Garage Door Professionals Familiar With Older Homes, Tight Driveways, & Central Austin Weather

There were no three-car garages or cul-de-sacs when Zilker was built. Then a single-car detached garage out back was considered sufficient storage, and street parking was the norm. 1940s and 50s bungalows now rest on million-dollar-plus lots where their garages had better keep up. Cramped driveways barely fitting between century-old live oaks. Detached garages sporting original framing that has been cooking in the Central Texas sun for seventy years. Doors that stick, sag, or won't seal at all because the whole slab heaved two inches last year during the drought. That is the hardware we have been repairing since 2014. Our technicians collectively have over ten years of hands-on garage door experience, and we have worked on every style of door this neighborhood has to offer. So when your garage door decides to jam on Monday morning, and you need to take your kid to Zilker Elementary, we don't make you take off work for next Thursday. We come out and fix it that day. Same-day service is our standard across Travis County.

I can't tell you how happy I was with the service. First of all I got to talk to an actual person when I called not some out of state company that just send handymen and take a huge cut.The person who answered the phone is who showed up at my house. I found the pricing to be very reasonable especially on a Saturday. My only car was stuck in the garage because of a broken spring. He gave me a great deal on a two springs instead of the just one I had installed. He installed great Nylon rollers with bearings and lubricated everything. He gave me a lifetime warranty on all the parts. I just have to pay labor if they fail at any time.I was quoted over $350 just to come out on a Saturday by another company at the top of the google search. That did not include any parts or labor charges nor would it be rolled into the repair cost. Also, It was nothing but AI answering the phone. I hate AI and I don't know a single person who prefers it to talking to a real person. I now have my go to garage door company. I highly reccommend them for sure.

Garage Door Replacement Services Near Zilker Austin TX

Even on a weathered garage or converted carriage house, the garage door is one of the first things people see from the street. On Zilker's tighter lots, it can literally account for half of your home's street-side facade. That makes the door more of a design choice than just a simple afterthought. But when you consider how hot and humid Austin summers can be with an uninsulated garage, that design decision can put serious dollars into your air conditioning bill every month.

Two Brothers walks you through panel styles, insulation values, window inserts, hardware finishes, and color options. And we will be straight up with you about what upgrades actually improve your experience given your specific circumstances versus what is just markup. Have deed restrictions or a historic overlay preventing certain exterior changes? We will let you know before you spend hours pouring over door styles online that you can't actually get approved for. Give us the thumbs up, and we take care of the rest. Removal, haul-away, weatherstripping, tracks, springs, motor, and complete professional installation.

Garage Door Repair Near Zilker TX

Old houses have old problems. Garage doors that stick and moan trying to close. Doors that come down crooked because the frame has shifted after years of weather. Snapped cables that now hang loose against the rollers. If there is a creative way for a garage door in Travis County to break, odds are good that Two Brothers Garage Doors has seen it and fixed it.

Curious if we can help with your faulty garage door? Drop us a line. There's no such thing as a dumb question when it comes to garage doors. We will properly diagnose the root issue before discussing price. Too many garage door companies start with "Well, we can replace that part for you…" and blindly throw parts at the problem. You end up paying to fix the same issue twice.

We don't work that way. You get a straight answer the first time you contact us.

Garage Door Service FAQs

How long should a garage door tune-up take?

Unless we're inspecting your opener too, about half an hour. Garage door maintenance shouldn't take more than an hour of your day. We suggest servicing your door twice each year since it does pay to stay ahead of worn hardware.

Why did my garage door come off its track?

Often, a door derails if it was pulled unevenly, caught on an obstruction, or if the building's foundation has shifted, a common issue with older Austin homes. If your door comes off its track, give us a call. Trying to force it back down on your own can bend the whole track.

Do garage doors need maintenance every year?

While your door might run fine for a while without it, annual maintenance prevents sudden breakdowns and extends the lifespan of your springs, cables, and rollers, much like changing the oil in your car. It's not going to conk out if you skip a year, but it won't last quite as long either.

My garage door won't open, what do I do?

As little as possible. Call us. First, take a quick look to confirm nothing is blocking the optical safety sensors near the floor. If the path is clear and the door still won't budge, avoid forcing it and give us a call. If your garage door won't open at all, there's likely something mechanical preventing it from moving. We can diagnose the problem over the phone and send someone to give you a free estimate.

Repair or replace my garage door?

The simple answer is if it still functions properly and you need a single panel replaced, fix it. Cosmetic damage is another story, as is multiple repairs in one year or if the repair cost is getting too high. If your estimates reach half or more of what a new door would cost, it's time to upgrade.

Can I choose any style/color garage door I want?

Sort of. If you live on a street with deed restrictions or are governed by a historic homeowners association, you may be limited in your options. Save yourself the frustration of picking out a cool door, placing the order… only to find out you can't get it approved. Call First. We keep a few door manufacturers' catalogs in stock and can help you pick something that suits both the home and any restrictions.
