Garage door installation in Burbank usually runs $700 – $2,200 for a complete new door, while repairs on existing doors typically land between $150 and $600 depending on what failed. Most Burbank homes we work on were built in the 1940s and 1950s, which means original single-car wood doors, 8- to 9-foot openings, and detached garages facing rear alleys. Those conditions make correct measurement and custom sizing the difference between a door that seals properly and one that binds within a year. If you’re dealing with a door that won’t lift, a spring that snapped, or an opener that quit responding, call (877) 705-2052 and we’ll get it straightened out.
Why Burbank Homes Are Different
Burbank’s postwar tract homes in the flats were built fast and built to a different standard than modern construction. The detached garages face rear alleys, which means every door sits exposed to alley dust kicked up by trash trucks, yard-waste bins, and constant delivery vans. That dust works into tracks, rollers, and hinges, accelerating wear on parts that would last longer on a front-facing garage. We also see a high share of original single-car wood doors throughout Magnolia Park, Rancho, and the streets north of Glenoaks. These aren’t the standard 16-foot double doors you can pull off a shelf. They’re custom-cut, decades old, and often swollen or dried out from the San Fernando Valley climate.
Burbank’s summers hit triple digits, and the Santa Ana winds strip moisture from wood doors and fade south- and west-facing panels fast. Winter rains then do the opposite: wood swells, panels bind against the jambs, and steel tracks rust where they meet the slab. In Magnolia Park especially, the alley-side slabs have cracked or heaved from decades of tree-root growth and seismic settling. A door that closes fine at 8 a.m. can bind by 3 p.m. because the slab moved in the heat. We check slab level and track plumb before we blame the opener. That’s not something every company does, but in Burbank it’s the only way to fix the actual problem instead of the symptom.
Hillside homes up against the Verdugos present a different set of issues. Those garages often have newer, oversized custom doors, but the driveways are steep and the doors catch more wind. Bottom seals wear faster, and cable tension matters more when a door has to hold square against a grade. The ZIP codes we cover across Burbank are 91505, 91506, 91507, and 91508.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Burbank Services
Two problems dominate the calls we get from Burbank homeowners: broken doors and dead openers. Here’s what each one looks like here, and where to go for the full breakdown.
Garage Door Repair in Burbank
Broken springs, snapped cables, and doors off track are routine in Burbank, and the alley-facing garages here make them slightly more likely. Dust and heat shorten spring life, and the older single-car wood doors throughout the Rancho and Magnolia Park neighborhoods stress hardware that was installed decades ago. We repair what’s broken, on the brand you already own, without pushing a full replacement. Garage Door Repair in Burbank covers every major brand and every common failure, with same-day dispatch across the city.
Garage Door Opener Repair in Burbank
Openers in Burbank garages run harder than most because the heat in enclosed alley-side garages cooks circuit boards and dries out drive gears. We see a lot of Genie and Craftsman units from the 1990s and 2000s that still have life in them but need a gear, a capacitor, or a sensor pair replaced. Opener or door, one call handles either. Garage Door Opener Repair in Burbank is the full resource for diagnostics, repair pricing, and what to expect when the motor runs but the door doesn’t move.

