What wears out a Des Moines door isn't just use — it's the weather. A cool, wet maritime climate — abundant rainfall, frequent fog, and damp, salt-tinged onshore wind much of the year drives standing damp that corrodes the lowest hardware first, high humidity that seizes rollers and hinges, and winter storm winds that stress door panels and seals, and we plan for all of it.
Garage doors in Des Moines tend to fail in predictable ways — moisture-faulted openers and sensors, drooping panels from waterlogged wood, rotted bottom seals and brackets, and fastener rot loosening the door assembly. Catching them early during a tune-up usually costs a fraction of an emergency call.
Track repair covers the rails that guide the door's rollers from closed to fully open. Tracks bend from vehicle impact, twist from heavy door weight on under-spec rails, separate from masonry as anchors loosen, and rust from coastal exposure. A door with a damaged track doesn't roll smoothly — it binds, jumps the rail, or stops short. Track repair re-straightens, re-anchors, and where necessary replaces the bent section so the door tracks straight again.
We use a laser alignment tool to verify the track sits parallel to its mate within tolerance. Eyeballing tracks for plumb is unreliable; the laser catches twist and tilt that the eye misses. After alignment, brackets are re-anchored to manufacturer torque spec — under-torqued brackets are a slow-motion failure waiting to happen.
Bent sections that can't be straightened are replaced from stock. We carry 2-inch and 3-inch tracks in galvanized steel and the bracket families for the major door brands. Most track repairs are completed in 60–90 minutes. Severely damaged tracks from major impact may require partial track replacement and a roller inspection (impact often damages the rollers and panel mounts simultaneously).
Roller comes out of the channel mid-travel. Stop using the door — the next cycle could leave the door off-track entirely.
Visible bend or kink in the track
Vehicle impact, ladder strike, or shelf collapse against the track all cause visible bends. Repair before continued operation.
Door makes scraping or grinding sound
Track misalignment or roller bind causes audible scraping. Often easy to fix in the early stage; expensive to fix after the rollers also damage.
Track separating from wall
Brackets pulling loose from masonry or framing show as gaps between the track and the wall. Re-anchor before track shifts further.
Door uneven side-to-side
If one side of the door is higher than the other when fully closed, one track may have settled or shifted.
Common causes & what we fix
Vehicle impact
Backing into the door or sliding the car into the open track is the most common cause of bent rails. Often comes with associated panel damage.
Bracket anchor failure
Anchors pull from masonry or framing over years of cycle vibration. Re-anchoring to fresh holes restores hold.
Rust through
Coastal corrosion eats through track bottom where water pools. Replacement section with galvanized track stops the progression.
Under-spec track for door weight
Builder installs occasionally pair light-gauge track with heavy doors. The track flexes over time and develops bend.
Settling building
Foundation movement shifts walls and the brackets that anchor to them. Tracks twist as a result.

Frequently asked about garage door track repair
Top questions homeowners searching for Garage Door Track Repair near me ask us:
What's the most common garage door problem in Des Moines?
In Des Moines it is usually moisture-faulted openers and sensors — and because the area has mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, we also see a lot of drooping panels from waterlogged wood. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
Do you cover the whole King County area, not just Des Moines?
King County, Washington, takes in Des Moines and the communities around it. We treat all of it as one service area — Des Moines and neighbors like Normandy Park, SeaTac, Lakeland North, and Kent — with trucks staged to keep dispatch times short and the same flat-rate pricing in every community.
How long does track repair take?
Most jobs: 60–90 minutes. Full track replacement (rare): 2–3 hours. Includes alignment verification and a balance test.
Should I replace tracks during a door replacement?
Yes — new doors should always be paired with new tracks and brackets. Reusing old tracks is a false economy that limits the new door's life.
Can a bent track be straightened?
Sometimes — mild bends in galvanized steel can be re-straightened with a track-press tool. Severe bends, kinks, and corroded sections need replacement.
Are galvanized tracks worth the upgrade?
In coastal zones — yes, almost always. Inland — standard tracks are fine. We default to galvanized within 5 miles of the coast.
