Fremont is a big city, and its garage doors are just as mixed. Niles has some of the oldest homes in town, and much of Centerville and Irvington was built in the ’60s and ’70s, so we still see plenty of original tracks and springs that have been adjusted more times than anyone remembers. Up in Mission San Jose and the hills, larger and heavier doors are common. The newer homes around Warm Springs and Ardenwood usually have insulated steel doors and newer openers.
We work on all of it. Olive Garage Doors is based in Newark, a few minutes from most Fremont neighborhoods, so when a spring snaps early in the morning and your car is stuck inside, we can usually be there the same day.
You get the price before any work starts. And if a repair makes more sense than a new door, we’ll tell you.

If your door won’t open or close at all, our troubleshooting guide walks through the common causes.
That’s almost always a broken torsion spring. Stop pressing the opener: without the spring, the motor is trying to lift the full weight of the door and can burn out. On doors with two springs we usually recommend replacing both, because the second one is the same age and rarely lasts much longer. More on garage door spring repair.
Leave it closed and unplug the opener. A door that’s off track can fall. We reset or replace bent track, swap worn rollers and check the cables while we’re there. See off-track door repair.
Often it’s the safety sensors near the floor knocked out of line, which is a quick fix. If the opener itself is worn out, we install a new one. In California, new openers have to include a battery backup (state law since 2019), so a power outage won’t trap your car. See opener installation.
Cables and springs hold a lot of tension, and they’re the parts of a garage door that injure people. If you see frayed strands or a cable hanging loose, call us instead of trying to fix it yourself. See cable repair.
Grinding and squeaking usually comes from worn rollers or dry hinges. New nylon rollers and a proper tune-up quiet down most doors. See roller replacement and maintenance.

Standard torsion springs are rated for about 10,000 open-and-close cycles. For a household that uses the door four or five times a day, that works out to roughly five to seven years.
If your door has two springs, replacing both is usually the better deal. They’ve done the same number of cycles, so the other one tends to break soon after.
It’s not a good idea. The spring does the lifting, not you and not the opener. A two-car door can weigh well over 100 pounds, and without a working spring it can drop fast. Leave it closed and give us a call.
