What We Do Not Take On

Most houses in this part of McLean went up between 1940 and 2015, with the bulk from the 1960s and 70s, which is the housing stock we see most often. That's what our parts truck is built around - torsion springs, rollers, and opener models that match a door installed sometime in that window. We don't stock hardware for pre-1940 wood carriage doors, and if your garage still has the original spring system from a house built before the war, we'll tell you straight that finding parts could take longer than you want.

We also don't take on new construction installs tied to a larger build, and we don't do fences, sheds, or gates - doors and openers only. Winters here fall into the cold-severe band, which means weatherstripping and insulated panels aren't optional extras, but we won't sell you a full insulated replacement if a seal kit and a new bottom astragal will do the job. If a repair is going to cost more than half of a new door, we'll say so instead of patching something that's going to fail again in six months.

After You Call

Call (571) 517-9464 and you'll talk to someone who can look at your address and tell you roughly what the job involves before anyone gets in a truck. Our shop is at 1313 Dolley Madison Blvd, about two miles from Tysons and Pimmit Hills, and we run jobs out from there across the surrounding area - Idylwood, Dunn Loring, and Falls Church at four miles, Wolf Trap and West Falls Church at five, out past Oakton and Mantua, and as far as Fort Belvoir, sixteen miles down the road.

We ask for the make of your opener if you know it, whether the door is one panel or sectional, and whether it's stuck open or stuck shut - that changes what goes on the truck. Across the service area there are 267,392 households and 95,421 owner-occupied houses, and median income runs $143,796, which is useful to us mainly because it tells us what era and grade of door we're likely to find when we pull into the driveway. We don't quote a price over the phone sight unseen; we confirm it once someone has eyes on the door.

Plain Answers

If you're not sure whether your problem is worth a call, describe it when you phone - a door that's noisy but moving is a different job than one that's off its tracks. We work residential doors and openers, not commercial dock doors or rolling steel, so if that's what you have, say so up front and we'll tell you if it's outside what we handle.

We don't list same-day guarantees or response-time promises here because that depends on what's already on the schedule that day - ask when you call and we'll give you a real answer, not a marketing one. If you're outside the towns listed above, call anyway; distance from the shop is one factor among several in whether a job makes sense for us to take.
