Garage door repair near you
We fix and install garage doors in every Beaverton ZIP code, and much of the work is on attached two-car garages in subdivisions built from the 1960s on, where springs, openers and steel panels have logged decades of trips.

Much of Beaverton is tract housing with attached two-car garages, now 30 to 60-plus years old. The city grew from about 6,000 people in 1960 to more than 18,500 in 1970, then kept building straight through the 1990s.
In the postwar boom, a single developer often platted the land, built the streets and sold the houses, as with the single-level ramblers of nearby Cedar Hills. Doors on one block therefore tend to share a width, a height and sometimes a model, which helps when a section needs matching and hurts once that model is discontinued.
Later decades layered on different garages. Murrayhill on the south side went up in phases through the 1990s and 2000s under several homeowners associations, Sexton Mountain and Cooper Mountain put houses on higher ground, and condos around The Round and the MAX stations traded private doors for shared parking. Each layer sends us a different call, from spring swaps to HOA paperwork.
A Beaverton tract house usually comes with an attached two-car garage, closed by one wide door or two single doors, with the opener on the ceiling. On the oldest houses, the door may be a replacement while the jambs and header are original.
That original framing matters, because a new door needs square, solid jambs to seal and run true, so we check it before ordering. Murrayhill's doors, hung as each phase sold, are reaching the age when the first spring or opener quits, and a new door there may need to match association style and color rules. Some condo owners near The Round share one garage entry instead.
Beaverton calls track the age of the subdivision, from tired springs on the oldest streets to association-approved doors in Murrayhill and shared entries near MAX.
Doors on 1960s and 1970s Beaverton streets have been cycling for decades, and an ordinary spring is built for something near 10,000 open-and-close trips, so a snapped torsion spring is the call we expect most from the older tracts. We weigh the door, wind springs matched to it and check the balance before we leave.
Where one developer hung the same door down a whole street, an odd section looks wrong on a block where every door matches, so we match a dented section to the original model when it is still made and say so before ordering when it is not. While that section is off, its hinges and strut get inspected too.
Murrayhill and other HOA neighborhoods may set rules on door style, color and windows, so we price a door that fits both the opening and the guidelines, and we write down the maker, model and color for your architectural review. If the garage shares a wall with a family room, an insulated door is worth the step up.
Openers made before 1993 predate the federal entrapment rule, and some older Beaverton garages may still run one. A new opener adds photo eyes and an automatic reverse, and we suggest a belt drive when someone sleeps in the room above the garage.
Condo and mixed-use buildings around The Round and the city's MAX stations share garage entries that cycle far more often than any house door. We work through the manager or the association on approvals, access and timing, and keep the work inside the amount they approve, with written notes the board can file.
We reach Beaverton from US 26 across its north side and OR 217 through the middle. From there, Canyon Road, Tualatin Valley Highway, Scholls Ferry Road, Hall Boulevard, Walker Road or Murray Boulevard gets us to the street, depending on the neighborhood.
At rush hour, traffic on 217 and the Sunset matters more than mileage, so we route around the slow stretches. Tract driveways usually leave room to park facing the door. For a steep drive, or a condo building near The Round or Beaverton Transit Center, a heads-up lets us arrange parking, a loading spot or a visitor pass.
Beaverton incorporated in 1893 with about 400 residents, and Alonzo Cady served as its first mayor.
Beaverton's name comes from the beaver dams that once filled the area, and the Atfalati village there was called Chakeipi, meaning place of the beaver.
Nike tops the city's 2024 list of largest employers even though the company successfully resisted annexation into Beaverton.
Beaverton Transit Center is TriMet's busiest transit center and the northern end of the WES Commuter Rail line.
The 550-seat Patricia Reser Center for the Arts opened in downtown Beaverton in 2022.
Yes. We work in 97003, 97005, 97006, 97007 and 97008, from the older streets near Cedar Hills Crossing to Murrayhill and the condo blocks near The Round. Several of those ZIP codes also reach into unincorporated Aloha and other county land, and an address outside city limits is served exactly like one inside them, at the posted price. A texted photo of the door plus your cross street tells us which parts to load.
Sometimes, so we check them before ordering. On the oldest Beaverton tracts the door may be a later replacement while the jambs and header date to the house, and a new door seals and travels true only on square, solid framing. If a jamb is soft at the bottom or out of plumb, the quote says so, and the framing gets fixed before the door arrives.
No. A Beaverton job costs what the posted list says, exactly as in Portland, and a finished repair never carries a separate trip fee. The diagnostic visit on the pricing page applies only when you choose to hold off after the diagnosis, and any repair made on that same visit cancels it, so the drive out to Murrayhill or Five Oaks costs you nothing extra.
It shapes the arrival window more than the day. Traffic on OR 217 and US 26 at the peaks matters more than mileage, so we route around the slow stretches by Canyon Road, Scholls Ferry Road or Murray Boulevard and give you a window rather than a promised minute. A broken spring or a car shut inside moves up the list, so say so when you call.
It may, so check before you order. Murrayhill was built in phases under several homeowners associations, and associations commonly review exterior changes like door style, color and window layout. We give you the maker, model, color name and a picture of the design for your submission, then place the order once it is approved. Spring, cable and opener repairs leave the door looking the same.
No, provided the new door goes into an opening of the same size, because Oregon's statewide building rules exempt door replacement without structural work from permits. Enlarging the opening counts as changing its dimensions, so that version goes through the local building office first. Our permits guide lists what to confirm before any framing comes out.
These Westside neighbors share Beaverton's highways, from Aloha and Hillsboro out west to Raleigh Hills and West Slope on the Portland side.
Call with the symptom, or text a photo of the door and the opener, and we will name the part and the posted price before anyone drives out.
