Bent or wandering tracks set straight again — across Wellesley, Newton, Natick, Needham, Framingham, Weston, Brookline.
Garage door tracks hold a tolerance of millimeters, and New England spends all year attacking it. Winter frost heaves the slab, summer humidity swells the framing the brackets bolt into, and the annual breathing works lag screws loose a fraction at a time until the door starts rubbing, shuddering, or throwing rollers. Then there are the sudden causes — a bumper tap on an icy morning, a ladder stored against the rail, a snowblower parked an inch too far.
We straighten what's safe to straighten, replace what's kinked past saving, and re-anchor the run into solid framing. On this housing stock — hundred-year-old garages in Newton and Brookline, mid-century capes in Natick, new construction settling into its first winters — track alignment isn't a rare failure, it's scheduled maintenance nobody scheduled. Fixing it right ends a lot of mystery noises for good.
Freeze-thaw is the patient enemy of track alignment: the slab moves, the wood framing swells and shrinks, and every cycle of it backs the anchors out a little more. Flash rust inside the channel roughens travel in ways owners blame on the opener. We re-anchor into sound wood, true the channel, set the roller gap exactly — and the door forgets the whole ordeal.
Plumb, level, gap and parallelism measured down the full run of both tracks.
Straighten versus replace decided per section, one approved price.
Sections trued or replaced, brackets upgraded, anchors set into wood that holds.
Full cycles with roller seating checked at every height.
