Corte Madera questions
Who repairs garage doors in Corte Madera?
Chen Garage Door, open 24 hours, about 8 minutes down 101 from our shop at 1020 B St in San Rafael without traffic. A new opener with battery backup starts from $620, a torsion spring from $225, and the quote visit is free, day or night.
Our street seems to be getting door work all at once. Why?
A third of the town went up in the 1950s, the sharpest single-decade share in the county. When a street is built in one go, its springs, tracks and openers age together, and many of those garages are now on a newer door hung in the original frame.
Will my door open in a power shutoff?
Parts of town sit in the state's highest fire hazard tier, and power can be shut off in fire weather. Every door opens by hand with the manual release cord, and we show you where yours is at any visit. California has required a battery backup on new openers since 2019, and our opener price includes it.
Anything different about Christmas Tree Hill?
The lanes are narrow and some garages were fitted to the slope, so we ask for your street when you book and plan where the van stands. Mariner Cove and the flats are quick to reach and standard to fit.
