Chelmsford was built out mostly in the post-war decades: Census estimates put the typical home at 1967, and about 8 in 10 were built before 1990.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about cable repair in Chelmsford.
How much does garage door cable repair cost?
Cable repair runs $200-$400 on its own. Need springs replaced at the same visit? Torsion spring replacement is $475-$1,200; extension spring replacement is $325-$750, parts and labor included. You get the written price before any work starts. Emergency calls are $300 minimum, which covers the visit and the repair up to $300; a bigger repair costs the same as it would scheduled.
Can I use my garage door with a broken cable?
No. Stop using the door and leave it where it is. A slack or broken cable can leave the door hanging unevenly, and the cable and bottom bracket are under spring tension: don't pull the cable, loosen the bottom bracket or try to wind the cable back onto the drum. Keep people, pets and cars clear of the opening, and when you call, say whether the door is closed, partly open or hanging crooked.
Can you fix a broken cable the same day?
Calls are answered 7am to 7pm, Monday to Sunday. Same-day service when the schedule allows. Outside these hours, leave a message for a call back first thing. Replacement cables are carried on the truck.
