Garage door help in Newark
A garage door company that answers the phone
When a garage door quits, you need someone to pick up the phone and then actually show up. That's most of what we do.
Olive Garage Doors has been repairing and installing garage doors around the Bay Area for more than ten years. We're family-owned, and Newark is one of the cities we work in most. Our technicians come to your house with the common parts already in the truck, so most repairs are done in one visit.
Before we start anything, the technician tells you what's wrong and what it will take to fix it. If a simple repair is enough, we won't try to sell you a new door.
Call us if your garage door:
- won't open, or opens a few inches and stops
- made a loud bang and now feels very heavy
- hangs crooked or has come out of its track
- has a loose, frayed or snapped cable
- grinds, shakes or is suddenly much louder
- ignores the remote or reverses before it closes
What we do
Garage door services in Newark
Repairs are the bulk of our work in Newark. We also install openers and new garage doors.
Broken spring repair
A loud bang, then a door that's too heavy to lift. That's almost always a broken torsion spring.
Spring repairCables and rollers
Frayed cables and worn rollers make a door crooked, noisy and unsafe. We replace them before they fail.
Cable and roller repairOff-track doors
If a door has jumped its track, stop using it. We realign the track, reset the door and find out why it happened.
Off-track repairGarage door openers
Openers that hum, stall or ignore the remote. We'll inspect it for free and tell you if a repair makes sense.
Opener serviceNew garage doors
Replacement doors in steel, insulated and carriage-house styles, measured and installed for your opening.

What we see most often in Newark
A lot of Newark's houses went up in the years after the city incorporated in 1955, and many still have doors, springs or openers that have been running for a long time. Age is behind most of the calls we get. Springs are built for a set number of open-and-close cycles, rollers wear down, and older openers don't have the safety sensors or battery backup that newer ones do.
The bay plays a part too. The west side of town backs onto marshland and salt ponds, and damp, salty air is hard on bare steel. Keep an eye out for rust on springs, cables and hinges. Our main site has a short guide on keeping garage doors near the water from rusting.
How a repair visit works
- Call or send the form. Tell us what the door is doing. A photo helps if you have one.
- We set a time. In most cases that's the same day.
- Inspection and estimate. The technician finds the cause and explains your options before starting.
- Repair and safety check. We test the door's balance, travel and auto-reverse before we leave.

Common questions
Are you open at night and on weekends?
Yes. We take calls 24 hours a day, every day of the week, including holidays. If your door won't close at 11pm, call and we'll tell you honestly how soon we can be there.
How quickly can you get to my house in Newark?
Most Newark calls get a same-day visit, and often we can have someone there within the hour. It depends on the time of day and what's already on the schedule, so we'll give you a realistic arrival time when you call.
Can I still open my garage door with a broken spring?
We'd rather you didn't. The spring is what carries the door's weight. Without it, the opener or your back has to lift the whole door, which can burn out the opener or cause an injury. If you can, leave the door where it is and give us a call.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. Estimates are free, and you'll know what the job involves before any work starts.
Is this the same company as OliveGarageDoors.com?
Yes. This site is for our customers in Newark. The main Olive Garage Doors website covers the rest of the Bay Area and has our full door and opener catalog, plus repair guides.
