The pattern on Mission Street-era homes is consistent: garages built long before standard door dimensions, hung with doors that have been modified, re-hinged, and repainted for decades. The failure points are predictable — extension springs far past their cycle rating (and often missing the safety cables that contain a snapped spring), sagging wood panels pulling hinges out of soft old framing, and tracks that have drifted out of alignment as the structure itself settled. None of that is exotic to us; it is Tuesday. Reinforcement metal for a sagging panel starts at $125, hinges at $45, track work at $145, and where the framing needs sistering before hardware will hold, we say so plainly before quoting.
Because openings here are rarely standard-sized, spring sizing matters more than usual — and the van carries every spring size, so an odd door on a 1910s garage gets a correctly matched, correctly wound spring on the first visit. Spring replacement starts at $65, and the service call and estimate are free with the exact price fixed before work starts.
We come out from West Hollywood via the 110, quoting arrival windows honestly against the traffic between us. Same-day scheduling runs 6 AM to 11 PM every day, with 24/7 emergency response when a door fails at a bad hour.
If your old garage door deserves a mechanic rather than a salesman, call (310) 988-1325.
