The island still swings real wood doors. Alameda’s Victorian and Craftsman streets carry original swing-out and early overhead wood doors that most companies refuse to touch. We spec springs to the door’s actual weight, and on a swing-out we will say plainly whether the honest fix is hardware or a conversion. A wood door that still has its shape is worth keeping. One that has dropped its joints is not, and we tell you which one you own.
Bay Farm and the East End are a different generation. The 1960s-and-later tracts on Bay Farm Island run standard steel sectionals where parts are cheap and predictable: rollers at $130 to $260 a set, springs at $189 to $349, tune-ups at $95 to $165. Same island, completely different price profile from the Victorian streets.
Everything metal on the island ages faster. We put corrosion-resistant hardware on every island job, the same as we do for the ocean side of San Francisco. It costs a little more per part and it is the difference between a cable that lasts and one we replace again in three years.
“People apologize to me for their old wood door. Do not. If the joints are tight it will outlast a builder-grade steel door, and I would rather rebuild its hardware than throw it away.”
The joints decide it. A wood door with tight joints gets new springs, cables and rollers and keeps going. A door that has racked and dropped at the corners is carrying its weight wrong, and no hardware fixes geometry. Replacement runs $1,200 to $2,800 installed for steel, more for a wood-look door that suits the house, and we quote both against the rebuild in the same visit. Every range is on the San Francisco cost guide.

$189 to $349 for a single torsion spring installed, $320 to $560 for the pair. Original wood doors run heavier springs, priced inside the same ranges once we weigh the door.
Yes, including swing-outs and early overheads. Springs are specced to the actual weight of your door, and we tell you straight whether the door is worth its next set of hardware.
Yes, the whole island. Bay Farm tract doors are standard steel sectionals with predictable parts pricing.
The island air works on cables and brackets year round. Corrosion-resistant parts cost slightly more and last several times longer, so they go on every island quote.
It is $45 to $95 and credited toward the repair, so doing the work makes the visit cost nothing.
