What counts as an emergency

Each card above opens the what-to-do-right-now page for that situation. The full set is under common problems.

How an emergency call runs

  1. You call and describe it

    One sentence is usually enough. We will tell you on the phone whether it is safe to touch the door before we arrive.

  2. You get a real arrival window

    For right now, based on where the trucks actually are. Emergencies displace scheduled work.

  3. The door gets made safe first

    Secured and stable before anything else, so the house is not standing open while parts are discussed.

  4. You approve the price before the repair

    Same list as any scheduled job, written out on the cost page. A 7pm call is priced from it exactly like a 9am one.

Hours are 7:00 AM - 8:00 PM, Sunday through Friday. Closed Saturday.

Common questions

Do you offer emergency garage door repair in San Mateo?

Yes. A door stuck open, a trapped car, or a door hanging off its track goes to the front of the list, and same-day is the norm when you call before early afternoon. We are open 7:00 AM - 8:00 PM, Sunday through Friday, and closed Saturday.

Does an emergency visit cost more?

The job costs what the job costs, from the same price list as any scheduled visit, and you approve the number before work starts. An evening call is priced the same as a morning one.

My garage door is stuck open at night. What do I do until you arrive?

Pull the red disconnect cord and try lowering the door by hand. If it comes down smoothly, close it and lock the manual latch if there is one. If it resists or feels heavy, leave it up, move valuables out of easy view, and park the car across the opening if you can.

How fast can you get here?

Call and you get a real window for today rather than a number printed on a page. We are based in San Mateo and most of what we cover is a short drive from it, and an emergency displaces scheduled work.

Need it looked at today?

Call before early afternoon and we can usually get out the same day.
