A crooked or uneven garage door in West Des Moines usually means a cable has slipped or snapped on one side. It's worth fixing quickly before it comes off the track.

Why does this keep happening in West Des Moines? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Freezing winters takes its toll — cold snaps brittle springs, and road salt corrodes hardware — so a crooked or uneven garage door is one of the more common calls our West Des Moines crews run.
