One of the newest housing stocks in Davis County
According to the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 American Community Survey, Syracuse has about 10,000 housing units and a median year built of 2005. Only about 3 percent were built before 1970, and about 70 percent were built in 2000 or later. About 93 percent are single-family detached houses, about 90 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied, and the median home value is about $573,000. Wikipedia reports the population grew from 9,398 in 2000 to 32,141 in 2020.
That makes Syracuse a city of garage doors that are mostly under 25 years old. Typical calls on doors that age are a first spring or cable replacement on the oldest of them, a worn roller or hinge, a misaligned safety sensor or an opener upgrade. We could not verify the names of subdivisions or any association rules, so check yours before you choose a new door style.
Give 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 we choose new springs.
- First spring and cable replacement on 2000s doors
- Opener and sensor upgrades on wide garages
- Association rules: ask before you change the door style

What Syracuse weather does to a garage door
Wikipedia's climate table for Syracuse, which uses 1981-2010 normals, gives a January mean high of 35.5 degrees, a July mean high of 89.6, a record low of minus 16, about 24 inches of precipitation and about 39 inches of snow a year. Cold stiffens rubber seals and lubricant, and wide swings in temperature work springs and cables.
Syracuse sits between the Great Salt Lake and Interstate 15, and Davis County has recorded some of the strongest gusts on the Wasatch Front. The National Weather Service reported 99 mph in Farmington during the September 8, 2020 windstorm, according to KSL, and the Utah Highway Patrol restricted semitrailer travel in Weber and Davis counties, according to the Deseret News. We found no Syracuse gust figure or damage report, but a wide double door is a large sail in a strong gust.
Before winter, wipe the tracks, lubricate the rollers and hinges, and test the safety reverse. After a windy night, look at the track and panels before you run the opener.
- Lubricate rollers and hinges before winter
- Check tracks and panels after a windy night
- Know where the manual release is for outages

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

Four steps from call to done
You call or send the form
Give us your street or neighborhood and describe the problem.
We look at the door
We check the part that failed and the parts that carry load around it.

You hear the options and the price, and nothing starts until you say yes.
We fix it and test it
We run the door through full cycles and test the safety sensors and the reverse.
Opener safety, permits and design rules in Syracuse
Opener safety. The federal standard for residential garage door operators (Consumer Product Safety Commission, 16 CFR part 1211) calls for automatic reversing and entrapment protection such as photo-eye sensors. If yours stopped working, we test the reverse and the sensors and repair or replace what failed. See opener installation.
Design rules. Planned communities and historic districts can limit door style and color. Ask before you choose a new door: new garage doors.
City permits. Syracuse is its own city, so permits come from the Syracuse Building Department at City Hall, 1979 West 1900 South, phone (801) 825-1477, with applications through the city's online permit portal (syracuseut.gov). The city's permit list covers basements, additions, decks, pools, air conditioners, furnaces, electrical and plumbing work and re-siding, and says exemptions are listed in Chapter 1 of the International Residential Code. It does not mention garage doors or openers, so we could not confirm whether a garage door replacement needs a permit. Ask the department before the work.
State rules. Under Utah Code 58-55-305, repair or improvement work on a building valued under $7,000, labor and materials together, may be done without a contractor license. On a job over $3,000 the person files a one-time affirmation with the Division of Professional Licensing that they carry public liability insurance. Electrical work on such a job must be done by an electrical contractor or journeyman who holds the state electrical license. Utah rule R156-55a-301 lists garage doors in the scope of the S220 Carpentry and Flooring Contractor classification. You can check any contractor at dopl.utah.gov.

Syracuse garage door repair: questions we hear
Is there garage door repair near me in Syracuse?
Yes. Emil Garage Doors repairs garage doors in Syracuse (ZIP 84075) and the neighborhoods next door. Call (801) 980-3670, 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 Syracuse?
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 Syracuse?
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 Syracuse?
Syracuse has one ZIP code, 84075. Call us with your address if you are not sure we reach it, especially near the borders with Clearfield, West Point and Layton.
My Syracuse garage door is only about 10 years old. Can it need repairs already?
Yes. Torsion springs are rated for a set number of cycles, and a door that opens several times a day can use them up in 10 to 15 years. Rollers, sensors and openers wear too. We inspect the door, explain what we find and quote the price before we start.
Do you repair garage doors after a wind storm in Syracuse?
Yes. Strong gusts can push a light door out of its track, bend the track and strain the opener. If your door shakes, scrapes or has come off the track, stop using the opener and 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.
