What customers say
Real reviews from our Google listing, copied as the customers wrote them.
It went very well, with the job being completed in three days. We waited few months for the supply chain to kick in ( Covid related delays ) and finally deliver the products. It was so worth the wait. Great installers, Emil and his team are professional and friendly, too, and patient in answering questions.Rachel · Google review

Great company to use for garage door work. Came out promptly, over a weekend when I could not get others to respond. Efficient work, very knowledgeable, very friendly. I would not hesitate to contact them first the next time I need service.Courtney · Google review
Incredible honest work. Emil took care of all the repairs needed in order for my garage door to work again. I know I need a new garage door but I can't afford it right now this company was nice enough to fix it instead of hounding me for more money to get a new door. Emil was so nice that he even provided me a price. I was so happy he said I could call him when I had the money and he would honor me the price. amazing company to reach out to.Jasmine · Google review

Mid-century ranches and estate lots
Arcadia had 56,681 people and 20,511 housing units at the 2020 census, and about 59 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied. The city was shaped by Elias "Lucky" Baldwin's Rancho Santa Anita, and Arcadia incorporated in 1903.
Housing guides describe 1950s and 1960s ranch-style homes in Arcadia Highlands and Highland Oaks, and larger custom and estate-style homes in Upper Rancho and Santa Anita Oaks. Older ranch homes often still have their original doors, springs and openers, and new two-story homes bring wider doors and heavier materials.
We service both: we replace worn original parts on older doors and size springs correctly for the heavier doors on new homes.
- Original openers and tracks on mid-century homes
- Spring sizes matched to wide custom doors
- Replacement doors that suit the street
What Arcadia conditions do to a garage door
Arcadia sits at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. Modeled climate data puts the hot season from late June to late September, with August the hottest at an average high near 89 degrees, and the rainy season from late October to late April. Heat dries out lubricants and ages finishes, and winter storms push moisture into tracks and seals.
Santa Ana winds hit the foothills hard. The City of Arcadia's own February 2025 newsletter describes the Eaton Fire sweeping the foothills in the January 2025 windstorm. Wind, dust and ash settle in tracks and on sensors, and fire weather brings power cuts, so a battery backup that works matters.
Twice a year, clean the tracks, lubricate the rollers and hinges, test the safety reverse and test the battery backup.
- Lubricate rollers and hinges before summer
- Clean tracks and sensors after wind and ash
- Test the battery backup twice a year

Battery backup, permits and HOAs in Arcadia
Battery backup. California Health and Safety Code section 19892 says residential garage door openers sold or installed in the state need a battery backup, and a replacement garage door cannot be connected to an older residential opener that lacks one. See opener installation.
Permits. The City of Arcadia's Building Services FAQ says electrical work generally needs its own permit, and it lists fence permit rules, but it does not name garage doors. Call the city at (626) 574-5400 or check arcadiaca.gov before a replacement.
HOAs and design review. Some neighborhoods have homeowner associations and architectural review boards that review exterior changes. Check the rules before you choose a new door. See new garage doors for styles.

Arcadia garage door repair: questions we hear
Is there garage door repair near me in Arcadia?
Yes. Emil Garage Doors repairs garage doors across Arcadia, ZIP codes 91006 and 91007, and the cities next door. Call (213) 340-4232, tell us your neighborhood and what the door does, and we book the soonest visit. See also garage door repair near me.
How much does garage door repair cost in Arcadia?
Typical prices: a 12-point safety inspection is $89, a torsion spring pair for a standard two-car door is $250 to $450 (heavy-duty springs $350 to $900), a cable pair is $175 to $350, and a belt-drive opener installed with battery backup is $550 to $900. The final price is confirmed after we see the door.
How much is a service call for a garage door in Arcadia?
Our 12-point safety inspection is $89. It covers the springs, cables, rollers, tracks, sensors and opener, and we explain what we find before any repair starts.
What is the most common garage door repair in Arcadia?
Broken torsion springs are among the most common garage door repairs, because springs wear out after a set number of open-and-close cycles. Cables, rollers, safety sensors and off-track doors follow. See garage door spring repair.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a garage door?
A repair is usually cheaper when the door itself is sound and only a spring, cable, roller or sensor failed. Replacement makes sense when panels are bent or rotted, the door is very old or the opening needs a different size. We tell you which one fits before we start.
Do you offer mobile residential garage door repair in Arcadia?
Yes. We come to your home in Arcadia with the common parts, such as springs, cables and rollers, so many repairs are finished in one visit. See the opener and door options on this page.
How much does garage door repair cost in Arcadia?
It depends on what failed, the size and weight of the door and the parts. A sensor adjustment costs far less than a spring set or a new opener. We quote after we see the door and before we start.
Do I need a permit to replace a garage door in Arcadia?
The City of Arcadia's Building Services FAQ lists permit rules for fences and electrical work but does not name garage doors. Call the city at (626) 574-5400 or check arcadiaca.gov before a replacement, and note that wiring work for a new opener can need its own electrical permit.
Does my HOA need to approve a new garage door?
Some Arcadia neighborhoods have homeowner associations and architectural review boards that review exterior changes. Check the rules before you choose a new door style or color.
Does California require a battery backup on a garage door opener?
Yes. California Health and Safety Code section 19892 says residential openers sold or installed in the state need a battery backup, and a replacement garage door cannot be connected to an older residential opener that lacks one.
My garage door is heavy and will not stay up. What is wrong?
That usually means a spring has broken or lost tension. Do not keep running the opener. See garage door spring repair and call us before the door is used again.
What areas around Arcadia do you serve?
Arcadia is bordered by Sierra Madre, Pasadena, Monrovia, Temple City and El Monte. We serve those cities too, plus the rest of the San Gabriel Valley and Los Angeles County.