Garage Door Installation in Burbank
Garage door installation in Burbank starts with measurement, not with a brochure. The 1940s and 1950s tract homes here were built with 8- to 9-foot single-door openings, and many still have the original wood doors in place. A standard 16-foot double door won’t fit those openings, so every installation quote starts with a physical measure of the actual slab and track, not a guess from the curb. Our installation team handles residential replacements, full door system installs for remodels, and light commercial doors around the studios and warehouse districts. When you’re ready to price a new door or replace a failing one, our Garage Door Installation page walks through every option we offer.
Burbank’s climate drives most of the replacement work we do. South- and west-facing doors get hammered by sun from May through October, and Santa Ana winds strip paint and dry out wood until panels split. Winter rain then swells what’s left. For many homeowners, a new steel or composite door with a proper bottom seal is the end of an annual maintenance battle. We install what fits the opening and the house, whether that’s a Clopay steel door on a 1952 ranch in the flats or a custom Amarr door on a newer hillside build.
Garage Door Replacement
Signs you need it
Panels are cracked, rotted, or separated at the stiles, or the door sags visibly when lifted halfway and won’t sit level on the slab in your Burbank garage.
What it costs in Burbank
Complete garage door replacement in Burbank runs $700 – $2,200 depending on size, material, insulation, and whether the old track and hardware can be reused.
How we do it
We measure the opening, check slab level and track plumb, remove the old door and hardware, then install the new door with fresh rollers, cables, and a final balance and limit adjustment.
Garage Door Seal Installation
Signs you need it
You can see daylight or feel a draft under the door, or the old rubber bottom seal is cracked, flattened, or missing chunks after years of Burbank heat and alley dust.
What it costs in Burbank
A new bottom seal or perimeter weatherstripping on a typical Burbank garage door falls within our standard service call pricing, generally in the $150 – $600 repair range for most door work.
How we do it
We pull the old seal, clean the retainer channel, cut and seat a new seal to the exact door width, and test the door’s seal against the slab for daylight leaks.
Garage Door Installation Contractors
Signs you need it
You’re building new, converting a carport, or replacing a door on an older Burbank home where slab settling means the opening is no longer square and custom shimming and track mounting are required.
What it costs in Burbank
Working with a professional installation contractor for a complete Burbank install ranges $700 – $2,200 for the door and labor, with custom-opening work at the higher end of that range.
How we do it
We handle the full job: measure, order, remove, install, seal, and balance, then run the opener through a full cycle test so the door leaves our hands operating smoothly.
What Garage Door Installation Costs in Burbank
| Item | Typical range in Burbank |
|---|---|
| New door installation | $700 – $2,200 |
| Opener installation | $250 – $550 |
| Panel replacement | $250 – $500 |
What pushes a Burbank installation toward the higher end: custom opening sizes on the older single-car garages, heavier insulation for south-facing doors, and any slab or track realignment the settle-prone alley garages need. We quote the full price before any work starts, and that price doesn’t change once we’re on site.
How long does a garage door installation take in Burbank?
A standard single-door replacement takes most of a morning; a full custom job on a settled slab can run a full day. We confirm the timeline at the time of the quote so you can plan around it.
Can you install a new door on my old 1950s detached garage?
Yes. We work on the existing opening rather than forcing a standard-size door into it. That means custom sizing, shim work, and track mounting built to handle Burbank’s slab movement.
Brands We Service in Burbank
We work on Genie, Clopay, Amarr, and Wayne Dalton equipment, among others, and we stock common replacement parts for those brands locally in our service vehicles. Our brands page lists the full range. For Burbank homeowners, that means no waiting a week for a special-order part when a common spring, board, or gear set fails.

FAQs About Garage Door Company in Burbank
Yes. Most of the Burbank homes we work on are detached garages facing rear alleys. We’re used to working with alley access, tight clearances, and trash-truck traffic. You won’t need to move the car or clear the driveway for us; we work from the alley side.
In most cases, a direct door replacement on an existing opening does not need a permit. New construction, structural changes to the opening, or converting a carport all may. We’ll tell you which applies to your specific job at the estimate.
For repair calls, we typically dispatch to Burbank within one to two hours. Installation and replacement work is scheduled after a measure and quote, which we set up to fit your day. Call (877) 705-2052 and we’ll put you on the schedule.

— Amanda Ziegler"Door installed in about four hours, old one hauled away, and he stayed to program both cars and the wall panel before he left."
— Bethany Bennett"Opener works, remotes are programmed, no complaints on the work. Took three days to get on the schedule though, so if you've got a car trapped inside, say so when you call."
