When you need garage door service in Concord, experience matters. I've been repairing and servicing garage doors here for more than 30 years. From broken springs and opener problems to doors that are off track or won't close properly, I'll diagnose the problem and tell you exactly what it needs. In many cases, I can even narrow down the issue over the phone and give you a rough idea of the cost before I come out.
Not every problem requires a service call.
If it's something simple, I'll walk you through it over the phone.
Yes — you'll get me, Larry. I'm the owner and the technician. No dispatchers, no middlemen.
Same day in most cases. If it's a broken spring or something urgent, I'll tell you exactly when I can be there.
Most of the garage doors I repair in Concord are the standard steel sectional type. Every once in a while I'll get a call for one of those old one-piece wood tilt-up doors. They're a lot heavier than modern doors, the hardware is outdated, and sometimes the conversation is less about repairing them and more about whether the repair is worth it.
When I come out, I don't just look at the one thing that stopped working. Sometimes a broken spring is just a broken spring. Other times it's been putting extra strain on the opener or causing other parts of the door to wear out faster. That's what I'm trying to figure out when I inspect a door, because I'd rather solve the whole problem than have you dealing with another breakdown a few months later.
Most of the calls I get in Concord involve broken springs, opener problems, or a garage door that just isn't working the way it should.
For doors that are stuck, noisy, off track, hanging unevenly, or not closing properly. I repair broken springs, cables, rollers, tracks, sensors, and most common garage door issues. Most repairs can be completed the same day because I stock the parts needed for the problems I see most often.
Garage Door Repair →
For broken garage door springs, doors that won't lift, or doors that suddenly feel too heavy to open. Most spring replacements are $400 out the door, including both springs, labor, and tax. I carry a variety of springs on my truck, so most repairs can be completed the same day.
Spring Repair →
For garage door openers that have stopped working, make strange noises, or only work intermittently. Sometimes the opener is the problem, and sometimes it's the door putting extra strain on it. I'll figure out what's causing the issue and let you know whether it makes sense to repair the opener or replace it.
Opener Repair →
I install and replace garage door openers of any brand, and the units I sell and recommend are LiftMaster — chain, belt, and jackshaft, whichever fits your garage. The price I quote is all-in: the opener, the labor, and the tax; no add-ons after. Every install includes setup, programming, and a full test to make sure everything is working.
See Opener Pricing →"Called Larry after coming home to a broken spring. He arrived the same evening, explained exactly what needed to be done, and had my garage door working again in less than an hour."
"My garage door would only open manually. Larry found the issue — the belt mechanism — gave me two options, and replaced the motor the same day. It's smooth and quiet now. Highly recommend."
"After accidentally backing into the garage door, it wouldn't open or close right. Larry figured out what he needed right away, gave us an estimate, and repaired the damaged panels the next day. Very fair pricing — you can't beat Larry's service."
Usually, yes. If you tell me what the door is doing, I can often narrow it down to a few likely causes and give you a rough idea of the cost before I come out. Some problems still need to be inspected in person, but I won't start any work until you know exactly what the repair is going to cost.
Just about all of them. Almost every door out there now is a sectional — steel, aluminum, wood, or carriage-style — and I work on all of those. The only exception is the older one-piece wood tilt-up-style doors, the type that swing out as a single slab. Unfortunately, for these types of doors, replacement parts aren't available anymore, so the only real option is to upgrade to a modern sectional. That also usually means a new opener, too and under current California regulations, any new opener has to include a battery backup so the door still works during a power outage. If you've got an older door and aren't sure what you have, give me a call, and I'll tell you your options.
I'm based in Concord and cover the surrounding East Bay — Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, Clayton, Martinez, and Pacheco, plus Lafayette and Rossmoor. If you're nearby and not sure, give me a call.
Tell me what's going on with your door and I'll let you know what it needs. Most service calls are scheduled the same day, and a lot of the time I can give you a price right over the phone.
