Detached houses, two-families and apartment buildings in a jewelry city
According to the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 American Community Survey, Attleboro has about 19,100 housing units and the median home was built in 1972. About 54 percent are detached single-family houses, about 8 percent are two-family houses, about 12 percent are three- or four-unit buildings and about 15 percent are in buildings of five or more units. About 66 percent of households own their home. Doors on two- and three-family houses often carry more use than a single-family door, so springs wear sooner.
Wikipedia calls Attleboro the Jewelry Capital of the World and says it was settled in 1634, incorporated as a town in 1694 and reincorporated as a city in 1914. It names villages and neighborhoods that include Briggs Corner, Dodgeville, Hebronville, South Attleboro and Oak Hill. We found no local historic district, so ask the city if your house is unusual or old.
Tell us your cross street and whether the garage is attached, detached or under a two-family, and we book the soonest visit. We weigh and balance each door before choosing new springs.
- Doors on two- and three-family houses
- Original springs and openers on 1970s homes
- Narrow openings on older side streets

What Attleboro weather does to a garage door
We found no weather-station table for the town itself, so these are regional figures from Wikipedia's table for nearby Taunton, which uses 1991-2020 normals: a July mean daily high near 84 degrees, a January mean daily low near 20, about 49 inches of precipitation and about 26 inches of snow a year. Cold stiffens springs, cables and weatherstripping, and road salt corrodes tracks and hardware.
On the evening of August 4, 2019 a storm brought a flash flood warning to Attleboro. CBS Boston quoted Mayor Paul Heroux saying about six homes were damaged by downed trees, with Orange and Maple Streets hit especially hard. If water reaches garage level, keep the opener switched off until the door, motor and wiring are dry and checked.
Before winter, wipe the tracks, lubricate the rollers and hinges, and test the safety reverse. After a snowfall, clear the ice from the bottom of the door before you run the opener.
- Do not run the opener after a flood
- Know where the manual release is
- Clear ice from the bottom seal

Called the office to let them know my issues and asked if we could get someone out to look at my door. Was told between 11-12...drove home from work at 11:05 and Emil was waiting and ready to get to work. Not knowing anything about how to fix a garage door, Emil did a great job explaining why I was having issues. Quoted a reasonable price (well at least what I thought was reasonable) and less than 40 minute later he had fixed the problem. Great customer service from intake of the call to fixing my door! If you need a garage door repair...support local business and give them your business, you won't be disappointed.Guadalupe · Google review
My garage door and opener were pretty banged up and not working properly. Emil Garage Doors came out, did a thorough evaluation of door and all it's parts. Even though the previous home owner rigged up the garage door opener with the wrong springs and parts, Emil repaired the door and saved us money by using some of the old parts. That kind of honesty will get 5 stars all day long. Thank you Emil Garage Doors for your great service.Bradford · Google review
I woke up to a loud crash when a tree in my front yard fell over and hit my garage door. Emil Garage Doors was able to give be a really good price on a new garage door. They uninstalled the old, damaged door and realigned the tracks the garage door connects to which had been damaged as well. The new door looks great and most importantly functions well. Thank you for going above and beyond in my time of need!Stuart · Google review
They were able to come within a few hours of my call. Another company could only give me a 4 hour window of arrival time the next day, but these guys was able to give me a 2 hour window the same day. One the guys called before arriving. He was friendly and competent in explaining the problem and our options. I was so grateful he had replacement springs and was able to fix our garage door in less than an hour.David · Google review
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

Opener safety. The federal standard for residential garage door operators (Consumer Product Safety Commission, 16 CFR part 1211) calls for automatic reversing and entrapment protection such as photo-eye sensors. If yours stopped working, we test the reverse and the sensors and repair or replace what failed. See opener installation.
Design rules. Planned communities and historic districts can limit door style and color. Ask before you choose a new door: new garage doors.
City permits. Attleboro is a city with its own Building Inspection Department. We could not read the department's own page, so call City Hall at 508-223-2222 (77 Park Street) and ask for it. We could not confirm whether a garage door replacement or an opener swap needs a permit, so ask the department before the work, and check the city's site at cityofattleboro.us.
State rules. Massachusetts General Laws chapter 142A covers residential contracting (repair, alteration, renovation and improvement) on existing owner-occupied buildings of one to four units and refers to contractors registered under that chapter. The state building code lists work that needs no building permit and says ordinary repairs need no application, but it does not mention garage doors, so the city's answer is the one that counts.

Attleboro garage door repair: questions we hear
Is there garage door repair near me in Attleboro?
Yes. Emil Garage Doors repairs garage doors in Attleboro (ZIP 02703) and the neighborhoods next door. Call (617) 644-5527, 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 Attleboro?
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 Attleboro?
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 Attleboro?
Attleboro's street ZIP code is 02703. Some directories list 02760 and 02763 under the Attleboro name, but those belong to North Attleborough. Call us if you are not sure we reach your address.
Does Attleboro require a permit to replace a garage door?
We could not confirm it. We could not read the Building Inspection Department's page, so call City Hall at 508-223-2222 and ask for the department before a replacement, and tell us when you call so we can plan the visit.
Do you work on garage doors at two-family and three-family houses in Attleboro?
Yes. Many Attleboro houses have two or three units, and the doors take more use, so springs and rollers tire sooner. Tell us how many doors there are and whether they share a driveway when you call.
Can a handyman fix a garage door?
A handyman can handle a sensor or a roller. Springs and cables are under high tension and need a trained technician, so we do not recommend fixing them yourself.
How do I test my garage door's safety reverse and sensors?
Close the door with the opener, then lay a 2x4 flat on the floor in the door's path. The door should touch it and reverse. For the sensors, start the door closing and pass a broom handle through the beam near the floor. The door should stop and go back up. If either test fails, stop using the automatic close and call us for a repair.
