Larger Lake Travis homes with a median build year of 2004
According to the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 American Community Survey, Lakeway has about 8,600 housing units. About 78 percent are single-family detached houses, about 86 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied and the median home value is about $841,000. The median year built is 2004, so many original springs and openers are around 22 years old, and larger homes often have wide or double doors that put more load on the springs.
Lakeway grew out of a 2,700-acre ranch owned by Jack Josey, whose resort hotel opened in 1963, and the village incorporated in 1974. The Hills of Lakeway is a separate incorporated village beside it, and a listing shows a property owners' association fee at Flintrock Falls. We could not verify any association's door rules, so ask yours before you choose a new door style or color.
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.
- Original springs on wide and double doors
- Association approval for new door styles
- Openers on larger homes with several doors

What Lakeway weather does to a garage door
We found no Lakeway-only weather station, so we use Austin's official figures from Wikipedia: a July mean daily high of 96.6 degrees, a January mean low of 41.8 and about 36 inches of precipitation a year. Lakeway sits near 830 feet on the edge of the Hill Country, and hot summers and winter freezes stress springs, cables and seals.
Community Impact reports that Lakeway and Bee Cave are in the wildland-urban interface, that Lake Travis Fire Rescue serves Lakeway, and that the city offers free home ignition zone assessments; it was recognized as a Firewise USA community as of 2018. Ash and smoke can foul tracks and seals. A 2017 windstorm on Lake Travis blew out the garage doors of a restaurant, a one-off event, and Winter Storm Uri in 2021 brought rotating blackouts, so know where your manual release is.
Twice a year, wipe the tracks, lubricate the rollers and hinges, and test the safety reverse. After a windy day or a smoky week, check the seals and track before you run the opener.
- Wipe ash and dust from the tracks
- Know where the manual release is
- Lubricate rollers and hinges twice a year

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. 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. Lakeway is its own city, so its rules come from the City of Lakeway. Building and Development Services is at 1102 Lohmans Crossing Road, phone 512-314-7540, and applications and inspections go through the city's online self-service portal. The city says to call that office to find out whether a permit is needed. We could not confirm whether a garage door replacement or opener swap needs a permit, so ask Building and Development Services before the work at lakeway-tx.gov.
Texas rules. We found no Texas statewide license for garage door contractors. A Texas Department of Public Safety page (published September 2020) says installing a garage door opener needs no DPS license unless it is connected to an alarm system or monitors or logs who comes and goes.

Lakeway garage door repair: questions we hear
Is there garage door repair near me in Lakeway?
Yes. Emil Garage Doors repairs garage doors in Lakeway (ZIP 78734) 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 Lakeway?
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 Lakeway?
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 Lakeway?
Lakeway has no ZIP code of its own. Its homes are in ZIP 78734 and ZIP 78738, which are labeled Austin by the Post Office, so write Lakeway, TX in your address. Call us if you are not sure we reach your street.
Do you service garage doors in Flintrock Falls, Rough Hollow and The Hills?
Yes. Several Lakeway-area communities have homeowner or property owners' associations. Check your association's rules on door style and color before you choose a new door, and tell us when you call so we can plan the visit. The Hills of Lakeway is a separate village with its own city government.
Does wildfire smoke or ash affect my garage door in Lakeway?
It can. Ash and dust settle in the tracks and seals and make rollers drag. After a smoky week, wipe the tracks, check the weatherstripping and test the safety reverse. If the door sticks or shakes, call us.
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.
