Garage Door Garage Door Installation Novato, CA
Novato garage door installation runs through our shop constantly. Set in California's Mediterranean climate region, these doors meet mild but steady humidity swings that quietly seize hinges, intense afternoon UV that dries out weather seals and bottom gaskets, and sun-baked rubber seals that stiffen and split, and we choose parts that outlast it.
Set in California's Mediterranean climate region, Novato has a mild Mediterranean climate of warm, dry summers and gentle, damp winters, with low annual rainfall and abundant sun. The practical result is mild but steady humidity swings that quietly seize hinges, intense afternoon UV that dries out weather seals and bottom gaskets, and sun-baked rubber seals that stiffen and split, which is exactly what our parts selection targets.
The repair board in Novato fills up with the same culprits: frayed lift cables on aging sectional doors, broken torsion springs on high-cycle suburban doors, misaligned photo-eye sensors after seasonal grit buildup, and opener logic-board failures after summer heat spikes. Each is a one-visit fix with parts already on the truck.
Garage door installation is more than swapping panels — done right, it's a coordinated project that involves measuring the rough opening, ordering the correct door size and configuration, scheduling delivery, removing and recycling the old door, installing new tracks and hardware, mounting and pairing an opener (if needed), and verifying every safety feature is calibrated to UL-325. Our turn-key installations handle every step including permits and HOA paperwork where applicable, so the homeowner's only job is choosing the door style.
We install residential single-car, double-car, and oversized RV/garage-shop doors, plus commercial sectional, rolling steel, and fire-rated installations. Every install includes a written measurement and configuration check before we order, color and finish confirmation with a physical sample, and a complete balance and safety test after install. The 10-year workmanship warranty backs the installation itself — separate from the manufacturer's warranty on the door and opener.
Most residential installs are completed in 4–6 hours including old-door removal and clean-up. Commercial installs vary by door type — a typical sectional commercial door installs in one day, while large rolling steel may take 1–2 days depending on opening size and motor configuration.
Signs you need garage door installation
Building a new garage or addition
New construction installs require coordination with the framer on opening dimensions, headroom, and side-room clearances. We can spec the opening before framing begins.
Existing door past repair value
When repair quotes exceed 50% of new door cost or the door is structurally compromised, installation of a new door is the right economic call.
Aesthetic remodel of the home
Garage doors take up 30–40% of street-facing facade on most homes. A new install dramatically updates curb appeal.
Insulation/energy upgrade
Attached garages with old uninsulated doors leak conditioned air. A new R-12 to R-18 insulated install can reduce HVAC load measurably.
Storm or accident damage
Insurance claims often cover full door replacement after major impact or storm damage. We document for the claim and install the replacement.
Common causes & what we fix
Replacement for damaged door
Single-event damage (vehicle, storm, accident) often warrants full replacement rather than partial repair, particularly if the tracks are bent or panels are cracked through.
End-of-life on existing door
Doors over 20 years old often have multiple components at end of life simultaneously — replacement bundles the work into one project.
Code compliance upgrades
Battery-backup safety codes (such as California’s SB-969) and UL-325 (safety auto-reverse) standards have evolved. New installs bring everything to current code.
Insulation upgrade
Going from a non-insulated to R-18 door requires full replacement; you cannot retro-fit foam to a thin-skinned non-insulated door cost-effectively.
Style change
Switching from raised-panel to carriage-style or full-view is a full-door replacement — the rail and track configurations differ.
