Mill Valley questions
Who fixes garage doors in Mill Valley?
Chen Garage Door covers Mill Valley and every 94941 address, city or county, from 1020 B St in San Rafael, about 14 minutes down 101 without traffic. We are open 24 hours, a tune-up is $79 and a replaced section starts from $340. The quote visit is free.
Do you cover Strawberry, Tam Valley and Homestead Valley?
Yes. Strawberry shares the 94941 ZIP and is unincorporated county, like Tam Valley, Homestead Valley, Almonte and Alto. They are all on the same price list as the city.
Why does my door bind on one side?
On an older Mill Valley house it is often the frame. More than a quarter of the housing predates 1940, and a frame that has had a hundred years to move goes out of square. We put a level on the opening before recommending anything.
Can your van reach the canyon streets?
Yes. City planning documents describe slopes over forty percent and a street plan from before cars, so we ask for your street and nearest cross street when you book and plan where the van can stand.
Should I seal my garage door for fire season?
Parts of Mill Valley are in the state's highest fire hazard zones. California's wildland code for new homes caps the gap around a garage door at an eighth of an inch, and Fire Safe Marin recommends the same seal on existing homes. The seal that keeps embers out keeps winter rain out too.
