Spring, opener, panel, cable, track, or full replacement — we stock parts for all of it on every truck.
Snapped torsion spring with a clear gap in the middle = you're stuck. Most common call we get. We stock every common size on every truck. In and out, usually 45 minutes.
Opener won't respond, motor hums but door won't move, or sensors keep flashing? We service LiftMaster, Genie, Chamberlain, and Sommer. MyQ retrofits available on most models.
New door installs start with a free onsite measure. Steel, insulated steel, wood, glass-aluminum. Same-day removal of the old door on install day. Hauled off, not left in your driveway.
Answering at 11pm on Christmas isn't a marketing line. It's the job. Truck rolls within two hours in metros, four in rural. Trip charge waived if you book the repair.
Auburn-Opelika is a landlord market. Most of our Auburn volume comes from property management companies running multi-property portfolios — student rentals, faculty homes, 2-3 bedroom duplexes across Lee and Russell counties. We negotiate multi-property service agreements: quarterly inspections across your portfolio, priority emergency dispatch during move-out season, and volume pricing on repairs.
Student rental doors see 15–20 open/close cycles a day during semesters — roughly 3x residential use. That means springs last half as long, openers burn out faster, and moving panels get more abuse. We pre-stage parts for client portfolios to cut repair turnaround on tenant complaints.
Dispatch from our Montgomery hub — about 90 minutes. Phenix City and Smiths Station (across the river into Georgia-border country) add 15–20 minutes.
Yes. Multi-property agreements include quarterly preventive inspections, priority dispatch during August move-in and May move-out, and volume pricing on springs ($165/pair vs. $200+ single-property) and opener replacements. Portfolios of 5+ doors get dedicated account management.
For contract customers, yes — we pre-stage common replacement parts. For non-contract landlords, we work same-day or next-day depending on backlog. Emergencies get priority slots.
About 90 minutes from our Montgomery hub. Phenix City adds 15–20 minutes. Smiths Station similar. Waverly and Notasulga are further — usually next-day service for non-emergencies.
Cycle count. A student rental door gets 15–20 cycles a day. Residential average is 4–6. Springs, cables, and openers are all rated in cycles, not years — so everything wears 3x faster. We recommend proactive replacement before the 10k-cycle mark.
Three recent jobs. Different problems, different neighborhoods, same flat-price approach. Drag the orange handle on any door to see what we changed.

We've watched too many Alabama homeowners get re-dispatched three times for a broken spring. That's why we stock parts on every truck, quote over the phone, and send the same tech from call to fix.
"Spring snapped at 8:40 PM on a Sunday. Wife's car was locked inside. Guy on the phone told me it sounded like a torsion break, quoted me flat over the phone . Two hours later we were parked in the garage again. Same number he quoted, no tricks."
"Storm knocked out our opener and bent the top panel. Two other companies wanted to sell us a whole new door. Paragon replaced just the panel and the opener motor for under half. Still looks brand new a year later."
"Honestly my LiftMaster died after 12 years and Paragon told me up front the old unit wasn't worth repairing. Installed a new belt-drive opener the same afternoon. Walked me through the MyQ app before he left. Didn't try to upsell me on anything."
Dispatch trucks based in Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery, and Mobile — covering the entire state with same-day response. If your city's not listed, call anyway. We probably still come.
