Many Berkeley homes were built between 1900 and the 1930s. In the flats, garages are often small detached buildings at the end of a narrow driveway. In the hills, the garage usually sits at street level below the house. Garage door repair in Berkeley often starts with doors that were added long after the house was built. Spring repair.
Many hill homes have a garage that doubles as the main entrance, with stairs up to the house. When that door stops working, getting in and out becomes a problem, so we carry common springs, cables and rollers to finish most repairs in one visit.
Detached garages in the flats often never had an opener. We can add a LiftMaster with a keypad and battery backup. In hillside garages with low ceilings, a wall-mount opener fits best. Opener installation.
Fog rolls in off the bay most evenings, and springs and cables rust faster as a result. A yearly tune-up with lubrication and a spring check keeps doors running and catches frayed cables early.
In rental properties and shared buildings, we can meet a tenant or property manager, send photos and give a written price first.
Older Berkeley openings are rarely standard sizes. We measure carefully and order a door that fits, in a style that suits a craftsman or Spanish-style home. See door options. Berkeley is part of our Alameda County service area.
