Dude... That Was An Easy New Door Sale But I'll Give It To You You're One Of The Mcgyvers Of The Garage Door World. Well Done. I Definitely Learned a Thing Or Two
Thank you. It was nerve wracking for sure, but I've got the kind of drive that wants to conquer what others don't even want to attempt. It took a while but I loved how it made me feel when I was done and victorious. LOL Thanks for the engagement Tam.
Great Videos from you. Thank You, Sir. It would greatly help if you comment on why such situations happen. Why does the door buckle and how did your repair help correct the problem.
It can be one of a few reasons. It mostly happens due to homeowner error. Such as storing things in the corner by the garage door tracks and those objects fall in the way as the garage door is shutting and causing the cables to come off. It also happens when the customer backs out before the door is raised all the way and hit the door. Another common reason is broken garage door spring. If there is only one spring then once it breaks there is nothing holding the tension anymore so the door is in free-fall mode. Lastly, it could be old age of the garage door components. After arriving and inspecting the door and carrying out diagnostics, depending on what I find is how I begin to offer recommendations.
I know you got this done. What I would have thought to do is support the upper panel with straps. Then immobilize the spring. Take the door apart from the bottom up. Then reassemble. I would think that would remove some of the risk of the door shifting and falling.
That’s what’s up bro ..got that sucka..love the videos bro..I’m trying to get in the business over here where I’m at your vids been a big help for me learning..
its lucrative brother for sure and one business that will never go away. doesn’t take but a few jobs sometimes to equal the common work week for most individuals. It’s a needed and almost even required job for homes so, very good stable career to get into
@@robertduncan2607 Thanks man. No, I didn’t replace a single parts. I just had to take the vertical tracks off and kind of prefabricate them there on site with some pliers and a hammer,lol. This job in all honesty took me about two hours. Maybe 2 and a half because I had to go slow and really be safe. So had to think about pressure and release points etc. But, the guy paid me $649 to do all that and save his door so not too bad.
@@robertduncan2607 hey brother, that previous comment i left you under the username @jessebadbass is my other company, lol. I didn't realize I was logged under a different account when I had replied to you. Yeah, I design fishing lures and clothing apparel as well. Quite the entrepreneur huh, lol.
Bro...I hate PPE but, you should really think about at least some safety glasses when you're strapping stuff like that. Just in case something flies loose my brother. You only got one set of eyes. Lol, I would've probably even had my hard hat on for that one, you know, just in case. Great job though! I'd like to get started in the business myself, so you're a great inspiration and learning tool. Keep up the hard work man! 👍🏻💯
@@Whiteboinok much appreciated. I should definitely take on that advice because I have almost cut my finger off and have had a distal bicep tear where I tore my bicep in and off of my forearm completely and was down for a few months after surgery.
I knew you were good enough to fix this one amigo. Hey! Ive got a question for you: Before you removed the last panel, how did you handled the tension of the springs Did you take off the tension bedore you released them from the vice grips? Because I suppose the last panel still had the cable tensioned.
i asked him, he said maybe later but right now he couldn’t that’s why he said if i could save his door and not have to get a new one he would pay me decent bc he couldn’t afford a new door at the time. He said the lowest quote he got on a new door was $1300 so i offered to fix it for $600 out the door and he agreed. So in his mind i saved him $700. We all win!
Thats all labor too since i had to downstack the door. So no parts or inventory off my truck. Just straight profit for my time and efforts. Thats good stuff right there. I’m willing to get my hands dirty to get paid

Wow! Just wow…Wonderful job Sir. I would not dare standing near that let alone fixing it.
Thank you. It was nerve wracking for sure, but I've got the kind of drive that wants to conquer what others don't even want to attempt. It took a while but I loved how it made me feel when I was done and victorious. LOL Thanks for the engagement Tam.

It's amazing that you were able to handle that by yourself! Did you have to replace any tracks? How long did it take? Very informative. Thanks

Don't try to be the Superman. Sometimes Jobs require 2 people to do it safely.
Is he going to put a opener on the door
