with the opener engaged). Rollers wear and start to grind. Hinges crack with age. Bearings squeal. Reynolds carries the common parts and most fixes are same-visit.
Panel Replacement
Backed into the door? A single dented panel on most Clopay collections can be replaced without buying a whole new door — assuming the panel is still in production. We confirm availability with Clopay before quoting and order direct.
Weather Strip & Bottom Seal
The bottom rubber seal and side weather strip wear out — especially after Hudson Valley winters. Worn seals let cold air, water, leaves, and rodents in. Reynolds replaces both as a quick service-call add-on.
Tune-Ups & Preventive Maintenance
For typical residential doors, a tune-up every 2-3 years extends the life of the spring, opener, and panels. Tune-up includes: lubricate hinges and rollers, check spring tension, balance the door, test safety eyes, inspect cables and drum, lubricate opener chain or belt, replace remote batteries.
Repair Pricing — What to Expect
Real prices vary with door size, spring type, and what else needs attention. These are typical Hudson Valley ranges — your written estimate will be exact, and you authorize the work before we start.
