Garage Door Installation in Los Angeles - Written Price, Installed in One Visit

Fast, Reliable Garage Door Installation Across Los Angeles

New garage door installation in Los Angeles typically runs $825-$2,595 for a complete door and track system, depending on size, material, and whether we’re replacing a salt-corroded single car door in Mar Vista or a custom wood door on a hillside lot in Laurel Canyon. We coordinate installs from our Los Angeles office and dispatch crews across the city six days a week, with most standard replacements finished in a single visit. Salt air near the Pacific eats door hardware faster than almost anywhere in Southern California, so we spec coastal doors and inland doors differently, down to the spring coating and hinge material. That’s the kind of local knowledge you get when you call Los Angeles technicians who’ve worked both sides of the 405. For a written price before any work starts, call (213) 348-6550.

Why Servo Garage Doors Los Angeles Is Los Angeles’s Preferred Garage Door Installation Company

We’re a garage door installation company that photographs the failed component before quoting a replacement. That’s not a marketing line. It’s Clause 4 of The Haven Standard, the documentation system Servo has worked under since 2015, and it means you see the rusted torsion spring or the racked track before anyone asks you to spend a dollar. Los Angeles homeowners researching garage door installation tend to read the three-star reviews first, want the price range on the page, and walk away from urgency. We respect that. Our written scope and flat price come before any work begins, per Clause 1. No estimator muttering “we’ll see what we find”; you get a document.

Marcus Deller leads the team, and every technician who arrives at a home in Los Angeles is background-checked and uniformed, with the company license number printed on the work order, not buried in a footer. What we leave behind matters more: a documented photo record of what we found and what we did, on every visit, whether it’s a full Garage Door Installation in the Valley or a spring swap near the beach. Since 2015, we’ve completed over 18,000 garage door jobs across the greater LA area. Every one closed with paperwork, not a handshake.

Our Garage Door Installation Services in Los Angeles

New Door Installation

Whether the old door is a rusted-out aluminum slab that’s been slamming for years or a wood door that warped past the point of repair, we handle full tear-out and replacement. In Los Angeles, the existing opening often dictates the scope. Homes built in the 1920s through the 1960s in neighborhoods like Highland Park, Boyle Heights, and the San Fernando Valley typically have single-car openings too narrow for a modern SUV. We measure for full-width replacements and, where needed, modify the frame so the new door actually fits the vehicle you drive today.

Single Car Door

Single car doors remain the most common installation in older Los Angeles housing stock, particularly the 1950s ranches that blanket the Valley and the craftsman bungalows between downtown and Echo Park. A standard steel single car door in Los Angeles runs $825-$1,595 installed, though doors with windows, insulation, or custom paneling push higher. We stock common single car widths and carry the steel backing, track, and torsion hardware on the truck so we can usually complete the job in one day.

Double Car Door

Double car doors in Los Angeles run $1,295-$2,595 for a standard 16-foot steel door, and more for wood or custom builds. Many LA garages were framed for a single car, so a double door often means widening the opening, reframing the header, and pulling permits where the city requires them. We’ve done enough of these in the hills and the flats to know which neighborhoods trigger structural approval and which sail through as a like-for-like replacement.

Custom Garage Door

For homeowners in Laurel Canyon, Bel Air, and the Hollywood Hills, garages are often carved into a slope with a low-clearance opening or a non-standard width that no stock door fits. Custom garage door installation in Los Angeles means building or ordering to the inch, then engineering the track and torsion assembly for the pitch of the driveway and the weight of the door. We’ve built custom steel and wood doors for garages where the spring line sits inches from the side wall, and we’ve documented every one with photos before anyone signs a change order. Custom steel doors in Los Angeles typically start around $1,800 and rise with size, glazing, and hardware.

Trusted Brands We Service in Los Angeles

We install and service all eight major brands: LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, and Raynor. For Los Angeles customers, brand matters less than corrosion resistance and cycle rating. We regularly spec Raynor coastal-rated doors for homes west of the 405, and LiftMaster openers with logic boards that survive San Fernando Valley heat waves. We keep springs, rollers, hinges, and cables on the truck for all these brands, so a Los Angeles install doesn’t stall while someone drives across town for a part.

Common Garage Door Installation Problems We See in Los Angeles Homes

• Salt-air corrosion on springs and cables. In Venice, Mar Vista, and Playa del Rey, the marine layer deposits salt spray onto torsion springs, cables, and bottom brackets. Springs that should last 15,000 cycles snap at 6,000, and cables fray where the salt has eaten the galvanized coating.
• Post-tremor track misalignment. Los Angeles sits atop active fault systems. After even a moderate M3.5 tremor, lateral loads knock tracks out of alignment, pop rollers out of the channel, or rack the frame out of square. Doors jumped off track are one of our most common emergency calls the morning after a quake.
• Heat-warped wood doors in the Valley. San Fernando Valley summers regularly pass 110°F. Wood doors absorb that heat, expand, and warp. By August, a door that closed fine in March is binding on the jamb or lifting unevenly. We see it every year in the same neighborhoods.
• Undersized openings in pre-1960 housing stock. 1920s craftsman bungalows in Highland Park and Boyle Heights and 1950s ranch homes in the Valley were mostly built with single-car garages sized for sedans of that era. Modern trucks and SUVs don’t fit. Full-width replacement or structural modification is a steady, citywide demand we handle weekly.

FAQs - Garage Door Installation in Los Angeles

How often should coastal homeowners in Venice or Playa del Rey get a corrosion inspection?

Twice a year. Within a few miles of the Pacific, the marine layer deposits salt spray that rusts torsion springs, hinges, and bottom brackets up to three times faster than inland. A biannual inspection catches pitting on springs and frayed cables before a snapped spring leaves you with a door that won’t open. Call (213) 348-6550 to schedule one.

After an earthquake, what should I check on my garage door before using it?

Check whether the door opens evenly and whether the tracks are still parallel to each other. If they’re out of rake, which is a real condition following a quake, a loud bang or a jerky lift means a roller has jumped the track. See our Warranty Coverage section below, and if the track looks off, call (213) 348-6550. That lateral load snaps springs and bends tracks even in minor tremors.

Do I need a permit to convert my garage to an ADU in Los Angeles?

Yes. Los Angeles has some of the most permissive ADU ordinances in the country, which is why garage-to-living-space conversions are common, but the structural work (infill, header installation, door removal) requires city approval and coordination with building and safety. We handle the door removal and structural infill, and we coordinate the permit process with your contractor. Bring us the plans; we’ll give you a written scope for the door work.

What spring should I choose for a coastal home in Mar Vista?

A high-cycle coated spring rated for 25,000 cycles, not a stock spring. Stock torsion springs in Mar Vista snap early because the salt air pits the steel and weakens the coil. We install galvanized or coated springs and stainless end bearing plates as standard on any install west of the 405. Last month our crew replaced a salt-corroded Wayne Dalton torsion spring on a 1920s craftsman bungalow in Mar Vista that snapped after only 6,000 cycles. We installed a 25,000-cycle coated spring and swapped the rusted end bearing plates for stainless, cutting future corrosion failure by years.

Can you install a steel door that won’t rust near the beach?

Yes. Steel doors for coastal Los Angeles need a rust-resistant coating and stainless or galvanized hardware, which we spec for any install in Venice, Mar Vista, Playa del Rey, or Culver City. Standard hardware on a stock steel door lasts years less in salt air, and the difference is documented in the warranty. Bring us a written estimate from another company, and we’ll give you a free second opinion on their spec.
