Garage Door Repair in Orinda: Hillside Lots and Two-Car Doors
The City of Orinda describes itself as a suburban community in the hills east of the Caldecott Tunnel, and it was incorporated in 1985. Wikipedia adds that rolling, oak-covered hills frame the town. Homes here often sit on sloped lots, and the garage door faces a drive that climbs or drops to the street.
Orinda’s city FAQ says each home needs two enclosed parking spaces, usually a two-car garage. So one wide door often serves both cars. A door that wide is heavy, which puts the load on its springs and lift cables, and its opener runs every time anyone leaves or arrives.
Winters are cool and wet, with the most rain in December and January, and summers are dry and warm, according to Wikipedia. Damp weeks are hard on a worn bottom seal and on bare steel hardware. A dry summer week is a good time to have the balance checked.

Orinda Garage Door Questions
Who do I call when the door will not close at night?
Call (925) 386-2195 at any hour, because Sugar Pine is open 24/7. Park the car outside if you can, and do not push the door down by hand while a broken spring is still attached. Tell us what you heard and saw, and we will set up the visit.
Does a garage door job in Orinda need a permit?
The City of Orinda says building permits come from the Contra Costa County Building Department, not from the city. If you plan more than a repair, such as a wider opening or a new door size, check with the county before you order.
Why does my door leave a gap on a sloped driveway?
On hillside streets the slab under the door is often not level. A worn bottom seal, or a door sitting a little out of square, can leave a wedge-shaped gap. We check the seal, the track line and the spring balance before we suggest anything bigger.
