A garage door won't close when it starts down and then stops or reverses back up on its own.

The broader rundown of Pearland TX garage door repair explains how these jobs get priced.

Why a garage door won't close — the sensors are the first suspect

Anything that interrupts that beam — a stray object rolled into the doorway, direct sun hitting the lens at the wrong angle, or a buildup of dust or a spiderweb — stops the door from finishing its close, or sends it reversing partway down. This one cause accounts for a large share of won't-close calls before anything else on the door even gets checked.
