A lot of Berkeley doors belong to landlords, not occupants. Around the campus and through the flatlands, the person calling us is often a property owner who is not standing in front of the door. We work that way comfortably: the tenant sends us a photo, we quote the owner in writing, the owner approves by text, and the invoice is itemized for the property file. Extra work waits for your written OK before it goes on the invoice.
The openers are older than the tenants. Berkeley garages hold a remarkable number of 1980s and early-90s openers, still running on the original rail. Anything made before 1993 came out ahead of the UL 325 photo-eye rule, and no service call makes it compliant, so on those units we price a new opener beside any repair. Anything after that we fix: gears and sprockets at $140 to $280, boards at $190 to $340.
Flatland garages sit low and swell in winter. West Berkeley garages near the bay run damp at the slab. Door bottoms, seals and the lowest hinges go first. A new bottom seal in an existing retainer is $90 to $180 and it protects the panel above it, which is a far bigger bill.
“Half my Berkeley calls start with a photo from a tenant and end with a text approval from an owner in another city. The written quote is the whole system.”
For an owner-occupier the line is half the cost of a new door. For a rental the math shifts: a $1,200 to $2,800 new door with a fresh opener means years of no tenant calls, and that quiet has a value the repair line does not capture. We put both numbers in the same written quote and let the owner run their own math. Every range lives on the San Francisco cost guide.

$189 to $349 for a single torsion spring installed, $320 to $560 for both replaced together.
Yes. The tenant gives us access, you get the written quote and approve it remotely, and the itemized invoice goes to you. Work starts once your written OK comes through.
We can usually make it move, but it was built before the 1993 UL 325 photo-eye rule and cannot be made compliant. We will quote a modern opener alongside any repair so you see both numbers.
$90 to $180 for a new bottom seal in the existing retainer, $140 to $260 with a new aluminum retainer. Cheap insurance for a flatland garage.
Most Berkeley calls get a same-day slot. We come straight across the bridge from our San Francisco shop, any hour, any day.
