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 Sachse weather does to a garage door
We found no weather table for Sachse itself. The Dallas Love Field 1991-2020 normals give a July average high near 97 degrees and a January average low near 38, with about 39 inches of precipitation a year. Heat dries out seals and lubricant and wears springs and rollers.
A major tornado crossed Garland and Rowlett on December 26, 2015, on either side of Sachse, though we found no Sachse damage claim. Storms and outages are still worth planning for: after a hard wind, look for a bent track or a door that rubs. In February 2021 Winter Storm Uri caused rotating power outages, so know where your manual release is.
Twice a year, wipe the tracks, lubricate the rollers and hinges, and test the safety reverse. A door that jumps or shudders on the way up needs a look before it gets worse.
- Check tracks after high wind
- Lubricate rollers and hinges twice a year
- Know where the manual release is

Opener safety, permits and design rules in Sachse
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. Sachse is its own city, so its rules come from the City of Sachse. Development Services handles building permits and inspections at 3815 Sachse Rd., Building B, phone 469-429-4781, and since July 2025 permits go through the city's online SmartGov system. The city says building permits are required for most projects, but its page does not mention garage doors or openers. We could not confirm whether a garage door replacement needs a permit. Ask Development Services at cityofsachse.com.
Texas rules. We found no Texas statewide license for garage door contractors. The Texas Department of Public Safety says installers who only install garage door or gate openers need no DPS license, unless the opener is connected to an alarm system or can monitor or log who comes and goes.

Sachse garage door repair: questions we hear
Is there garage door repair near me in Sachse?
Yes. Emil Garage Doors repairs garage doors in Sachse (ZIP 75048) 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 Sachse?
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 Sachse?
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 Sachse?
Sachse addresses use ZIP 75048. Garland is an accepted alternate name for that ZIP, so some mail may read Garland. Call us if you are not sure we reach your address.
Do you service garage doors in Woodbridge?
Yes. Woodbridge is a large master-planned community in north Sachse, and many of its homes date from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Check your association's rules on door style and color before choosing a new door, and tell us when you call.
Do you serve homes on the Collin County side of Sachse?
Yes. Sachse sits in both Dallas and Collin counties, and we serve homes on both sides of the county line.
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.
