Detached houses, city two- and three-families and apartment buildings
According to the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 American Community Survey, Beverly has about 17,600 housing units and the median home was built in 1956. About 51 percent are detached single-family houses, about 6 percent are two-family houses, about 13 percent are in three- or four-unit buildings and about 27 percent are in buildings of five or more units. About 60 percent of households own their home. Doors and springs from the 1950s are often on a second set, and shared doors on multi-unit buildings take heavy daily use, so we ask who owns the door before we book.
Wikipedia says Beverly was settled in 1626 under Roger Conant, incorporated as a town in 1668 and made a city in 1894. It names the neighborhoods and villages of Beverly Farms, Prides Crossing, North Beverly, Ryal Side, Centerville, Cove and Montserrat, and landmarks including Lynch Park, Beverly Common and the Larcom Theatre. We could not confirm whether any local historic review covers garage doors, so ask the city before you change a door on an older street.
Tell us your cross street and whether the garage is attached, detached or under a multi-family building, and we book the soonest visit. We weigh and balance each door before choosing new springs.

- Shared doors on multi-unit buildings

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
I was really happy with the work Emil did for me. He was a responsive communicator, arrived on time, and did a quality job on the repair I needed. I would hire him again without hesitation.Serenity · Google review

What Beverly weather does to a garage door
Wikipedia gives Beverly an average of about 48 inches of precipitation and about 51 inches of snow a year, with a record low of minus 13 degrees on February 4, 2023, and says a sea breeze often keeps the south part of the city cooler. Cold stiffens springs, cables and weatherstripping, road salt corrodes tracks and bottom seals, and salt air near the coast speeds rust.
CBS Boston reported that on Sunday, July 20, 2025 a strong thunderstorm brought down large trees in Beverly, one crushing a car in a driveway, with fallen trees blocking several roads and a little more than 250 local customers without power late that night. Wind can bend a track or push a light door out of its frame, and in an outage the opener will not run, so know where the red manual release cord is.
Before winter, wipe the tracks, lubricate the rollers and hinges, and test the safety reverse. After a storm, look for a bent track or a dented panel before you run the opener.
- Know where the manual release is
- Check tracks and panels after a storm
- Clear ice from the bottom seal

Opener safety, permits and design rules in Beverly
Safety reverse and sensors. A home garage door opener sold in the United States has to reverse the door on contact and have photo-eye sensors or an equivalent entrapment protection device, under the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission standard (16 CFR part 1211). A door that closes on an object, or an opener with dead sensors, needs repair before further use. See opener installation.
Associations. Check any HOA or historic district rules before you order a new door, and see new garage doors for style options.
City permits. Beverly is a city with its own Online Permit Center, which the city says handles building, electrical, gas, plumbing and mechanical permits. City Hall is at 191 Cabot Street (978-921-6000), and the city says operations are temporarily at 175 Cabot Street while Historic City Hall is renovated. The permits page does not mention garage doors or openers, so we could not confirm whether a replacement or an opener swap needs a permit. Ask the city before the work at beverlyma.gov.
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 bars contractors from working without a registration certificate. The state building code lists work that needs no building permit but does not mention garage doors, so the city's answer is the one that counts. Wikipedia's Beverly article does not mention a local historic district, and we could not confirm whether any review applies to garage doors.

Beverly garage door repair: questions we hear
Is there garage door repair near me in Beverly?
Yes. Emil Garage Doors repairs garage doors in Beverly (ZIP 01915) 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 Beverly?
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 Beverly?
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 Beverly?
Beverly's street ZIP code is 01915, which also covers Beverly Farms. Call us if you are not sure we reach your address.
Does Beverly require a permit to replace a garage door?
We could not confirm it. The city's permits page does not mention garage doors, so ask City Hall at 978-921-6000 or use the Online Permit Center before a replacement, and tell us when you call so we can plan the visit.
Do you repair garage doors on two- and three-family houses in Beverly?
Yes. About one in five Beverly homes is in a two- to four-unit building, and doors there are often shared or older. Tell us who owns the door and where the garage is, and we book a visit.
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.
