Serving ZIP 92626
College Park mixes 1950s tracts with no HOA and 1970s attached communities that have one, so the first question is which kind of address you have.
About Maintenance & Upgrades in College Park
College Park sits in northeast Costa Mesa between Fairview Road and Baker Street, near Orange Coast College. Postwar 1950s and 1960s tracts with no HOA sit beside 1970s attached communities that do have one, so the first question is which kind of address you have.
College Park is a Costa Mesa neighborhood in ZIP 92626, in the northeast of the city between Fairview Road and Baker Street with the 405 along the north. It takes its name from Orange Coast College at 2701 Fairview Road, which opened in 1947. Housing is postwar tract building from the 1950s and 1960s on flat streets with individual driveways and attached garages, mixed with 1970s association-governed attached homes built later on infill parcels.
Local Knowledge
Common Maintenance & Upgrades Issues in College Park
Small original openings
1950s and 1960s garages were built for smaller doors, so a current door can need a custom width or reframing.
Openers with no photo eyes
Original openers predate the 1993 federal entrapment protection requirement and have no safety sensors.
Double-door conversions
Two single doors on a two-car garage are often converted to one double door, which is structural work needing a permit.
Freeway grit on sensors and tracks
Homes near the 405 see road grit build up in bottom tracks and on photo-eye lenses.
Matching doors in attached communities
In the 1970s association communities, a replacement may need to match the rest of the building.

What Customers Say About Our Maintenance & Upgrades in College Park
Real reviews from College Park and nearby Costa Mesa neighborhoods.
“Our Eastside Costa Mesa door at 11:58: the photo-eye wire was cut by a trimmer, so the door reversed every close. Eastside Costa Mesa bungalows with chain-drive openers from the 80s. They spliced the photo-eye wire, remounted the eyes, and proved every close for this Eastside Costa Mesa door. Hardware stays clean.”
“In Halecrest at 13:20, Santa Ana dust packed the nylon races and the door squealed under the bedroom. Halecrest ranch houses and their post-war single-car doors. They packed new nylon rollers, cleaned the races, and the squeal under the bedroom stopped at 13:20 in Halecrest. Backup proved out.”
“Urgent Garage Doors repaired my garage door yesterday. The technician, Steve, was highly skilled and professional and repaired my damaged door to my highest satisfaction. It was the best service I can recall from any service provider. They responded to my call promptly, provided an estimate on the phone, came to my house within an hour, repaired a badly damaged and stuck door, did not put any add on to the estimate, and completed job perfectly. Price was very fair. I was like walking on clouds with my garage door working again. I appreciate having people like Steve helping our community.”
Maintenance & Upgrades in College Park - FAQs
It depends on your address. The detached tract homes typically have no association, so the city permit is the only approval. The 1970s attached communities do have associations, where the CC&Rs decide who owns the door and whether a replacement must match the others.
Often, yes, but it is structural work. Widening the opening changes the header, spring sizing and opener capacity, so it needs a permit and costs more than a like-for-like replacement. We explain that when we quote.
Typical Orange County ranges are torsion spring replacement $150 to $300, opener installation $250 to $600, sectional garage door replacement $800 to $2,500 and insulated steel garage door $900 to $2,500. A written price is available before work begins.
Costa Mesa's local list of work exempt from permits does not include garage doors, so check with the Building Division at 714-754-5273 or buildingpermit@costamesaca.gov. The city's Insta-Permit program covers some simple projects with a limited scope and is worth checking first. Widening an opening or altering the header is structural work and goes through a fuller review.
We take calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a 30 to 60 minute response, and common spring sizes are carried on the truck, so a broken spring is often replaced in the same visit. Call (949) 529-7743.
