Garage door emergencies can occur unexpectedly, leaving your home vulnerable.

Garage Door Won't Close Solutions
If your garage door won’t close, there are several potential solutions to consider. First, check for any obstructions in the door's path that might be preventing it from closing. Ensure the safety sensors are clean and properly aligned, as misaligned sensors can cause the door to malfunction. It’s also important to inspect the tracks for any debris or damage that could interfere with the door’s movement. You may need to adjust the limit settings on the opener to ensure the door closes properly. Lastly, test the remote control and wall switch to make sure they are functioning correctly. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, our technicians are available to provide professional diagnostics and repairs to get your garage door working smoothly again.
Cost of Garage Door Repair
The cost of garage door repair can vary based on the nature and extent of the damage. Factors influencing the cost include:
Type of repair needed (e.g., spring replacement, panel repair)
Parts and materials required
Labor costs
Emergency service fees, if applicable
At ProLift Garage Doors of West Des Moines, we provide transparent pricing and detailed estimates to ensure you understand the costs involved before any work begins.
Garage Door Sensor Alignment
Proper sensor alignment is crucial for safe garage door operation. Misaligned sensors can prevent the door from closing. Here's how to align them:
Locate the sensors on either side of the door, near the floor.
Loosen the screws holding the sensors in place.
Adjust the sensors until the LED lights on both sensors are solid.
Tighten the screws to secure the sensors in their new position.
Test the door to ensure it closes without issues.
Garage Door Maintenance Tips
Regular maintenance can extend the life of your garage door and prevent costly repairs. Here are some tips to keep your door in top condition:
Lubricate moving parts, such as rollers and hinges, every six months.
Inspect and tighten hardware, including bolts and screws.
Test the door balance and adjust springs if necessary.
Clean the tracks to remove debris and ensure smooth operation.
Check the weatherstripping for wear and replace if needed.

Phenomenal service.
Phenomenal service. Very professional, quick, and exactly what I asked for. Eric offered to fix a few other things that I deferred and wasn’t pushy, but included the items on an itemized quote at my request for if I changed my mind and wanted to get them done. Highly recommend.
Daniel Douglas
Very nice people, professional
In Oct '24 the spring on our older overhead door broke. No cord on the opener so we could not get out of the garage. ProLift quickly came over to help us get the door to a point where we could manually open & close. They returned with parts and fixed it in no time, spending extra time to get the door lined up, lubed up, and running smoothly. Fast forward to Jan '25 where a cable snapped on a Sunday evening. Now the door won't close. Another call to ProLift and here comes the owner, in the cold and dark to help us get the door closed. The next morning his crew came early to replace both cables, lined up and lubed up the door again and we are back in business, with a 1-year warranty to boot. Very nice people, professional, responsive, meticulous workmanship. They have earned my respect, trust, and business.
V Loebig
Very Professional and Friendly
I met Trent at an expo show. He is not only professional but very friendly. I was recently contacted by Prolift for a check-up deal service. Eric came out and was equally professional and friendly. I'm excited to see the company grow and will be recommending them to others!

Amazing Job Replacing Our Garage Motor
Travis and his associate did an amazing job replacing our garage motor, sensors, and remotes! They also installed weather stripping all along the garage! We have been pleased with their work, and they came on a very chilly day to do it all with zero complaints of it being cold from either of them! They worked nonstop and diligently until the job was done. Will be recommending them to anyone needing garage door maintenance!
Andrea Goldsmith
Exceptional Service by ProLift
I am so grateful for the exceptional service provided by ProLift Garage Doors of West Des Moines. On a Friday afternoon just before an ice storm was predicted to hit, my garage door stopped working. I submitted a service request to my home warranty company and they assigned the request to ProLift. It was 7 pm and technically 'after-hours' before the technician, Trent, was able to reach out to me. Fortunately, he was able to troubleshoot and help me resolve the issue over the phone and get home safely before the freezing rain started. Trent was kind and helpful and provided me with clear instructions, allowing for a quick resolution to the issue without hassle. What impressed me most was that ProLift did not charge me for this after-hours help since they didn't need to make an actual service visit to my house. This level of customer service and care is rare these days and truly appreciated. I highly recommend ProLift Garage Doors of West Des Moines and will definitely reach out to them in the future if I have any other garage door issues! Thanks again for your time and help, Trent!

Craig Went Way Beyond Expectations
Craig from ProLift went way beyond expectations for what was to be a simple garage door tune-up. Both doors now close fully to the garage floor. The doors are significantly quieter. Best of all, the light works, something I have not been able to get to work since we moved here.
Kenton Young

I can't say enough about ProLift Garage Doors
We used ProLift Garage Doors out of Des Moines to install a fairly large (11'x18') overhead door and side-mount operator in a storage building. Trent and his installer Travis were awesome! First off, our shed is located 90 miles north of Des Moines (next to a cabin we own on a lake), and Trent was more than willing to go that distance. He asked all the right questions to ensure we got just the door we needed, made some valuable suggestions, and never oversold us with options we did not need. Travis showed up and did a wonderful job on installation. There was an adjustment issue that came up shortly after install, and they were right there the next day to address. The door looks and works great! I can't say enough about ProLift Garage Doors and would highly recommend them for any kind of overhead door need.

Highly recommend!
Travis was very professional in communicating what he was doing when installing a new opener for my garage. He came early and was very understanding when my 7-year-old wanted to go see what was going on. He didn’t make me feel like my son was an inconvenience and even had my son saying he wanted to work on garage doors when he grows up! They don’t overprice! Highly recommend!
