The Short Version
We work on garage doors in and around Carson City, nothing else
The housing stock here runs from 1938 up through 2003, with most of it built in the 1960s and 70s across the 14 named areas that make up this market. That matters because a lot of what we get called out for is original hardware on a door that's older than the owner standing in front of it - torsion springs sized for a panel weight nobody makes the same way now, openers with chain drives nobody services anymore, track brackets bolted into framing from a different era of code.
We cover the stretch out to Virginia City (12 miles), Dollar Point (18 miles), and Tahoma (21 miles), and we'll go as far as Meyers (26 miles), Verdi (27 miles), Sun Valley (31 miles), and Markleeville (33 miles) for the right job
Past that - Spanish Springs, Cold Springs, Alta, Washington, Dutch Flat, Foresthill, Georgetown - we still take calls, but drive time starts to matter for same-day work.
The winters here are cold enough that steel contracts, lubricant gums up, and springs that were already tired give out on the first hard freeze
That's the bulk of our call volume from November through March.
Contacting Us
Call us at (775) 206-0296. We're based at 580 Mallory Way, Carson City, NV 89701, and that's where the trucks run out of each morning.
If you're not sure whether what you're hearing is a spring, a cable, or just a track out of alignment, call anyway and describe the noise - a grinding sound on the way up is usually not the same problem as a door that won't budge at all, and knowing which one you've got changes what we bring on the truck.
What We Will Not Do
We don't do new construction garage door installs as a general contractor line item - we handle repair, replacement, and opener work on existing homes, not builder packages on new subdivisions. If your door is original to a house built in the 1970s and the track system has been bent and re-bent over the decades, there's a point where patching it costs more over time than swapping the whole assembly, and we'll tell you when you've hit that point instead of billing you for another patch.
We also won't quote a repair over the phone sight unseen when the problem could be a bent torsion tube or a cracked panel - too many things look the same from the description but cost very differently to fix, and a guess that's wrong either way wastes your money or ours.
Given the income level and housing age typical of this area, a lot of households here can afford to replace rather than endlessly repair an old door, but that's their call to make, not ours to push. We'll give you the honest read on the hardware and let you decide.
