Real reviews from Serrano Highlands and nearby Lake Forest neighborhoods.
“Our Baker Ranch door at 11:38: frayed aircraft cable slipped the drum, so door hung crooked. Baker Ranch newer homes still on the first set of rollers. They reeved new lift cables, seated them on the drums, and checked the safety loops for this Baker Ranch door. Number is on the fridge.”
“I had a major issue with my garage door! The springs were broken, and the opener stopped working, so I couldnt get my car out. I called Urgent Garage Doors and they showed up fast and ready to help. Steve quickly replaced the broken springs and even fixed the opener on the spot. He explained everything clearly and made sure the door was running smoothly before leaving. Excellent service, fast response, and very professional. I highly recommend them!”
“Highly highly recommend this company! David the technician showed up an hour earlier the projected time! I had an issue with broken springs and he was very knowledgeable and helpful with giving me information of what needs to be replaced and doesnt force anything that I dont need. He was very friendly and very efficient with his work and was able to do in leas than an hour! You can just tell he knows what hes doing. I reached out to other companies and it was either they didnt have an availability or they required me to take photos and required more information. When i reached out to Davis and his company it was simple! They just asked what was broken and they will tell you when their next availability is. Im very happy with this company, service and their work! FYI: i called Saturday morning and he came out within an hour!”

Yes. Serrano Highlands tracts are association-governed, and Lake Forest states that association approval is needed before work starts, separately from any permit.
Lake Forest's published permit exemptions do not include garage doors, so check with the Building Division at 949-461-3470. The city also states that homeowners association requirements still apply and their approval is needed before work starts, so you may need both.
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.
