Santos & Sons Garage Door works out of 2081 Center St in downtown Berkeley, 10 to 15 minutes from most Berkeley addresses. We fix broken springs, cables, and openers, handle annual maintenance, and install new doors across the East Bay. You get the diagnosis and the exact price before any work starts. And if a repair isn't worth doing, we'll tell you straight.
Call (650) 750-7029 for a free estimate, or book online below.
We install parts we'd put on our own doors, and every job carries a warranty on parts and labor. If something isn't right after we leave, call us and we'll come back.

★★★★★“I called Santos & Sons and they had a technician at our house within 45 minutes. He replaced both springs, tested everything thoroughly, and the price was exactly what they quoted on the phone.”
★★★★★“The technician took the time to show me what was wrong and explain what he was doing. No upselling, no pressure, just good honest work. Will definitely call them again.”
★★★★★“Called Santos & Sons and they actually answered late in the evening. The technician arrived in about an hour, got the door back on track, and replaced a damaged roller.”
Parts That Last
We install and service LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Stanley, and C.H.I. Overhead Doors equipment. Cheap hardware fails early. We'd rather put in a part that outlives its warranty than come back in two years to replace it again.
Every job in Berkeley and the East Bay comes with the same basics: a price you approve before we start, a warranty on parts and labor, and a tech who knows the area.
Parts and labor are both covered. If something isn't right after the job, we come back and fix it at no charge.
Urgent East Bay calls get a 60-minute arrival window. From our Center St shop, most of Berkeley is a 10 to 15 minute drive.
Our techs live and work in Berkeley and the East Bay. They know the narrow single-car garages on the older Craftsman homes here, and they carry the parts those doors need.
No commissioned salespeople. You get a straight answer on whether a part actually needs replacing, and a fair price when it does.
We stock high-cycle torsion springs rated for 25,000 to 50,000 cycles, against roughly 10,000 for a standard spring. You pay more once and replace them far less often.

Open 8 AM to 8 PM, seven days a week, with 60-minute arrival windows across the East Bay.
Santos & Sons Garage Door is based in downtown Berkeley and serves homeowners throughout the East Bay and greater Bay Area. From our shop at 2081 Center St, most Berkeley addresses are a 10 to 15 minute drive, and East Bay calls get a 60-minute arrival window. We serve Berkeley, Oakland, Albany, Emeryville, Alameda, Richmond, El Cerrito, San Leandro, Piedmont, Hayward, and Walnut Creek. After years of serving the Peninsula, we also continue to take care of customers in San Francisco and San Mateo County.
Garage door repair in Berkeley typically costs between $150 and $500 depending on the issue. Spring replacement averages $200 to $400 per spring, while opener repair ranges from $150 to $350. Santos & Sons provides free estimates so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
About 45 minutes to an hour and a half for most doors. Torsion setups take longer than extension springs. Santos & Sons trucks carry the common spring sizes, so nearly every spring call in Berkeley finishes the same day.
A broken spring is the most common cause. Pull the red release cord and lift the door by hand: if it feels like dead weight, a spring has snapped. Other usual culprits are a failed opener, blocked safety sensors, or a dead remote battery.
Yes. Both springs have the same mileage, so when one breaks the other is close behind. Doing the pair in one visit saves you a second service call and keeps the tension even, so the door lifts straight.
No. A wound torsion spring stores enough force to break bones, and it lets go without warning. Spring work takes winding bars and real training to do safely. It's the one garage door job we tell everyone to leave to a pro.
Once a year. A yearly tune-up covers lubrication, a spring and cable check, hardware tightening, and a safety-reversal test. Doors that get that annual half hour of attention routinely last 5 to 10 years longer than doors that don't.
Yes. The Remodeling 2024 Cost vs. Value Report puts garage door replacement at about a 194% return, the highest of any project it tracks. It's also the first thing a buyer sees from the curb.
Yes, Santos & Sons provides emergency garage door repair from 8 AM to 8 PM, seven days a week, throughout Berkeley, the East Bay, and the greater Bay Area. Our technicians aim to arrive within 60 minutes of your call. An emergency visit at 7 PM costs the same as a scheduled one at 10 AM.
Open 8 AM to 8 PM, Seven Days a Week. Same rate at 7 PM as at 10 AM.
