Garage Door Garage Door Repair South San Francisco, CA
In South San Francisco, every garage door repair starts with the local picture — a mild Mediterranean climate of warm, dry summers and gentle, damp winters, with low annual rainfall and abundant sun. We choose hardware that survives California's Mediterranean climate region, not whatever's cheapest on the shelf.
In California's Mediterranean climate region, a mild Mediterranean climate of warm, dry summers and gentle, damp winters, with low annual rainfall and abundant sun. For South San Francisco garages that translates into long dry spells that crack aging weatherstripping, dry-season dust that works into open tracks, and mild but steady humidity swings that quietly seize hinges, so our tune-ups focus on the components that wear first under these conditions.
Across Sunshine Gardens, Westborough and Sign Hill, what brings South San Francisco homeowners to us is drifting travel limits on aging chain-drive openers, frayed lift cables on aging sectional doors, sun-faded, brittle weather seals along the bottom panel, and corroded low brackets on homes near the coast — and we resolve it without a second visit.
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. 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.
