Terra Linda questions
Who repairs Eichler garage doors in Terra Linda?
Chen Garage Door does, from our shop at 1020 B St, about 6 minutes over Puerto Suello Hill without traffic. We are open 24 hours, a torsion spring starts from $225 and opener repair from $185. The quote visit is free, and you get the price before we start.
What is different about an Eichler garage door?
Joseph Eichler put the garage or carport at the front of the house, under the same low roofline as the living space, so the door is part of the facade. There is less framing margin around the opening than on a standard ranch, and the design is all horizontal lines, so a door that sags or rattles shows from the sidewalk.
Can a new door keep the Eichler look?
Yes. Flat, clean-line sectional doors from mainstream makers suit the architecture. You see the options and prices at the free quote visit.
My door is on its original hardware. What should I check?
Terra Linda was built between 1955 and 1965, so many openings are on their fourth or fifth spring. When one part of an old installation fails, the parts around it are the same age, so we check the cables and bearings while the door is apart and price anything extra before we touch it.
