“Overhead door” is the umbrella term for any garage door that opens upward — most often a sectional door rolling into ceiling tracks, but also tilt-up (one solid slab) and roll-up (curtain into a barrel) variants. UGR services all overhead door styles in Edmonton.

Overhead Door Styles & What Goes Wrong
Sectional Overhead (most common in Edmonton)
4–5 hinged horizontal panels rolling into the ceiling. See our sectional door page for full detail.
Tilt-Up (one-piece) Overhead
Older single-slab door that pivots on side hinges and lifts as one piece. Less common today. Common issues:
- Pivot hinge wear or rust
- Spring tension imbalance (single torsion or pair of side springs)
- Door binding mid-lift
- Frame separation in older wooden tilt-ups
Roll-Up Overhead
Mostly used in commercial/industrial buildings — a single steel curtain that coils into a drum above the door. Rare in Edmonton residential garages but we service them too.
Common Overhead Door Problems
- Won’t open — broken spring or snapped cable (most common cause)
- Heavy to lift manually — spring tension lost
- Door reverses partway down — safety sensors misaligned, or opener limits need adjustment
- Loud, shaky operation — worn rollers or hinges
- Door stuck off-track — roller out of channel, bent track, or off-track event after a forced operation
- Drafts and pest entry — worn weather seals on bottom or sides
- Opener won’t respond — see opener repair

FAQ
What’s the difference between “overhead” and “sectional”?
“Overhead” describes how the door opens (upward). “Sectional” describes how the door is built (multiple hinged panels). Most residential overhead doors are sectional. Tilt-up and roll-up are also overhead, but built differently.
Should I repair my old tilt-up door or replace it?
If the frame is solid and parts are available, repair is fine. If the frame is rotting (common in older wood tilt-ups) or pivot points are warped, replacement with a modern sectional is usually the better long-term value.
Do you service commercial overhead doors?
Yes — for residential-scale commercial overheads. For heavy-duty industrial roll-ups, we recommend a specialist provider; we’ll point you to one if needed.
How fast can you come for an overhead door emergency?
Same day for most calls in Edmonton. For “door stuck open” or “won’t close” security emergencies, we prioritize within hours, 24/7.

SAMPLE · Edmonton homeowner
“Spring snapped on a Saturday morning. UGR answered the phone right away, came within two hours, replaced both springs, and the door was working again before lunch. Price matched the quote — no surprises.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spring replacement · Same-day
SAMPLE · West Edmonton
“Honest assessment. They could have sold me a whole new door but explained that just the cables and a few rollers would do it for under $300. Door has been quiet ever since. Will call them again.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cable + rollers
SAMPLE · St. Albert direction
“Backed into the door, panicked. They came out same evening, free inspection, gave me both options (single panel vs. full door) with prices for each. Went with single panel — installed two weeks later, looks like new.”
