Our Services
Complete garage door repair & installation
Lighthouse offers the complete range of residential garage door services at every Chicagoland location: new door installation with design consultation, spring and cable replacement, opener installation and repair, track and panel repair, insulation upgrades, and weather sealing for the winter. The work is done to a premium standard with materials chosen for the climate, and it is done by technicians who trained in-house, arrive at the scheduled time, and leave the garage cleaner than they found it. Whether it is a detached alley garage in the city or a three-car facade in Naperville, the door gets the same care.

Urgent Repairs
Garage door stuck open or broken?
When a garage door fails in January, it rarely picks a convenient hour. Call your nearest Lighthouse location during business hours, Monday through Saturday, 9 AM to 5 PM, and you will reach a person who can move an urgent repair to the front of the schedule and tell you what to do in the meantime. If the door has dropped or come off its track, keep clear of it until the technician brings it back into service safely.
- Urgent repairs prioritized in the schedule
- Door secured and made safe
- Technicians dispatched from your location
- Written pricing, no surprises

FAQ
Answers to common questions
Everything you need to know about our garage door services. Can't find your answer?
Each Lighthouse Garage Doors location keeps the same hours: Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with Sunday closed. Repair, installation, and consultation appointments are set within those hours. If you call late on a Saturday, the location will hold a slot for you on the next open day and tell you how to keep the door safe until then.
Call or contact the location closest to you, or send your details through the contact form on this site. Describe the problem, or the style of door you are considering, and mention any dates that work for you. A staff member at that location confirms the appointment by phone. There is no online scheduling; every appointment is arranged with a person who can answer questions first.
Three things go wrong in an Illinois cold snap. Steel springs contract and lose lift, thick summer lubricant turns to paste in the hinges, and the rubber bottom seal freezes to the slab. Do not keep pressing the remote, since the opener can strip its gear or tear the seal. Pull the release, lift by hand if it moves freely, and call your nearest location for a winter tune-up or a spring check.
Please do not. The spring carries almost the entire weight of the door, and without it the opener is dragging two hundred pounds or more on a motor built for a fraction of that. Cables can jump the drums and the door can come down hard. Leave the door where it is, keep cars and people out from under it, and contact the location to arrange a spring replacement.
The technician inspects the door first, then writes a quote that lists the parts, the labor, and the total before any tool comes out of the truck. You approve that figure or decline it. The written quote is honored as written, so the total on the invoice matches the total you agreed to. Diagnostic time is explained up front when the appointment is arranged.
Every installation carries our workmanship warranty, and the doors, openers, and springs we fit carry their own manufacturer coverage. The exact terms for your job are printed on the written quote and again on the invoice, so there is no need to remember them. If something we installed does not perform as it should, call the location that did the work.
