Conway’s older housing stock means most garage doors here aren’t stock sizes and haven’t been for decades. That’s the difference between a company that shows up with a tape measure and one that shows up with a guess. Len Dougherty built this company around a simple promise: measure, shim, and repair to fit what’s actually in your garage, not what the parts catalog assumes.
Why Lighthouse Garage Door Service Is Conway’s Preferred Garage Door Repair Company
Homeowners in Conway call us because we speak the language of mid-century Florida construction. A 1962 ranch on a quiet street near the Conway Chain of Lakes has a different garage door situation than a five-year-old infill build off Hoffner Avenue. The original rough opening may have been widened in the 1980s, the header might be pine with an eighth-inch of sag, and the opener could be a 1/2-hp chain unit from the Clinton administration. We’ve seen it all in 32812, and we bring that pattern recognition to every job.
Our customers in Conway keep telling us the same thing: they want a straight answer and a repair that holds up through another humid summer. That’s why we quote the price before turning a single wrench, and why the price on the phone is the price on the invoice. No surprise line items. No “while we’re in there” upsells. Clear answers, not upsells.

Emergency Garage Door Repair in Conway
Emergency garage door repair in Conway is for the moment your door is stuck open with a car trapped inside, or stuck shut with a car trapped outside, or a spring snapped so loud your neighbor heard it. These calls take priority in our schedule for the 32812 area, and in most cases we arrive the same day. A broken torsion spring or snapped cable is dangerous to ignore. The door can drop without warning, and the spring itself is under enough tension to cause serious injury if mishandled. That’s a job for a trained professional with the right winding bars, not a YouTube search.
Spring and Cable Failures
A snapped torsion spring in Conway runs $180 – $340 to replace, depending on the spring’s cycle rating and whether it’s a single or double spring system. We replace both springs as a pair when one fails, because the other is usually weeks behind it. Cables run $130 – $250, and we replace them together so the door lifts evenly.
Opener Failures on Heavy Doors
When a Conway homeowner says their opener is dead, the opener is often innocent. We regularly find a tired torsion spring that lost tension, making the motor strain against a door it can’t balance. A 1/2-hp chain opener from the original build was never designed for the heavier sectional doors many Conway garages now have. We diagnose the actual cause and repair that, not just swap the motor and hand the same problem back to you in six months.
Garage Door Panel Replacement in Conway
Garage door panel replacement in Conway is common on the lower sections, where sprinkler overspray, lawn equipment, and the constant Florida moisture take their toll. A rusted-through bottom panel isn’t just ugly. It lets water, bugs, and hot air into the garage, and it weakens the door’s structure. Panel replacement in the Conway market runs $250 – $500 for a single panel, with the final price depending on whether it’s a standard stamped-steel panel or an insulated one on a door built this century.
Rust and Moisture Damage
Humidity is the enemy. Garages on the airport side of Conway see condensation that settles on steel panels and door hardware, especially when the door faces east and heats up every morning. We replace panels before the rust spreads to the stiles and hinges. Once the panel steel delaminates, the door can’t be repaired, only sectioned.
Matching Older Door Styles
Matching a panel on a 1970s door isn’t a stock-shelf job. Many Conway ranch homes have original doors with embossed patterns that manufacturers stopped stamping years ago. We source close-match panels through our supplier network and tell you straight if the better call is replacing the whole door. That’s a conversation, not a sales pitch.
Trusted Brands We Service in Conway
We work on the brand you already have. Our techs are certified on LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, and Raynor, which means we don’t have to learn your door in your driveway. When a Conway job needs a Wayne Dalton spring or a Craftsman opener logic board, we know the parts before we ring the bell. We stock common springs, rollers, cables, and safety sensors in our trucks so most repairs finish in one visit, and we order brand-specific panels and opener parts with next-day delivery for the 32812 corridor.

AfterCommon Garage Door Repair Problems We See in Conway Homes
- Non-standard rough openings from decades of remodeling. Conway garages built between the 1950s and 1970s were often widened or re-doored during later renovations, so the header is rarely square and the opening rarely matches a stock door. We measure, shim, and build to what’s actually there.
- Rust corrosion from lake-effect humidity and airport-side condensation. Steel panels, track rollers, and hinges near the Conway Chain of Lakes fail faster than inland homes. We see roller bearings seize and hinge plates flake on doors that are only ten years old.
- Openers blamed for spring problems. A straining 1/2-hp chain opener on a heavy sectional door is usually a symptom of a lost torsion spring, not a bad motor. Replacing the opener without checking the spring is how homeowners end up paying twice.
- Track misalignment from settling slabs. Conway’s sandy soil shifts, and garage slabs settle unevenly. That pulls tracks out of alignment, which wears rollers and makes doors bind halfway up. We realign tracks and level operators to restore clean travel.

FAQs About Garage Door Repair in Conway
Probably not without modification. Decades of widening and re-dooring on Conway’s mid-century ranch homes means the rough opening is often a half-inch to two inches off from a stock sectional door’s requirements. We measure the header, check the side clearances, and shim the opening before ordering or installing anything. Call (833) 613-0599 and we’ll verify your numbers before you spend a dollar on a new door.
The opener is usually working against a torsion spring that has lost tension or one that was undersized for the door’s weight to begin with. Many original Conway garage doors have been replaced with heavier sections over the years, but the spring and opener stayed the same. We check spring tension with a balance test, then replace the spring or upgrade the opener only if the spring proves healthy. Call us for a diagnosis instead of replacing the motor on a guess.
Faster than inland Florida. The lake-effect humidity around the Conway Chain of Lakes and condensation near the airport corridor accelerate rust on torsion springs, roller bearings, and hinge hardware. We regularly replace springs in Conway that are eight to ten years old but look fifteen, and we always install higher-cycle springs so the next replacement is further out.
Yes, and it’s a big quality-of-life upgrade for Conway homes near the flight approach corridors or the lakes. We install insulated door sections, replace bottom seals, and add perimeter weatherstripping to cut jet noise and block the damp air that corrodes your hardware and your stored tools. This is a re-door-with-weatherseal job, and it’s one of the most common requests we get in this pocket of Orlando.
Yes. For spring, cable, roller, and track failures on standard doors, we arrive with the parts on the truck and finish the job the same visit. For non-standard doors that need a measured part, we secure the door so it can’t fall, give you a written quote, and return as soon as the part lands. Call (833) 613-0599 and we’ll tell you which situation you’re in before we dispatch.
