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

Mostly 1970s-era houses and historic streets near downtown
According to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey as summarized by city-stats.com, the median San Angelo home was built in 1977 and about 63 percent of homes are owner-occupied. Sources differ on the exact single-family share, so we say roughly three in four homes are single-family. The 2020 census counted about 43,300 housing units, so many original doors and openers are now more than 40 years old.
San Angelo grew up beside Fort Concho, founded in 1867, and the Angelo Heights Historic District is on the National Register of Historic Places. Listings describe Bentwood Country Club Estates on the west side as a golf-course community. We could not verify whether the city reviews door changes in a historic district or what association rules apply in Bentwood, so ask the city and any association before you change a door.
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 San Angelo weather does to a garage door
Wikipedia's 1991-2020 normals give San Angelo a July mean high near 96 degrees, about 30 days a year at or above 100 and about 60 mornings with a low below freezing. Summer heat dries lubricant and stresses springs, and freezing mornings stiffen openers and seals.
The National Weather Service in San Angelo says a storm sat nearly stationary over the city for about 90 minutes on May 21, 2020, with hail from golf ball to teacup size causing considerable damage to vehicles and roofs across much of San Angelo and Goodfellow Air Force Base. Hail that size dents steel panels, cracks window inserts and can bend tracks.
Twice a year, wipe the tracks, lubricate the rollers and hinges and test the safety reverse. After a hail storm, look over the panels and track sections before you run the opener.
- Check panels and windows after hail
- Lubricate rollers and hinges twice a year
- Test the safety reverse on cold mornings

Opener safety, permits and design rules in San Angelo
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. San Angelo is its own city. Building Permits and Inspections is at 52 W. College Avenue, phone 325-657-4210, and the city's site is sanangelo.gov. The city says an electrical permit is required for all electric work and that anyone doing work that needs a permit must be registered with the building official. Its page does not mention garage doors or openers, so we could not confirm whether a garage door replacement or an opener swap needs a permit. Call the permits office before the work.
Texas rules. We found no Texas statewide license for garage door contractors. The Texas Department of Public Safety says installers of garage door or gate openers who do no other regulated security work need no DPS license, unless the opener is connected to an alarm system or records who comes and goes. Whether wiring an opener's power supply counts as regulated electrical work is something we could not verify.

San Angelo garage door repair: questions we hear
Is there garage door repair near me in San Angelo?
Yes. Emil Garage Doors repairs garage doors in San Angelo (ZIP 76901) 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 San Angelo?
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 San Angelo?
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 San Angelo?
San Angelo's street ZIP codes are 76901, 76903, 76904, 76905 and 76908. The 76902 and 76906 codes are PO boxes only. Call us if you are not sure we reach your address.
Do you service garage doors in the historic parts of San Angelo?
Yes. Angelo Heights and the streets near Fort Concho have older homes, and some original doors and parts are decades old. We could not verify which rules apply to doors in a historic district, so ask the city before you choose a new door, and tell us when you call so we can plan the visit.
Do you repair garage doors in Grape Creek and Wall?
Yes. Grape Creek is just north of San Angelo along US 87 and Wall is to the east-south-east. Tell us the town and your cross street when you call and we book the soonest 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.
