Garage door installation in Hollywood usually runs $700 to $2,200 for a full door, with springs, openers, and panels priced separately. We’re Preston Garage Door Repair, and we’ve served Hollywood since 2018. Most of our work here happens behind 1920s and 1930s Spanish bungalows or under small stucco apartment buildings, where garages sit on alley-fed lots with barely enough room to swing a door open, let alone install a new one. Call (833) 573-5280 for a free estimate on any job, from a spring to a full replacement.
Why Hollywood Homes Are Different
Hollywood’s housing stock was largely built before 1940, and the garages that came with those homes were designed for cars a foot narrower than anything on the road today. The 90028 ZIP is dense with Spanish Colonial and Craftsman bungalows on narrow lots, many with detached single-car garages sharing alley access. The original doors are frequently wood or early steel, and decades of heat and shifting stucco walls leave them warped, sagging, or binding against the frame. When concrete aprons settle, the track shifts with them.
The climate does its own work. South- and west-facing doors bake in the dry Hollywood sun, which cracks wood finishes and warps steel panels. Come winter, the rains swell wood doors and rust tracks and hinges. Our technicians know to check for both conditions before quoting a repair, because a door that sticks in July may jam completely by January. Alley-fed garages off the numbered streets also mean we’re often working with a vehicle parked in the alley, a few feet of clearance, and no room to stage parts. That changes the order of operations on a full installation, and it’s why we carry compact lifting equipment on every Hollywood job.

Our Main Hollywood Services
Hollywood homeowners call us most for two things: a garage door that won’t open or close properly, and an opener that’s stopped responding. Both are covered in depth below.
Garage Door Repair in Hollywood
A garage door repair in Hollywood often starts with a diagnostic trip down an alley to reach a door that hasn’t been serviced in a decade. We handle broken springs, snapped cables, off-track doors, and panels that have warped or been hit. The goal is always repair before replace, because many original 1920s wood doors in Hollywood can be restored to match the bungalow rather than torn out for modern steel. We carry springs, cables, rollers, and panels for doors from Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, Raynor, and four other major brands. Read the full breakdown at Garage Door Repair in Hollywood.
Garage Door Opener Repair in Hollywood
Opener failures in Hollywood fall into two camps: legacy Craftsman and Genie units that have run for 20 years and finally given out, and newer LiftMaster and Chamberlain smart openers that have lost sensor alignment or WiFi connection. We diagnose both without pushing a replacement unless the motor is truly done. We fix safety sensors, remotes, keypads, gears, and logic boards, and we always quote the price before any work starts. For the complete opener repair scope, see Garage Door Opener Repair in Hollywood.
Garage Door Installation in Hollywood
Garage door installation in Hollywood means matching a new door to a stucco-and-red-tile facade or restoring an original wood door that’s warped beyond repair. The 90028 ZIP is full of 1920s and 1930s bungalows, and many homeowners want a door that looks like it belongs to the house rather than a generic steel slab. We measure everything on site, quote a written price, and never start until the number is agreed. Full details live on our Garage Door Installation hub.
Garage Door Replacement
Signs you need it
The door is warped or rusted to the point that panels bind, the frame is bent from a vehicle hit, or the cost of repeated repairs now exceeds half the price of a new door.
What it costs in Hollywood
A full garage door replacement in Hollywood typically runs $700 to $2,200 depending on size, material, and whether the old track and hardware can be reused.
How we do it
We measure the opening, remove the old door and hardware, inspect and realign the track, mount the new panels, balance the springs, and test the full cycle before leaving.
Garage Door Installation Service
Signs you need it
You’re building a new garage, converting a carport, or the existing door is beyond economical repair and you need a clean, warrantied install.
What it costs in Hollywood
New garage door installation in Hollywood runs $700 to $2,200, with the final number set by door style, insulation level, and track configuration.
How we do it
We schedule a free site measure, confirm dimensions and obstructions like low ceilings or alley clearances, order the door, and return to install it in one visit.
Commercial Garage Door Installation
Signs you need it
You manage a Hollywood apartment building or storefront with rolling or sectional doors that no longer stay on track or meet fire code.
What it costs in Hollywood
Commercial garage door installation in Hollywood follows the same $700 to $2,200 range for standard sectional doors, with larger or custom rolling doors quoted by site measure.
How we do it
We inspect the opening and usage frequency, recommend a door rated for the cycle count, and install with heavier hinges and reinforced track.
Garage Door Seal Installation
Signs you need it
You see daylight, water, or rodent droppings under the door, or the old rubber bottom seal has cracked and flattened.
What it costs in Hollywood
Garage door seal installation in Hollywood is included in most full installs, and as a standalone job it runs $120 to $240 with labor.
How we do it
We pull the old seal, clean the retainer channel, cut the new seal to exact length, and re-seat it so the door closes flush against the concrete.
What Garage Door Installation Costs in Hollywood

|---|---|
| New Door Installation | $700 – $2,200 |
| Panel Replacement | $250 – $500 |
| Track Realignment | $120 – $240 |
How long does a garage door install take in Hollywood?
A standard single or double door install takes one day. Tight alley access, an older frame, or a door that needs custom sizing can push it to two. We quote the timeline before we order anything.
Can you match a new door to an old Hollywood bungalow?
Yes. We regularly install wood-look steel and custom wood doors that blend with 1920s Spanish and Craftsman facades. Call (833) 573-5280 and we’ll bring samples to your site measure.
Brands We Service in Hollywood

What Hollywood Customers Say
"Good repair, reasonable money. The door still has a slight shudder about a foot from the top that he said is the track being slightly out of true on an old frame and would cost real money to fix properly. Fair enough, but I'd hoped it would be perfect."
- Jeff Pruitt"Both cables had come off the drum and the door was hanging crooked. I'd watched a video and was about ten minutes from trying it myself, which the tech told me would have been a genuinely bad idea. Glad I called."
- Maria Mendoza"Track was bent and two of the rollers were shot. He straightened what he could, swapped the rollers for nylon ones, lubricated everything, and had it done in about an hour."
- Gabriela Castillo
