Arvada Garage Door Pros repairs and replaces garage doors on homes built 1938 to 2010 across Arvada, CO, Wheat Ridge, Applewood, and nearby neighborhoods.
Most of our calls come from houses that went up in the 1960s and 70s, which is the bulk of the stock across the 38 named areas we work in, from Cameo Estates and Ralston Valley right by us out to Northwest Arvada and Olde Town Arvada. Arvada's housing runs from 1938 to 2010 with a median build year of 1977, so a good share of what we touch is original equipment - one-piece doors on side-mounted torsion hardware, openers with chain drives from an era before anyone worried about a smartphone app. That mix means broken torsion springs, worn rollers, and cables that have finally given out after decades of the same door going up and down. The cold-severe climate here doesn't help old hardware. Winter cold snaps stiffen springs and seals that were already tired, and a spring that's been fine all fall can snap the first hard freeze it sees. We also get plenty of calls on newer builds in areas like Applewood Villages and West Central Westminster, where the problem is usually a sensor knocked out of alignment or a track that's gone out of square. Whatever the door, we look at the hardware in front of us, not a script.
When you call (720) 738-8087, you talk about the door, what it's doing or not doing, and whether it's stuck open, stuck shut, or making a noise that worries you. We work out of 9950 W 80th Ave here in Arvada, and that's where the truck runs from. On site, the first look is at the spring and cable tension, the track alignment, and the opener's force settings - most garage door problems trace back to one of those three things. If a part is original to a house built decades ago, we tell you straight whether it's still made or whether we're matching it as closely as the current market allows. Not every part for a 1970s door is sitting on a shelf; sometimes we have to source something close and explain the trade-off before we install it. We give you the actual finding before we touch anything, and a price for the fix before we start the fix, not after. If the smarter move is a new door rather than another patch on an old one, we say so and explain why, rather than running up a bill on hardware that's on its way out anyway.

Yes - that's the bulk of the housing stock across Arvada and the surrounding named areas, and it's the bulk of our calls too. Original torsion hardware from that era is common, and while some parts are getting harder to source new, we can usually match close enough to get the door running safely and reliably again.
We work Arvada itself and out to nearby areas including Wheat Ridge, Applewood, Berkley, Northwest Arvada, Olde Town Arvada, and the other named neighborhoods in our service area. Call (720) 738-8087 and tell us where you are - we'll tell you straight if it's outside our range.
Arvada sits in a climate band that runs cold and severe in winter. Torsion springs that were already worn get stiffer in a hard freeze, and the added strain is often what finally snaps a spring that had been holding on through fall. It's one of the most common calls we get once temperatures drop.
Depends on the door. If the track and frame are sound and it's a spring, cable, or roller issue, repair usually makes sense. If the door is original to a house built decades ago and multiple parts are failing at once, we'll tell you when replacement is the better spend rather than stacking repairs on a door near the end of its life.
Tell us what it’s doing and where you are in Arvada - we’ll take it from there.
