Areas We Serve
Novato plus the towns and neighborhoods listed below. Don't see yours? Call anyway and ask.
What We Actually Do
We work on garage doors and the parts that make them move: torsion and extension springs, openers, tracks, rollers, cables, and panels. Most of the houses we get called to in this area went up between 1938 and 1996, with the bulk of the stock dating to the 1960s and 70s across the neighborhoods we cover. That matters because a door built to that era's rough opening and hardware standard doesn't always match what's sold off the shelf now, so we spend real time matching track width and spring wind before we quote anything.
Novato sits in a mild temperate band, so the doors we replace usually fail from age and wear, dry-rotted seals, worn rollers, a spring that's cycled past its life, rather than from extreme heat or cold cracking panels the way you'd see in a harsher climate. That's good news for repair costs; it's bad news if you were hoping the weather would explain a problem that's really just an old door.
We don't do decorative iron gates, fence work, or general handyman jobs. If what you need isn't a garage door, opener, or the hardware attached to it, we'll say so on the call rather than send someone out to guess.
Contacting Us
Call (628) 221-4630. That's the fastest way to get a real answer about a broken spring, a door that won't open, or an opener that's stopped responding. Tell whoever answers what the door is doing, grinding, sagging on one side, not moving at all, and they'll tell you roughly what that sounds like and what a visit costs before anyone drives out.
Our address is 8 Digital Dr, Novato, CA 94949. We don't run a walk-in showroom out of that address; it's where the business is based, not a place to browse doors in person. If you'd rather start online, our site is at /.
One honest limit: some parts, especially less common opener models or discontinued panel styles, take longer to get than a same-day fix. If your door needs one of those, we'll tell you the lead time on the call instead of promising a same-day job we can't back up.
Who Does the Work
The person who answers your call is also involved in scheduling the job, and the person who shows up at your door is the one doing the repair, there's no separate sales visit before the actual work. We don't publish a staff count or a truck count here because that number changes and it doesn't tell you anything about whether your spring gets fixed correctly.
What we can tell you is what we work on: torsion and extension spring replacement, opener installation and repair, track and roller service, cable replacement, and panel repair or replacement on both single and double doors. If a job needs a part we don't stock, we'll say so rather than take the job and stall.
We don't claim years in business or a founding date on this page, because a number without context is just a number. If that history matters to you, ask on the call, we'd rather answer directly than print something for a webpage.

Contact FAQs
Do you come out to Fairfax or San Anselmo, or just Novato itself?
Yes, both are within our regular range, Fairfax and San Anselmo are about seven miles out. We cover a wide stretch of Marin, from Black Point-Green Point two miles away out to the North Coast at eighteen. Call and give your address; we'll tell you straight away if it's in range.
What's the fastest way to reach someone about a broken spring?
Call (628) 221-4630. Describe what the door is doing, won't open, sagging, grinding, and you'll get a rough idea of the problem and the cost before anyone drives out. We don't run a walk-in office, so phone is quicker than showing up at 8 Digital Dr.
My house is from the 1960s, does that make the repair harder?
Sometimes. A lot of the homes we work on here were built in that same 1960s-70s window, and older track widths or spring winds don't always match parts sold off the shelf today. We check the existing hardware before quoting so you're not stuck with a mismatched fix.
Do you install brand-new doors or only repair existing ones?
We handle both installation and repair, openers, panels, springs, tracks, and full door replacement when a repair isn't worth it anymore. If your door is old enough that patching it will just mean another call in a year, we'll say that plainly rather than sell you a repair that won't hold.
Tell Us What the Door Is Doing
Call and we'll ask a few questions before a truck leaves, then give you a straight answer on repair versus replace.
