Garage door repair in Shallowater, for the house door and the shop door behind it
Shallowater is a small agricultural town with its own school district, about twelve miles northwest of Lubbock, where a lot of properties have two garage doors that matter: the one on the house and the much bigger one on the shop or equipment shed out back. We work on both, and the dust out here is not a season, it is the air.
Shallowater sits on the open plain north of the Lubbock city limits with cotton fields on every side, and when the wind gets up there is nothing between the fields and the garage doors. Residential doors here suffer the standard South Plains failures at an accelerated rate: photo-eye lenses that need wiping after every blow, roller bearings that pack with grit in a few years, bottom seals abraded flat, and openers whose rails carry a coat of dust and grease. Sealed rollers, light lubrication and a yearly tune-up are not optional advice here; they are the difference between a door that lasts and one that does not.
Then there are the shop doors. Many Shallowater properties, in town and on the acreages around it, have a metal building with a twelve-, fourteen- or sixteen-foot overhead door for a tractor, a pickup with a stock trailer or a stripper. Those doors are heavy, on high-cycle springs or ought to be, often on operators with open drives that fill with dust, and they tend to get fixed when they finally refuse to open with equipment inside. We carry the commercial springs and parts, schedule farm visits after harvest and before planting, and treat a shop door stuck with equipment behind it as the emergency it is.
Shallowater is a same-day town for stuck doors, and the drive is short enough that there is no premium for it. Texas has no license for garage door work; the technicians are insured and the certificate comes first.

Asked in Shallowater
Why does our door reverse after every dust storm?
The photo-eye lenses are filmed over. Wipe them and the lights should go steady. If it keeps happening, the sensors can be shaded or swapped so the receiver faces away from the sun, and the yearly tune-up includes them.
Can you fix the door on our shop building?
Yes, including commercial springs, operators and the big doors on equipment sheds. Tell us the door height and what is parked inside.
Our shop door is stuck with the tractor inside. How fast?
Treated as an emergency. Someone picks up at any hour and the technician calls back with a window.
Should we lubricate the tracks more because of the dust?
No. Grease plus grit is sandpaper. Tracks are cleaned dry and a light coat goes on hinges, roller stems and springs only.
Do you charge extra to come to Shallowater?
No. The service call is the same $75 to $175 and goes toward the repair.
Are you licensed?
Texas does not license garage door work. The technicians are insured and the certificate is sent before the visit.
