They were the ones that got here within an hour. Fixed/ so we could get our cars out. We then chose a new heavy duty insulated door- installed 2 days later. During this process they were thorough,reasonable, honest, and very nice. Bruce has a great team!
Fast forward just over 2 months ( dead of winter).
Our drive is very steep, so I like to back in so I can pull out. Today I ran errands and came home. I backed in – I went very slowly, I hit the button for the garage to open, I hit a patch ice and slid into the lowest panel. I called 5 Star and Bruce was able to send Shane out before 6:00. And our panel can be repaired.
This is the company you want to use is you have ANY garage door needs! You will not regret your choice! Susan V. Farmington, Michigan

Garage Door Repair West Bloomfield, MI 5/5 Stars – “YELP REVIEW” – “This is the second time I’ve worked with this company. First time I just picked up some parts. This time around I called because of a stubborn garage door that won’t close properly at a new house my wife and I bought. I initially called a different company that quoted me a five day waiting period before they could come out and a $85 service call. 5 Star doors came out the next day. The tech arrived promptly and was very professional. The door was fixed within 20 minutes. I fully expected to be charged a service call fee which I would have gladly paid considering the problem was solved in such a timely manner. However, I was not charged for the service. I tried to pay the tech but he refused and simply asked that I use them when I replace the motor and/or door. Service like this is hard to find. Dan J. West Bloomfield, Michigan

Garage Door Openers
Chamberlain & Liftmaster Openers
With so many selections and options in today’s garage door openers, you want to select your next opener, so you never have to think about it again for many years to come.
Some of the Chamberlain/LiftMaster openers we sell, offer special features like battery backup or a timer that will automatically shut the door behind you one to ten minutes later. While the door openers on our menu vary regarding power, noise, and options, they are all useful in the opening and closing your door safely for many years. Here are some essential attributes we like with the Chamberlain/LiftMaster door openers:
We found that the 1/2-horsepower motors were best suited for steel sectional doors under 300 Lbs. The 1.25 HP motors are more than capable of lifting wooden doors provided the door is properly balanced. Each of our featured openers is capable of opening a standard 7-foot door, and extension kits are available if your door is 8’ for $51.00
The Chamberlain 1.25 HP unit is forward-looking and designed to unite seamlessly with home computerization systems. They include a timer-to-close option that automatically shuts the door for you. The unit also has a backup power source, so you are never stuck with an inoperable door during a power outage.
All of the openers on our menu run on either a chain or belt drive system. While the chain and belt drive are quiet, the belt drive tends to be the quietest door opener, so it a must have if you have a bedroom above or nearby.
Chamberlain openers with MyQ technology, allow you to control your overhead door from a remote location through your phone. The door opener’s built-in Wi-Fi connects straight to your home Wi-Fi router. Allowing you to close your garage door from wherever you are through a MyQ smartphone app. The con, however, is an internet gateway ($58.00) is required for the MyQ to work on the majority of the models.
We offer Four of Chamberlain’s most popular models plus we also stock LiftMaster versions of similar products (Chamberlain manufactures Liftmaster openers). Though details and features may vary slightly, key specifications are identical, and so should be performance and overall satisfaction. Compare our installation package against Lowes, Home Depot or Sears. Chamberlain or LiftMaster – Chain Drive or Belt Drive 5 Star Doors has your opener
Garage Door Rollers
Many garage door rollers have unsealed bearings that no longer function after years of rolling back and forth in a dirty garage. The rollers condition can be so severe that the barrings within are frozen in place as the garage door cycles. The only thing you have to contemplate when you are going to replace your door rollers is the size of the garage door that you have. For a 7’ steel residential garage door, you will need ten rollers. Five-panel doors or 8’ doors will require 12 rollers.
Replacing garage door rollers can be dangerous and be should be done by a trained professional. If your rollers are worn or noisy, consider having Five Star Door replace them with quiet nylon rollers with sealed bearings that eliminate the need to grease
Garage Door Springs
Your Safety Is Our Highest Priority
Garage door torsion springs are a vital part of your garage door operating system. When a spring breaks it can jeopardize other components of the door system and become a safety hazard for anyone in it vinsanity.

