Why San Rafael homes need new installation done right

Two very different briefs here. For Terra Linda and the mid-century streets, the priority is a flat or lightly grooved face that keeps the horizontal line, in a material that stays flat across a wide span. For the low-lying neighbourhoods near the marsh, the priority is corrosion: galvanised hardware, a well-finished bottom edge and a seal specified for standing damp, because that is where a door here begins to fail.

A new garage door is one of the highest-return home upgrades there is, and it's often the largest single element of your home's street-facing façade. We help you choose the right material, insulation R-value and style for your home and climate, then handle a clean, precise installation — old door haul-away, new tracks and springs sized to the door, and a tuned opener.

New Installation in San Rafael — FAQs

What door suits an Eichler?

A flat or lightly grooved face, in a material that stays flat across a wide opening, with hardware sized for the width. The mistake to avoid is a raised-panel colonial door, which fights the horizontal line the whole house is built on.

Does it matter which hardware goes on a door near the water?

It matters more than the door. Galvanised or coated springs, cables, rollers and brackets are the difference between a door that lasts and one that starts failing from the bottom up within a few seasons.

How long does a new garage door installation take?

A standard single or double door is typically installed in a few hours. Custom, oversized, or full-view glass doors can take longer, and we'll give you a firm timeline with your estimate.

Should I get an insulated door?

If the garage is attached, has living space above or beside it, or you use it as a workshop or gym, an insulated door pays back in comfort and energy — and it's noticeably quieter. In our variable Bay Area climate it's usually worth it.

What does a new garage door cost?

It depends on size, material, insulation and style, so we give a free, itemized design estimate rather than a misleading number online. There's never a charge for the consultation.

Do you remove and dispose of my old door?

Yes. Old-door removal and haul-away is included with every installation, and we leave the driveway clean.
