Most calls we get fall into one of these ten jobs. If yours doesn't, call anyway. Odd problems are usually just a familiar part failing in an unusual way.

Learn moreWhy homeowners call us
Garage door work has a reputation problem. Plenty of people have been told they need a new door when they needed a $15 part. We'd rather be the company you call again in ten years.
Price first, then work
We look at the door, explain what failed and give you the number in writing. If you say no, you don't owe us for parts we didn't install.
Repair before replace
A 20-year-old steel door with a broken spring usually just needs a spring. We'll only bring up a new door when the old one honestly isn't worth fixing.
Stocked trucks
We carry common springs, cables, rollers, hinges, sensors and openers, so most repairs are finished on the first visit instead of needing a second trip.
Licensed & insured
California requires a contractor's license for this work. Ours is CSLB [CSLB LIC #], and you can look it up on the CSLB website before we ever show up.
Bay Area garages wear out differently
A garage door in the Outer Sunset lives a different life than one in Livermore. Here's what we see most, depending on where you are.
Fog and salt air on the coast
In San Francisco, Daly City, Pacifica and Alameda, moist salty air rusts springs, cables and bottom brackets years early. Rust also hides cracks, so a coastal spring can look fine right up until it snaps. Galvanized and oil-tempered parts with regular lubrication hold up better.
Heat out in the Tri-Valley and Contra Costa
Summers in Concord, Walnut Creek, Pleasanton and Livermore bake the weatherstripping, dry out roller bearings and make openers work harder. Insulated doors make a real difference here if the garage doubles as a gym or workshop.
Low headroom and odd openings
Eichler homes in Palo Alto, Sunnyvale and San Jose, and older SF garages that open right onto the sidewalk, often don't have room for standard track. We use low-headroom kits and wall-mount openers that fit.
Steep driveways
On hillside streets in the Oakland Hills, Berkeley and Daly City, a door that sits on a slope never closes evenly. A tapered bottom seal and a properly set close limit stop the gap that lets rain and rodents in.
Power outages
PG&E shutoffs during fire season leave people unable to get their car out. Since July 2019, California law (SB 969) requires a battery backup on every new opener installed in a home. We install compliant openers and can check whether yours has one.
Older homes, older doors
Lots of East Bay and Peninsula homes still have one-piece tilt-up doors or wood doors from the '60s and '70s. Some are worth saving. Many are heavy, unsafe and impossible to find parts for. We'll tell you which one you have.
How a service call works
Call or send a request
Tell us what the door is doing (or not doing). A quick photo or video helps us bring the right parts. We'll schedule a same-day visit whenever we can.
We diagnose and quote
The tech checks the whole system, not just the obvious broken part, then gives you a written price. Nothing gets done until you approve it.
Fix, balance, test
We make the repair, balance the door, set the opener force and safety reverse, and walk you through what we did. Old parts get hauled away.

Garage door FAQ
Do you offer same-day garage door repair?
Yes. We offer same-day service across the Bay Area for repairs, and we put emergencies first, like a car stuck inside or a door that won't close. Call (000) 000-0000 and we'll tell you what's available today.
How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?
The most common sign is a loud bang from the garage, followed by a door that won't lift or that the opener strains against and then stops. On a torsion system you'll often see a visible gap in the coil above the door. Don't keep running the opener, and don't try to lift the door by hand. It can weigh 150 to 300 pounds without the spring.
Should I repair my garage door or replace it?
Most doors are worth repairing. Springs, cables, rollers, hinges and openers are all replaceable parts. Replacement starts to make sense when several panels are damaged, the model is discontinued, the door is a heavy old wood or tilt-up style, or you're paying for repairs every year. We'll give you both prices so you can decide.
What brands do you work on?
We repair and install LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Linear and Marantec openers, and we service doors from Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, C.H.I., Raynor and most other residential manufacturers.
Does my garage door opener need a battery backup in California?
Any opener installed in a California home since July 1, 2019 must have a battery backup under SB 969, and a new garage door can't be connected to an old opener that doesn't have one. If your opener is older, you're not required to replace it, but you'll have to if you replace the door.
Do you give free estimates?
Quotes for new doors and openers are free. For repairs, we diagnose on site and give you a written price before doing any work. Call us for details on the service visit.
