Foley Garage Door Pros works on garage doors, full stop. Springs, openers, tracks, rollers, cables, and the panels themselves - that's the job, and it's the whole job. We don't do siding, we don't do gutters, and we're not going to sell you a whole-home security package while we're under your door.
Most of the houses we go into around Foley were built between 1993 and 2002, with the median build year landing at 1997. That means a lot of the doors we open up are original to the house or one replacement in, with openers from the same era starting to show their age - chain drives that have gone loud, logic boards that stick, safety sensors that were an afterthought when they were installed. Across the wider area, the stock skews 1980s and 90s over seven named neighborhoods, which is a narrow enough band that we see the same handful of door and opener models over and over. That's useful. It means when we pull up, we usually already know what we're looking at before the truck's in park.
We're at 1501 Owa Blvd, Foley, AL 36535, and you can reach us at (251) 420-6382.
You call, you tell us what the door's doing - won't open, opens and stops, makes a bang and quits, opener runs but nothing moves - and we go from there. A lot of the calls we get are springs that let go on doors that are twenty-plus years old, which lines up with that 1993-2002 build window: the springs installed when the house went up are past due, and when they go, they go without much warning.
On site, we look at the whole system, not just the part that failed. A dead spring on an old door often means the cable, drum, and rollers are due too, and telling you that up front beats coming back in six months for the next piece. If the fix is straightforward, we do it that day. If parts need to be ordered - some opener boards and certain panel styles aren't something we carry on the truck - we'll tell you that plainly instead of guessing at a timeline we can't back up.
We're based in Foley and that's our center of gravity. From there we run out to Elberta, about 4 miles off, and Summerdale, around 6 miles out - both close enough that we're there within the same visit window as a Foley call. Orange Beach is about 8 miles out, Robertsdale about 11, and we get out to Silverhill, roughly 12 miles away, and Lillian, about 15, on a regular basis too. Point Clear, at 16 miles, is the far edge of where we go, and we still take those calls.
The climate here is mild with the occasional freeze, which matters more for garage doors than people expect. It's not the cold that wears out hardware around here so much as humidity and salt air doing slow work on springs, hinges, and track hardware over the years - a different failure pattern than what you'd see somewhere with hard winters, and part of why we don't assume a part is fine just because it hasn't snapped yet.
Spring replacement, cable and drum work, roller and hinge swaps, track alignment, opener repair and replacement, and panel replacement on doors where the section is damaged but the rest of the door is sound. That's the bulk of it.
What we don't do: full custom door fabrication, and we're honest when a door has racked or rusted enough that a repair would just be throwing a new part at an old problem. On a lot of the 1990s-built houses in this area, once a door's original opener and springs are both failing at once, replacing the opener alongside the spring job usually costs less over time than nursing the old unit along call by call - we'll say so if that's what we're looking at, even though the smaller repair is the easier sale in the moment.
If your door is doing something we haven't seen, we'll still come look. But we'd rather tell you a job isn't worth doing than run up a bill on a door that's better off replaced.
Yes. We regularly cover Elberta, Summerdale, Orange Beach, Robertsdale, Silverhill, and Lillian, and we'll take calls as far out as Point Clear. Call (251) 420-6382 and tell us where you are - we can generally tell you the same day whether we can get to you.
A lot of the doors in this area are original to houses built in the 1990s, and torsion springs have a rated cycle life, not an indefinite one. Once a spring's near the end of that life, humidity and salt air in this climate can speed up the wear on the coil and the hardware around it.
No, not everything. Some opener circuit boards and certain panel styles need to be ordered rather than pulled off the truck. If that's the case for your job, we'll tell you before we start so you're not guessing at a timeline.
Sometimes, sometimes not. If the track, drum, and cables are still sound and it's just the spring or opener, repair usually makes sense. If the door's racked or the opener and springs are both going at once, we'll tell you honestly when replacement is the better spend.
