A San Mateo Company, Based on Flores Street

Navarro Garage Door works out of 2555 Flores Street in San Mateo, which puts most of the Peninsula inside a short drive. We handle broken springs, worn cables, tired openers and doors that have come off their tracks, and we fit new doors when a repair is no longer worth it.

Housing here was largely built between the 1940s and the 1970s. San Mateo's median build year is 1965, Burlingame's is 1957, and Belmont is 83% pre-1980. A door installed with the house is now somewhere between 45 and 70 years old, which is well past the point where springs, cables and openers start giving out.

Garage Door Repairs, Usually in One Visit

We replace broken torsion springs, repair and replace openers, swap frayed cables and worn rollers, straighten bent tracks and replace damaged panels. The common parts ride on the van, which is what keeps most jobs down to a single visit. You hear the price before any work starts.

When the door will not open or close

Both go to the front of the list. A door that won't close is a security problem, and a door that won't open usually has a car behind it. Before you call, check that the opener still has power and that nothing is sitting in the beam between the two safety sensors near the floor. If the door went suddenly heavy or you heard a bang from the garage, that is almost certainly a broken spring. Leave that one alone. A torsion spring holds enough stored energy to badly hurt someone.

What Is Your Door Doing?

Find the symptom, see the likely cause and what it costs, then call.

The spring snapped

A bang from the garage, then the door feels impossibly heavy or will not lift at all.

$200 to $330

The door is off its track

It hangs crooked or jammed. Stop using it, because a door off track can come down.

$200 to $400

The opener will not respond

The motor hums, clicks, or does nothing. Usually the gear, the board or a sensor.

$200 to $400

Services

What we get called out for, most weeks.

Spring Replacement

The most common failure and the one that makes a door feel impossibly heavy. We carry the common sizes on the truck.

Opener Repair

Motors that hum, click, or do nothing. Most opener problems are the logic board, the gear, or a sensor out of line.

New Doors

Steel, insulated steel and wood, sized and fitted to the opening. We take the old door away.

Off-Track Doors

A door off its track is carrying weight the wrong way. Stop using it and call. We reset and realign.

Cables and Rollers

Frayed cables and worn rollers are what make a door grind and jerk. Cheap to fix before they take the door with them.

Tune-Ups

Balance, lubrication, hardware and sensor alignment. Catches the small things while they are still small.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a broken garage door spring cost in San Mateo?

$200 to $330 installed for a single torsion spring, and the job takes about an hour. If the door runs two springs, replacing both at once is usually the better call, because they wear at the same rate.

Can you come out the same day?

Usually yes if you call before early afternoon. A door stuck open is a security problem, so those go to the front of the list.

My door came off its track. Can I still use it?

No. Stop using it and unplug the opener. A door off its track is carrying weight in a way it was never designed to, and it can come down.

Which parts of the Peninsula do you cover?

San Mateo, Foster City, Belmont, Burlingame, Hillsborough, San Carlos, Millbrae and Daly City. Most of it is a short drive from our shop on Flores Street.
