Starting prices, parts plus labor. What can raise the price: two springs instead of one, a heavy, insulated, wood or oversized door, worn cables, rollers or drums we find on the visit, or a part we have to order. You get the exact figure in writing before we start. Alfonso Garage Door is an insured Bay Area garage door company.
Westlake tract doors are original. The Westlake and Serramonte tracts went up between 1949 and the early 1960s, and a large share of those garages still run the door and hardware they were framed for. On a 60-year-old door we price the spring and the cable together, because a spring that has outlived its cycle rating almost always sits next to cables that have too. That is the spring pair from $320 rather than the single spring from $189.
The fog line runs right through the city. Daly City sits in the marine layer most of the year. Galvanized cable and sealed-bearing rollers cost more than builder-grade parts and last several times longer here. We quote the corrosion-rated part as standard on the west side of the city.
Hillside garages are out of square. Anything on the Southgate and Hillside slopes tends to have settled. A door that is out of plumb by half an inch binds in the track, which is why an off-track call in Daly City more often becomes a full track-truing job rather than a five-minute reset.
“On the west side of Daly City I replace cable before it snaps more often than after. If you can see rust bloom on the strand at the bottom bracket, you are weeks away, not years.”
Replace rather than repair when the quote crosses about half the price of a comparable new door installed, when the door is past 20 years old, or when this is the third paid repair in two years. A new single-car door in Daly City starts at $1,200 installed and resets every wear part at once. On a close call we price both paths in writing in the same visit, and you choose. Starting prices for every service are on the San Francisco cost guide.
Serving Daly City same-day, 24 hours a day, every day.
A single torsion spring starts at $189 installed. Replacing both springs together starts at $320. An extension spring pair with safety cables starts at $220. A higher cycle-rated spring adds from $60 and roughly doubles the service life.
Diagnosis starts at $45 depending on distance and time of day, and it is credited toward the repair when you go ahead. Fix the door and the diagnosis costs you nothing.
Night, weekend and holiday work is priced from the same list as a Tuesday afternoon. The diagnostic costs more after hours, and the repair itself is unchanged.
Our shop is in the Outer Sunset, about 10 minutes up Skyline. Same-day is normal, and we run 24 hours a day, every day.
A like-for-like replacement in an existing opening usually does not. Changing the opening size, or work tied to a garage conversion, usually does. We flag it before quoting if your job is one of those.