From replacement springs and extension springs to Wayne Dalton spring conversion kits, we service every make and model garage door manufactured; we aim to offer the very best overall garage door experience possible.
Garage Door Spring Repair Common Industry Practices
But what if company A replaces garage door springs engineered to lift 210 pounds. Again the door is 30 pounds out of balance but this time it’s too light. To compensate, the service person would reduce winds onto the spring, and no one’s the wiser. By removing winds off the springs it may keep the door closed, but now there are not enough winds on the springs to keep enough cable tension on the spools up above. A light garage door is the most dangerous of improper balancing. You would not want the door to shoot up into the open position when the red rope was yanked. Doors that are too light can be dangerous to use. READ MORE…

Wayne Dalton Torquemaster System
Five Star Doors recommends converting your Wayne Dalton spring system to a traditional spring system. The traditional spring system dollar for dollar far exceeds the value Torquemaster system and the cost to convert the system is less than repairing the Torquemaster System and will last substantially longer.
Garage Door Struts - Is your Door Bending or Sagging?
Does your garage door open and close easily stopping anywhere in the middle of the opening without banging down or rolling back up? If not, your torsion springs are out of balance or worst a broken spring. There is too much strain on the door and opener. Therefore, the springs should be adjusted.
Garage door struts stiffen sections of the door to prevent them from bending or breaking. Struts help make each section/panel rigid so the door will open and close smoothly. If the sections are not rigid, your garage door will bend as it opens and closes.
Residential single doors typically do not need struts unless it is a steel door that is motor-operated. We recommend, a strut across the top section to prevent the top of the door from bending if the opener force is out of adjustment.
Doors over 10 feet wide usually have at least one strut across the top panel. Five Star Doors adds an additional strut to all our garage door installs. A 16′ wood door should have 3 or more struts, but insulated steel doors should have at least two.
When we add one or more struts to your door we factor in the additional weight. Struts weigh about twelve pounds for a 16′ door. If you add two struts, it will cause your door to be out of balance. We adjust your spring tension accordingly, or we recommend replacing your torsion springs. Otherwise, the extra weight will shorten the life of your garage door opener.

Garage Door Off Track Repair Services What To Expect From Five Star Doors
Garage Door Off Track
Sometimes your garage door can get off track if it tries to shut and there is an object obstructing its path. Or, it can come off track from normal wear and tear of the tracks or the garage door panels may get out of alignment.
We Can Get You Back On Track! Just as the picture shows, if your door came off One or both tracks your door will tilt at an angle or worst yet fall off entirely. Regardless, your door will not be able to open or close and in its current state presents a safety hazard to anyone standing in the vicinity. Besides, may also increase the overall repair cost. But First: Unplug your opener from the electrical outlet, preventing an unknowing guest from opening the garage door
What Caused This To Happen?
ome events can cause garage doors to jump their tracks. The most common source of damage is from vehicles hitting the rail or garage door itself. Bent or damaged tracks won’t allow the door rollers to operate smoothly, and can cause them to “jump” off track.
Another reason for doors to fall off their track is a broken cable. In this case, the portion of your door off its track/rail is a secondary symptom of your garage door assembly issue. Cables may break due to normal wear and tear over many years. When one cable breaks, your door will only raise on one side when opened, leaving the broken side hanging. Opening or closing your door in this condition is an accident waiting to happen.
Does your garage door have a bent or rusted out door rail/track?
Your garage tracks play an essential part in the garage door and opener system. If the door cannot open and close smoothly, it can shorten the lifespan of your opener, cables, hinge’s and even become a safety issue should the door come off the rails.
A Five Star Doors service technician will do a 20 point inspection of your entire door system, assess the damage and replace the damaged track. Once the new track is back in place, the service technician will ensure that both rails match up perfectly, and your garage door opens and closes smoothly.
