Garage door in Memphis

When the power goes out in Memphis, your garage door opener goes with it. A bow echo storm hit Memphis and Shelby County on the evening of Saturday, August 22, 2026, and knocked out more than 140,000 MLGW customers. The utility didn't call restoration complete until August 28. Along the way, it asked people still in the dark to check their weatherhead, where the service line meets the house.

The order of repairs explains the wait. MLGW's customer handbook says crews fix transmission lines, towers and substations first, then the distribution lines that run through the streets. The service line from the pole to your home is the last step. If your car is stuck behind a dead opener for days, the door's manual release is how it gets out, so find that release before storm season, not during it.

Keep the generator outside, too. MLGW's storm guide says never to run one indoors or in an enclosed area such as a garage, because the exhaust carries carbon monoxide.

The Memphis Police Department's crime prevention tips say to secure your garage door, even when you're at home. And treat the opener like your keys: never leave the remote inside a car that's parked outside.

Questions homeowners ask

How accurate is a photo estimate?
It’s a ballpark, not a quote. Your garage door shows up clearly in a photo — its size, material, and condition — but a pro who checks the springs and opener in person will always be more precise. Use our number as the range to expect before you start calling around.
What changes the price of a garage door?
First, whether you’re repairing or replacing — a spring or opener fix costs far less than a new door. For a replacement, the size (single vs double), the material (steel is cheapest, wood the priciest), and whether you add a new opener are the big factors.
Can you tell if my spring is broken from a photo?
Not reliably — a broken spring or a failing opener usually doesn’t show in a photo of a closed door. We’ll give you a repair range, but the exact part is best confirmed in person.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no spam. We only make money if you choose to connect with a local pro — and that’s up to you.
What photo works best?
A straight-on shot of the whole garage door from the driveway, plus a close-up of any damage like a dented panel, gives us the best read.
