Nothing to slow the wind
Cedar Valley is open country, and wind hits doors head-on. On larger outbuilding doors, the upper sections and track brackets take the brunt. Struts and solidly anchored tracks keep the door from flexing out of line.
Fairfield is a small, historic town in Cedar Valley, home of Camp Floyd. We work on homes, shops and outbuildings here when the drive is worth it to our neighbors out west.
Fairfield's open setting and agricultural roots shape what goes wrong with its doors.

Many doors here are on shops and equipment buildings that get heavy use in some seasons and almost none in others. A door that sits for months can have dry, rusty parts that fail the first time it's opened in the cold.
Unpaved roads and dry fields put dust into rollers and opener rails. Cleaning and lubricating the moving parts once a year prevents a lot of grinding and premature wear.
Fairfield, Utah County Home of Camp Floyd, which in 1858 held the largest concentration of U.S. troops in the country.
Homes in Fairfield are spread out, often with detached garages and larger shops. Some outbuilding doors are older and have been patched more than once over the years.
We can usually tell you on the first visit whether an older shop door is worth fixing or whether the money is better spent on a new one.
Local tip: If a shop door is used mostly in one season, cycle it a few times a month during the off-season. It keeps springs and bearings from seizing.
Fairfield is a longer trip for us, so call ahead. Grouping several doors into one visit makes the most of it.
Broken torsion or extension spring? We replace it safely and balance the door.
Openers that hum, reverse or quit. Repairs, new motors, remotes and keypads.
Off-track doors, snapped cables, worn rollers, bent tracks, sensors and hinges.
Standard to custom carriage doors, measured and installed by the owner.
A once-a-year check that catches small problems before they strand you.
Repair and service for shops, warehouses and storage buildings.
Yes. Fairfield is in our Utah County service area. Because it's farther from Highland, please call or text ahead so we can plan the visit.
Often, yes. If the panels and frame are sound, new springs, cables and rollers can restore an old door for far less than a replacement. If the sections are rusted through or badly bent, we'll tell you so.
Jacob was fast and efficient and reasonable. We were leaving town and he got in and fixed our broken spring before we left giving us peace of mind to enjoy our trip.
