Mid-1980s houses between two master-planned areas
According to the Census Bureau's 2024 five-year American Community Survey, Irving has about 102,500 housing units, and the median year built is 1986. Only about 39 percent of the units are single-family detached houses and about 48 percent are in buildings of five or more units, so we see apartment garages as well as house doors. About 38 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied, and the median home value is about $315,600.
Wikipedia describes Las Colinas as a mixed-use planned community of more than 12,000 acres and Valley Ranch as a master-planned area. We could not confirm which of the streets inside them have homeowner associations or what those associations require, so check yours before you change a door's style or color. Older neighborhoods sit in the eastern part of the city, according to Wikipedia.
Tell us your cross street and whether the door is a single, a double or a pair, and we book the soonest visit. We weigh and balance each door before choosing new springs.

What customers say
Real reviews from our Google listing, copied as the customers wrote them.
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
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

What Irving weather does to a garage door
The nearest official weather station is at DFW Airport, about 8 miles from the center of Irving. Wikipedia's Dallas climate table gives July and August an average high of 96 degrees and January an average low of 37, with about 39 inches of precipitation a year. Long hot summers wear springs, cables and rubber seals, and a hard freeze stiffens the lubricant on rollers and hinges.
The National Weather Service rated a brief tornado in Irving on March 4, 2025 as an EF-1 with peak winds near 110 mph, and a local radio report said it damaged brick siding and windows. The October 20, 2019 EF3 tornado started in Las Colinas, according to the National Weather Service. A third-party storm-report site lists six hail reports within 10 miles of Irving in 2025, the largest 2 inches, which is indicative only. Oncor reported about 150,000 North Texas customers still without power on February 18, 2021, so know where your red manual-release cord is.
Twice a year, wipe the tracks, lubricate the rollers and hinges, and test the safety reverse. After a storm, look for dented panels and bent track sections before you run the opener.
- Look for dented panels after hail
- Lubricate rollers and hinges twice a year

Opener safety, permits and design rules in Irving
Opener safety. Federal rules (the Consumer Product Safety Commission's standard for automatic residential garage door operators, 16 CFR part 1211) require openers made for homes to reverse the door when it meets an obstruction and to have a separate entrapment protection device, which on most openers is the pair of photo-eye sensors near the floor. If your opener ignores the sensors or does not reverse, stop using it and call us. See opener installation.
HOAs and style rules. If you live in a planned community or a historic district, check style and color rules before you choose a new door. See new garage doors for styles.
City permits. Irving is its own city, so permit rules come from the City of Irving. The Inspections Department's phone is (972) 721-2371 on weekdays, and the city site is irvingtx.gov. The city's permit pages, as summarized in search results, say a permit is needed to erect, alter, move or repair a structure, and that a homeowner doing the work needs a homestead exemption on file with Dallas Central Appraisal District before applying for a residential permit. We found no city page that says whether a garage door replacement or a new opener needs a permit, so we could not confirm a garage-door-specific rule. Ask Irving Inspections before the work.
Texas rules. We found no Texas statewide license for garage door contractors. A Texas Department of Public Safety page dated 2020 says installing door or gate operators needs no DPS license unless the operator is connected to an alarm system or can log who comes and goes.

Irving garage door repair: questions we hear
Is there garage door repair near me in Irving?
Yes. Emil Garage Doors repairs garage doors in Irving (ZIP 75039) and the neighborhoods next door. Call (214) 382-3772, 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 Irving?
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 Irving?
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 codes do you serve in Irving?
Irving's street ZIP codes are 75038, 75039, 75060, 75061, 75062 and 75063. The 75014 to 75017 codes are PO boxes only. Call us if you are not sure we reach your address.
Do you service garage doors in Las Colinas and Valley Ranch?
Yes. Las Colinas and Valley Ranch are master-planned areas on the east and north sides of Irving. If your street has an association, check its rules on door style and color before you choose a new door, and tell us when you call so we can plan the visit.
Do you repair garage doors after a storm in Irving?
Yes. Hail can dent steel panels, and strong wind can bend tracks or push a door out of its frame. We inspect the track, panels, springs and opener, explain what we find and quote the price before we start.
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.
