Boerne Garage Door Pros
Questions Boerne Homeowners Ask Us Before They Call
Answers to what Boerne homeowners ask before calling a garage door company: what we fix, where we work, how to reach us, and what happens after you call.
Local detail
The Work We Take On
Most of the calls we get are for the same handful of problems: a broken torsion spring, a cable that's jumped the drum, an opener that runs but won't lift the door, or a track that's bent from a car backing into it. We work on the door itself, the springs, cables, rollers, tracks, and openers - residential garage doors, nothing commercial.
Housing in this service area was mostly built between 1972 and 2005, with a lot of it going up in the 1980s and 90s across the eight named subdivisions we cover. That matters because a lot of those original doors are still running on the hardware they shipped with. Torsion springs from that era are usually sized differently than what's sold off the shelf now, so a repair often means matching an older system rather than grabbing a universal part.
One honest limit: if a door has taken enough damage that the frame or multiple panels are bent, replacement is usually cheaper than trying to patch it section by section, and we'll tell you that up front instead of billing you for a repair that won't hold. We also don't do new construction installs as part of garage additions - just existing doors and openers.
The area
How to Reach Us
Call 18302086870. That's the number that reaches us directly, no call center in between.
We're based at 21 Herff Rd, Boerne, TX 78006, and that's also where you'd come if you ever needed to drop by in person rather than call. Our service area runs out from there to the named communities nearby - Fair Oaks Ranch about 6 miles off, Cross Mountain around 10, Shavano Park and Hollywood Park further out toward 17 and 19 miles, with Helotes, Comfort, Lakehills, and Bulverde all within a 15-to-18 mile range, and the Dominion about 11 miles southeast. If you're not sure whether your address falls inside that range, call and ask - it's a quick answer.
The climate here is mild most of the year with occasional freeze days in winter, which is relevant to one thing homeowners ask about a lot: lubricant and weatherstripping. We don't stock heavy cold-climate gear because we don't need it here, but we do carry what handles an occasional hard freeze on hinges and rollers.
What we find
What Happens After You Call
When you call, we ask what the door is doing - won't open, opens partway and stops, makes a grinding noise, sags on one side - because that narrows down whether it's a spring, a cable, an opener logic board, or something in the track before anyone drives out. We'll also ask the rough age of the house, since a door installed when a neighborhood was built in the 80s or 90s often needs a different spring size or an opener with older drive hardware than something put in during the 2000s.
On site, we diagnose the specific part that's failed rather than quoting a flat price over the phone, because a broken spring and a stripped gear on the opener are not the same job. If a part isn't something we carry on the truck - certain older opener logic boards, for instance - we'll tell you that and give you a real estimate on lead time rather than guessing.
We don't push full door replacement when a repair will hold. If replacement really is the better call, we'll explain why in plain terms: bent frame, panel damage past the point of patching, or an opener that's cheaper to replace outright than to keep sourcing discontinued parts for.
Questions
Common questions
Do you work outside Boerne itself?
Yes. Our service area extends out to Fair Oaks Ranch, Cross Mountain, Helotes, Comfort, Lakehills, Shavano Park, Bulverde, Hollywood Park, and the Dominion area - roughly 6 to 19 miles from our shop at 21 Herff Rd. If you're unsure whether your address is covered, call 18302086870 and ask.
My house is from the 1980s - will parts for my door still be available?
Usually, yes, though torsion springs and some opener drive components from that era differ from current off-the-shelf sizing. A lot of the housing stock in this area dates from the 1980s and 90s, so matching older hardware is a routine part of the job, not a rare exception.
Does the freeze we get in winter cause garage door problems?
It can stiffen lubricant on rollers and hinges and make weatherstripping less flexible, since the area sees occasional freeze days even though the climate is mild overall. It's not the kind of cold that cracks hardware outright, but it's worth having the door serviced before a cold snap if it's already making noise.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
Not usually. A broken spring, a bad cable, and a failed opener board are different repairs at different costs, so we diagnose on site before quoting. We'll tell you plainly if a repair isn't worth it compared to replacement once we've seen the door.
Do you install new garage doors for new construction?
No - we work on existing residential doors and openers, including full replacements when a repair no longer makes sense, but we don't handle new construction installs as part of a build or addition.
