Most garage door issues in San Francisco are repairable. Replacement becomes the practical route when door sections are heavily damaged, the door is the wrong size for the opening, or the system has multiple major failures at once.
Repairs are common when the problem is isolated, like these examples.
If you are unsure, that is normal. Many calls start with it was fine yesterday and we can work from there.
San Francisco buildings put garage doors through a lot. Steep driveways, tight garages, salt air, and daily cycling all add up across California.

If you are stuck, Palms Garage Doors can help and get you back to a normal day with service that fits SF conditions.
Broken springs are one of the most common calls for garage door repair in San Francisco. Signs can include a loud snap, a door that feels extremely heavy, an opener that strains or stops, a door that lifts a few inches then reverses, or a visible gap in a torsion spring above the door.
Spring work is not a DIY job. The parts are under high tension and a wrong move can turn a simple repair into a bad afternoon.

A crooked door usually points to a cable or track issue. In SF a common scenario is a light bump on a steep driveway and the door works for a while, then starts binding.
If the door is crooked, do not keep cycling it. That can pull the door off track or damage the opener rail.
If your garage door closes and then immediately reverses, it is usually responding to resistance or a safety sensor interruption.
We troubleshoot step by step instead of randomly adjusting hardware.
