A stadium town with older centers and newer neighborhoods
According to the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 American Community Survey, Foxborough has about 7,400 housing units and about 7,100 households, and the median owner-occupied home is worth about $606,000. A Census-based summary for ZIP 02035 puts the owner-occupied rate near 73 percent. We could not verify the median year built for the whole town, so we check the age of the parts on each door before quoting.
Wikipedia says Foxborough was settled in 1704 and incorporated in 1778, and that its center once held the world's largest straw hat factory, built in 1886 and lost to fire in 1936. Gillette Stadium opened in 2002 and Patriot Place followed in 2009, and F. Gilbert Hills State Forest is shared with Wrentham. The town has a local historic district centered on Baker Street, so ask before you change a door there.
Tell us your street and what the door does, and we book the soonest visit. We weigh and balance each door before choosing new springs.
- Original openers and springs on older houses
- Newer builds with wide two- and three-car doors
- Doors near the town center: ask first if you are near Baker Street

What Foxborough weather does to a garage door
Foxborough has no weather station of its own that we could verify, so these are regional figures. Wikipedia lists a July mean high near 83 degrees and low near 62, a January mean high near 36 and low near 18, a record low of minus 19, about 49 inches of precipitation and about 53 inches of snow a year. Cold stiffens springs, cables and weatherstripping.
According to local news reports, wind storms and nor'easters have left large parts of Foxborough without power, and high wind can push on a wide door. Snow and ice build up on the bottom seal, and road salt eats at tracks and hinges. If the power fails the opener cannot lift the door, so find the manual release before the storm.
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.
- Lubricate rollers and hinges before winter
- Check wide doors for loose hinges before wind season
- Know where the manual release is

Doesn't get any better than this guy! I have recently purchased a condo with a broken garage door opener. It was missing some brackets. I called them, and Emil came out promptly the next morning. On time! He was able to run back to his shop and get the bracket I needed. It took him less than an hour to complete the entire project! My garage door works great now. I said a little thank you to Emil as I opened my garage door late last night and drove in my garage. I would definitely call him again if I needed anything done with my garage door. Highly recommend, plus he's just a super nice guy, which the process so much easier. Thanks Emil!Winston · Google review

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

Opener safety, permits and design rules in Foxborough
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.
Town permits. Foxborough's Building Department is at Town Hall, 40 South Street, phone 508-543-1206, and the town runs an online permitting portal. The page we read does not mention doors or garage doors. We could not confirm whether a garage door replacement or an opener swap needs a permit, so call before the work or visit foxboroughma.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 it does not mention garage doors, so the answer from the town is the one that counts. Foxborough also has a local historic district around Baker Street, and its commission says a certificate of appropriateness is needed before exterior changes there even without a building permit; we could not confirm whether that covers a garage door, so ask the commission first.

Foxborough garage door repair: questions we hear
Is there garage door repair near me in Foxborough?

What is the average price to repair a garage door in Foxborough?
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 Foxborough?
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 Foxborough?
Foxborough has one street ZIP code, 02035. Call us if you are not sure we reach your address.
Does Foxborough require a permit to replace a garage door?
Foxborough's Building Department page does not mention garage doors, so we could not confirm a rule. Call the department at 508-543-1206 before a replacement, and tell us when you call so we can plan the visit.
Do I need approval to change a garage door near Baker Street in Foxborough?
Foxborough has a local historic district around Baker Street, and its commission says exterior changes there need a certificate of appropriateness. We could not confirm whether a garage door counts, so ask the commission before the work.
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.
