Garage Doors, Springs & Openers in Jurupa Valley, CA

The Garages of Jurupa Valley

Expect everything from 1940s cottages and mobile-home lots to semi-rural ranch houses and brand-new tract neighborhoods. Behind the doors we mostly find single-car garages on the oldest streets, detached shops on the horse lots and three-car garages in the recent subdivisions, and that settles which springs, track and opener parts go on the van and how long the visit will run.

The surroundings do their share: river-bottom dust, hard wind on the open ground toward Mira Loma, and summer heat with little relief at night. Reaching the door is a factor as well, with unpaved shoulders and long lots in the rural pockets, and heavy truck traffic on the roads near the warehouses.

New subdivisions are still going up, and a builder's garage door package is chosen for price. Within the first few years we are often called to quieten one of those doors: nylon rollers in place of bare steel, a strut on the top section and a proper spring balance turn a rattling door into one you barely hear from the bedroom above.

On semi-rural lots, the garage and the shop are frequently on a private well-and-septic property with long electrical runs. Before fitting a new opener on a detached building we confirm there is a grounded outlet within reach of the motor, since the manufacturers do not permit a permanent extension cord and neither does the electrical code.
