Broken spring, opener that will not run, or an original carriage door binding in its track? We cover South Pasadena seven days a week, usually the same day.
We cover the City of South Pasadena throughout: the streets off Mission and Fair Oaks, the blocks along Monterey Road and Huntington Drive, Marengo, Oak Street and the neighbourhoods up toward Garfield Park and Orange Grove. Same-day slots are usually available. Diagnosis and estimates are free, and we work 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM, seven days a week.
South Pasadena has protected its architecture more carefully than almost any city in the county, and that changes what a garage door job looks like here. The housing is largely Craftsman bungalows, California bungalows and period revival homes from the 1900s to the 1930s, with a detached garage at the rear of a long driveway that was built to match the house. Owners here do not want a plain steel panel bolted onto a 1912 property, and in many cases the city's design expectations for street-visible work mean it would not be appropriate anyway. So the emphasis is on repair and preservation: re-springing and re-hanging a heavy original wood door, replacing rotted stiles or hardware rather than the whole door, and fitting carriage-style doors that read correctly when replacement really is the only option. Mature street trees drop debris into these long driveways and bottom tracks year round, which is another regular cause of a door that suddenly will not seat.
We re-spring and re-balance heavy wood doors to their real weight, replace cables, rollers, hinges and track, clear and realign bottom tracks, reset off-track doors, and repair or replace openers with quiet units suited to an older structure. Photo-eye safety sensors are fitted where they are missing, which on doors of this age is most of the time. Every visit ends with a balance test and a reverse test.

However old the door, the underlying fault is usually one of these. Diagnosis is free and the common parts are on the truck:
