What customers say
Real reviews from our Google listing, copied as the customers wrote them.
Not paying attention I closed the garage door on a pipe laying in the track. Needless to say it did some damage even though the automatic reverse opened the door back up. Emailed what happened on Sunday evening. Appointment with quote provided in just a few minutes and appointment confirmed. Once again they arrived on time. Completed repairs quickly and for less then the quote. Cleaned up like they were never there. I highly recommend them and will continue to use them for my garage door repairs.Carroll · Google review
Technician showed up on time, assessed our issue & presented replacement options. He proceeded to install new equipment during the same visit and everything was finished in less than two hours. We were impressed with the performance of our tech. It’s easy for us to recommend this company.Kathleen · Google review
The replacement of my broken spring was done quickly and professionaly. I was also provided an explanation on why the tension was set as it was. I was called in advance to be informed of the arrival time. Great job as it has been in the pastFrancine · Google review
My garage door spring broke the other evening and I was unable to open my door. I contacted them first thing the next day. They were able to give me an appointment for later in that day. The service technician called prior to arrival as promised & arrived shortly afterwards. He recommended some additional service to the door in addition to the springs which I accepted. The door was repaired in less than 2 hours & now works better than ever. Thank youBrandi · Google review
Great to work with, gave us good advise and very knowledgeable with garage door springs . We could not find anyone to do our repair ASAP as it was a small project, but that did not matter to them. They traveled 2 hours to get the work done. Tech who did our repair was very personable, fast and did an excellent job.Theresa · Google review

A flat valley city of houses built around 1989
According to the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 estimates, the median home in Delano was built in 1989. About 74 percent of homes are single-family detached houses, about 9 percent sit in buildings with five or more units and about 4 percent are mobile homes. Roughly 63 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied, and the Census reports a median owner-occupied home value of about $301,900. A door from the late 1980s has often been through its first set of springs, rollers and opener.
Wikipedia describes Delano as a city in northern Kern County, about 30 miles from Bakersfield, that began as a railroad town and is named for Columbus Delano. State Route 99 runs through it. Memorial Park hosts events such as Cinco de Mayo and Harvest Holidays. We found no named homeowners association or gated community in the sources, so we do not claim one.
The city is flat, so your call can come from anywhere between the Albany Street side and the east end of Cecil Avenue. Tell us your cross street and whether the door is a single, a pair or a wide two-car, and we book the soonest visit. We weigh and balance each door before choosing springs.

What your garage door is telling you in Delano
A starting point. We confirm the cause on site.
| The door does this | Common cause | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| The door is heavy and will not stay up | A spring has lost tension or broken | Replace the springs as a set and rebalance the door |
| The door jumped off its track | A bent track or a broken roller | Straighten or replace the track, replace rollers, reset the door |
| The opener runs but nothing moves | A stripped gear, broken spring or a disconnected door | Test the opener, repair or replace the failed part |
| The door closes crooked | A stretched or slipped cable | Replace the cable and level the door |
| The remote works only close to the door | A weak battery, receiver or antenna | Replace the battery and test the receiver |
Do not run a door that is crooked or heavy.
What Delano weather does to a garage door
NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for the Delano station, as Wikipedia cites them, put the average daily high at 97.3 degrees in July and 56.0 in January, with July rainfall near 0.04 inch. Wikipedia gives annual rainfall of about 7.5 inches, mostly in winter, and notes that tule fog is common in winter. Wikipedia's page disagrees with itself on the record high and low, so we do not quote either. We would only say that summers reach triple digits.
We found no verified Delano wind, dust, wildfire or earthquake event, and the 1952 Kern County earthquake article does not mention the city. A 2019 PG&E shutoff list in search results named Arvin and Bakersfield but not Delano. As general advice, not a Delano statistic, long summer heat dries out lubricant and rubber seals, and a power outage leaves an opener dead until its battery backup or the manual release is used.
Before summer, wipe the tracks, oil the rollers and hinges and check the bottom seal for cracks. Press the test button on the battery backup, and learn where the red emergency release cord is.
- Oil rollers and hinges before summer
- Check the bottom seal for cracks
- Test the battery backup twice a year

Battery backup, permits and design rules in Delano
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.
HOAs and style rules. If you live in a planned community or a historic overlay, check style and color rules before you choose a new door. See new garage doors for styles.
City permits. Delano is its own city, so its rules come from the City of Delano. City Hall is at 1015 11th Avenue and the main number on the city site is (661) 721-3303. The city site links a permit portal, and a third-party guide says building permits go through the Building Division of Community Development and that Kern County Fire Department reviews fire and life-safety items. A directory lists (661) 721-3340 for the building department, but we could not confirm it on the city site, so verify it. We could not confirm whether a garage door or opener replacement needs a permit, so ask the Delano Building Division before the work at cityofdelano.org.
Fire and historic rules. Delano sits on the flat valley floor and we found no hillside rule, no Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone item and no historic-district rule that touches a garage door. We could not verify any of these, so if your property is unusual, ask the city.

Delano garage door repair: questions we hear
Is there garage door repair near me in Delano?
Yes. Emil Garage Doors repairs garage doors in Delano (ZIP 93215) and the neighborhoods next door. Call (213) 340-4232, tell us your street or neighborhood and what the door does, and we book the soonest visit. See garage door repair near me.
What is the average price to repair a garage door in Delano?
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.
What is the most common garage door repair in Delano?
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.
How much is a service call for a garage door?
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.
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.
Which ZIP code do you serve in Delano?
Delano homes use ZIP code 93215, and 93216 is for PO boxes only. ZIP 93215 reaches past the city limits, so call us if you are not sure we cover your address. We also serve nearby McFarland, Wasco, Shafter and Bakersfield.
Does a garage door replacement in Delano need a permit?
We could not confirm a garage-door-specific permit rule for Delano. Ask the City of Delano Building Division whether your door or opener job needs one. A directory lists (661) 721-3340 for the department, but confirm that number with the city first.
Do I need to do anything to my garage door before a Delano summer?
Wipe the tracks, oil the rollers and hinges and look at the bottom seal. Delano summers reach triple digits, and heat dries out lubricant and rubber, so a door that was quiet in winter can start to bind. If a spring looks stretched or a cable is frayed, stop using the door and call us.
Can a handyman fix a garage door?
A handyman can often handle a simple job such as a sensor or a roller. Springs and cables are under high tension and need a trained technician, so call us for those.
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.
Do you also repair gates in Delano?
Yes. See gate repair and electric gate repair.
