What we do

Doors, springs and openers, on houses and on shops

New track, springs sized to your door and programming the opener are in every door we quote. We do not leave the old sections leaning against your garage.

Most popular

Insulated steel doors

Two-layer or three-layer steel with a polyurethane core. Quieter on the track, and worth it on an attached garage in a Maryland August.

Curb appeal

Carriage house doors

The look of a swing-out barn door on a sectional that still rolls up. Overlay stiles and rails, with or without glass in the top course.

Modern

Full-view aluminum and glass

Anodized frames with frosted, tinted or clear glass. Common on a shop front, and increasingly on a garage somebody actually lives in.

Same day where we can

Springs and cables

One loud bang and the door will not lift: that is a torsion spring. We carry the common sizes and we replace them in pairs.

Priced with the door or on its own

Openers

Chain drive where nobody sleeps above the garage, belt drive where they do, and a belt with a camera and phone control if you want it.

Site visit

Commercial and custom door work

Rolling steel on a loading dock, a parking-garage gate, a barn opening, a door wider than sixteen feet. We come and measure before we quote.

How we price

A number before the truck, not after it

The form at the top of this page uses our real rates. It shows a range rather than a single number because the headroom, the side room and the state of the framing are things we can only see standing in your garage.

Tell us about the doors

How many, how wide, what they are made of, whether the opener stays, and whether headroom is tight. The same questions we ask on the phone, answered in a minute.

See the range

Midpoint plus or minus 9%. Jobs under our $1,750 minimum quote at the minimum. Very large jobs get a site visit instead of a number.

We measure and confirm

Free measure, exact price, written warranty. Travel is priced from your ZIP. The price does not change with the month — a spring snaps in July too.

Service area

Based in Laurel. We say what the trip costs before we make it.

Your ZIP code sets the travel line on your estimate. No surprises on the invoice, and no free forty-minute drives with a door on the trailer that get built into everyone else’s price.

Notes for anyone evaluating the demo
  • Priced path. Pick Garage door replacement, then: 2 doors, double (12 to 16 ft), insulated steel, belt drive, windows or hardware No, take the old door away Yes, headroom tight No. Use ZIP 20707. The live pricing engine returns $5,374 – $6,437 with the disclaimer, and the lead lands in the demo account’s inbox. Two doors at $1,650 plus the $900 size step, the $625 opener and the $180 haul-away make $5,005; the one percentage answer, insulated steel at +18%, applies once to all of it.
  • What the engine does and does not do here. Only the door count multiplies. The size step, the opener and the decorative hardware are flat adders, and the engine adds a flat adder once per job rather than once per door — so two wide doors carry one size step. The questions say so in their own help text rather than implying otherwise, and the visit is where a second wide door is trued up.
  • Access is labour, not material. Repeat the priced path with headroom tight Yes: $5,921 – $7,092. That answer is a percentage, so it pools with the material percentage (+18 and +12 = +30%) and the two apply together, once.
  • Travel zone. Repeat the priced path with ZIP 20852 (Rockville) for the outer-ring fee: $5,434 – $6,508. Any ZIP outside the listed prefixes, whether 22201 (Arlington, VA) or 75001 (Texas), falls to the catch-all zone: $5,752 – $6,890, the percentage first and then the flat fee.
  • Out of area. Use ZIP 99901. The visitor gets a polite decline instead of a price, and the lead is still captured.
  • Over the ceiling. Enter 3 doors, oversize, full-view aluminum and glass, the belt drive with camera, windows Yes, haul-away Yes. The midpoint works out at $15,281, clearing the service’s $14,000 ceiling, so the widget routes to “we’ll take a proper look” rather than printing a number.
  • Minimum floor. 1 door, single, steel with no insulation, keep the opener, no windows, no haul-away, headroom fine, ZIP 20707: the job works out at $1,650, under the $1,750 minimum, and quotes at $1,750 – $1,908. Note the low end of the band is the floor itself, not 9% below it.
  • The second instant service, and the one with a real trip charge. Pick Spring, cable and opener repair: one loud bang and it will not lift, 1 door, double, not off its track, keep the opener, next opening. $449 – $549, and the $89 trip charge is inside that number rather than added at the door — it is the service’s base fee, so it is added once however many doors we look at. Answer “today, a car is shut in” instead and the emergency percentage takes it to $606 – $741.
  • A rule that raises the floor. On the same service, answer Yes to the bent-panel question on a single door: the job itself is $424, but the rule lifts the minimum to $650 and the quote comes back $650 – $715. The cheapest answer set possible — a dead opener, one single door, nothing else — works out at $184 and floors at the service minimum: $225 – $248.
  • Routing mode. Pick Commercial and custom door work. That service is in site-visit mode, so it never shows a price at all; the visitor sees “we like to see it first”. Its “how many openings” question is a number with no rule attached, which the widget still validates and still records.
  • The photo question carries no rule. Photos never move the price — the engine skips them entirely. Nothing is uploaded either: on a demo the visitor can tick “I have photos I can send” and the lead records “Has photos to send, not uploaded”, which is the owner’s cue to ask for pictures on the call. Attaching the image itself is on the roadmap.
  • No season, deliberately. Nothing on this account carries a seasonal adjustment, because the trade does not have one: a spring snaps in July as readily as in January, and the freeze that finishes off a tired spring is a reason people call rather than a reason to charge them more. Every figure above is therefore the same figure in any month.
  • The missed-call text-back. The CallMitt page replays which of five messages a missed caller would get and why. Straight about where it stands: nothing on this platform delivers a text message yet, because there is no SMS gateway and no carrier registration, so the reply becomes an outbox row marked queued and stops there. The rules, the hours, the quiet hours and the opt-out handling are built and running.
  • The widget’s steel blue matches this site because the account’s key carries a theme color; the same script on an agency’s client site would carry the agency’s color.
