Why only garage doors

Almost every garage door call in San Diego comes down to the same handful of parts: two torsion springs, two lift cables, a set of rollers, an opener gear or trolley, a pair of safety sensors. Doing those jobs all day means the truck carries springs in the common sizes for a 1988 steel door and a 2015 insulated one, we know which opener takes which gear kit from a photo of the motor head, and we finish in one visit instead of a diagnosis visit and a parts visit.

It also means we are honest about scope. A dented section gets measured and quoted. A door that is rusted through or rotted gets referred to a licensed contractor for replacement. If a repair is not worth it, we say so.

How we work

  1. Straight diagnosis

    We check the springs, the cables, the balance and the opener and tell you which one is the problem. No upsell to a new door.

  2. The whole price, by text

    You see the total before we drive over, and the number in the driveway is the same number.

  3. Done right, once

    The right spring for the door weight, cables seated on the drums, a door that balances by hand and an opener set to the limits it should have.

  4. You run the door

    You open and close it yourself, by hand and by opener, before we pack up.

Licensing and trust

We are not a licensed contractor. Garage door repairs under $1,000 in labor and materials do not require a California contractor license (Business and Professions Code section 7048), and we stay inside that line. A new garage door is a job for a licensed contractor, and we say so.

That keeps the work to repairs on the door you have: no permit work and no new doors. Anything bigger gets a straight referral.

You get photo ID at the door, the price before any work starts, and the same number in a text.

Meet the technician

Niv, owner and lead technician: I answer the phone and I do the work. If your door needs a part I do not carry, I tell you before I drive out.

I care about the details that only show up when they are wrong. Springs sized to the door, not the nearest size on the shelf. A door that stays put at waist height with the opener disconnected. Sensors that are aligned, not propped. If it is not right, I am not done.

I explain what the door needs in plain English and let you decide, instead of selling hardware the door does not need. Often that means springs and cables instead of a new door, and I will tell you so.
