Homes and Garages in Arlington
Arlington lies between Cambridge and Lexington along Massachusetts Avenue and Route 2, with Spy Pond beside the center and the Minuteman Bikeway running the length of town, about 29 minutes from our Maynard base. Its housing is among the oldest we serve: Census estimates put the typical home at 1945, and 9 in 10 homes were built before 1990.
In July 2026 we fixed a broken Arlington door with two reinforcement struts, then lubricated and adjusted it. A strut is a steel bar bolted across the inside of a section to stiffen it, and it is a normal repair when a section has bent. On a house from the 1940s the garage opening may not be a standard size, so a new door is measured before it is quoted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about cable repair in Arlington.
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.
