Spring & Cable Repair in Golden Hills - FAQs
A carriage-house style sectional door usually suits period architecture far better than a raised-panel steel door. They are heavier than they look, so springs are sized to the actual door. Carriage-house garage doors typically run $1,200 to $4,500 in Orange County.
Wood doors gain and lose weight with moisture over the years, putting them out of balance against springs sized for their original weight, so the opener ends up doing the lifting. We check balance before replacing an opener. Door balancing and tension adjustment typically runs $75 to $150 in Orange County.
Yes. A tilt-up swings out as it lifts, so replacing it with a sectional door changes the track, springs and opener. Sectional garage door replacement typically runs $800 to $2,500 in Orange County.
Fullerton has its own building department, and whether a door or opener replacement needs a permit is confirmed for your address with the City of Fullerton. Widening an opening or altering a header is structural work that needs a permit.
