Garage Door Repair
Whole-system garage door repair from a fully-stocked truck. We diagnose, quote a flat rate, and fix springs, cables, rollers, hinges, panels, and openers in a single visit.
Our San Jose garage door repair crews stay local to Santa Clara County, so dispatch is fast and follow-up is easy. With a cool maritime climate shaped by bay fog and the marine layer, with mild temperatures but heavy seasonal moisture in play, we spec parts that hold up here.
If you've owned a garage door through a few San Jose seasons, you know the pattern: a cool maritime climate shaped by bay fog and the marine layer, with mild temperatures but heavy seasonal moisture brings high humidity that swells wood doors and seizes hinges and persistent bay fog and damp air that corrode unprotected hardware. We size and protect replacements accordingly.
Most San Jose service tickets come down to intermittent openers tripped by moisture in the wiring, fog-corroded springs and fasteners on hillside homes, and swollen, sticking wood doors in high humidity. We carry the springs, cables, rollers, and opener boards to handle all of them out of one truck.
Garage door repair is our highest-volume service — over 60% of all dispatches. Trucks are stocked for the failure modes we see most often: torsion and extension springs in the common sizes, lift cables in two diameters, rollers (steel and nylon), hinges in all positions, photo-eye sensors for the major brands, opener gears and capacitors, and bottom astragal seals. Stocking depth is why our first-call fix rate hits 96% — most repair calls are resolved without a follow-up visit.
Every repair starts with a flat-rate diagnostic. The tech listens to the symptoms, inspects the system, and quotes a fixed price before doing the work. There are no hourly creep surprises and no commission on the technician's part — they're salaried, so they have no incentive to up-sell unnecessary work. The price quoted is the price you pay.
The 10-year workmanship guarantee is on the labor itself, separate from any part warranties. If a repair we performed fails because of how we installed it, we return and fix it at no charge for ten full years. Parts carry their respective manufacturer warranties (lifetime for original-homeowner 30,000-cycle springs, 5 years on most other parts).
New squeaks, grinds, or pops are the first signal of component wear. Catching it at this stage usually means a lubrication or single-part fix instead of a major repair later.
Door uneven when closed
A gap on one side when closed indicates a cable or spring imbalance. Continued use accelerates wear on the loaded side.
Door reverses before fully closing
Modern openers reverse when they detect resistance. Premature reversal usually means a balance, sensor, or photo-eye issue worth diagnosing.
Visible damage to springs, cables, or panels
Visible damage rarely fixes itself. Calling at first sight prevents the damaged component from cascading into more failures.
Opener works inconsistently
Remotes that work intermittently, doors that randomly refuse to close, or wall consoles that need multiple presses all indicate electrical or sensor faults worth diagnosing.
Common causes & what we fix
Wear from cycle accumulation
Every component on a garage door has a finite cycle life — springs and cables in the 10,000–30,000 range, rollers and hinges further out. End-of-life is normal and predictable.
Coastal corrosion
Salt-air corrosion accelerates wear on uncoated steel. Trucks carry galvanized and powder-coated replacements specifically for coastal zones.
Impact damage
Vehicles, sports equipment, and storms cause sudden damage that needs immediate repair to prevent the system from failing catastrophically.
Power surges
Logic boards and capacitors in openers are surge-sensitive. California grid events take out a steady stream of opener electronics.
Missing maintenance
Doors that haven't been lubricated or inspected in 3+ years accumulate small problems faster than maintained doors.
