Who You Are Dealing With
Foley Garage Door Pros works on garage doors for homeowners in and around Foley, Alabama. That's the whole business - no fleet of unrelated home services, no call center reading from a script. When you call the number below, you're talking to someone who works on doors, not someone routing you to a dispatcher three states away.
We don't have a long company history to sell you, and we're not going to invent one. What we can tell you is what we work on and how we figure out what a job costs, which is more useful to you than a story anyway.
Our shop sits at 1501 Owa Blvd in Foley. That matters for one practical reason: it's close enough to most of the houses we quote that a same-day look at your door isn't a stretch, and parts don't have to travel far to get to your driveway.
What Comes Next
When you call 1-251-420-6382 or reach out through the site, tell us three things: what the door is doing (or not doing), the rough age of the house if you know it, and whether it's a single or double door. Most houses in this area went up between 1993 and 2002, with a lot of the surrounding neighborhoods built through the 1980s and 90s - that range tells us a good deal about what hardware is likely behind your panel before we ever see it.
From there we can give you a range over the phone for common jobs: a broken spring, a bad opener, a cable off the drum. What we can't do is give you a firm number sight unseen for anything involving spring sizing, track alignment, or panel replacement. Spring weight depends on the actual door and how it's balanced, and that's not something we guess at - guessing there is how you end up with a spring that fails again in a year.
Once we've seen the door, you get a written number before any work starts. No surprise line items after the fact.
Where We Work
We're based in Foley and quote jobs across the surrounding area, including Elberta (about 4 miles out), Summerdale (6 miles), Orange Beach (8 miles), Robertsdale (11 miles), Silverhill (12 miles), Lillian (15 miles), and Point Clear (16 miles). If your address falls somewhere in that stretch, call and we'll tell you straight whether it's a reasonable trip for us.
The housing stock across this service area varies more than people expect for a region this size - you've got the newer builds from the late 90s clustered in some pockets and older 1980s construction in others, spread across seven distinct named areas. That mix means we see everything from doors that are barely into their second decade to ones that are due for full hardware replacement, sometimes on the same street.
The Work We Take On
We handle the repairs that come up most on doors from this era: broken torsion and extension springs, worn rollers and cables, openers that run but won't fully close, sections that have taken a hit and need a panel swap instead of a full replacement. If the track is out of alignment or the door is binding, that's on the list too.
We also do full door replacement when a repair isn't the better call - sometimes a 20-plus-year-old door has taken enough wear that patching it costs more over time than starting over, and we'll say so instead of stacking repairs on a door that's done.
One limitation worth being upfront about: we quote and work on residential garage doors, not commercial overhead doors or gates, and we can't price a job over the phone when the issue is something we haven't laid eyes on. If you're not sure which category your problem falls into, call anyway - that's a five-minute conversation, not a commitment.
Frequently asked questions
Can you give me a price over the phone?
For straightforward jobs like a broken spring or a dead opener, yes, we can give you a range based on what you describe. For anything involving door balance, track condition, or full replacement, we need to see the door first, since spring weight and hardware needs vary by door, not by phone description.
Do you work outside Foley itself?
Yes. We quote jobs out to Elberta, Summerdale, Orange Beach, Robertsdale, Silverhill, Lillian, and Point Clear. If your address is near those distances from Foley, call and we'll tell you whether it works for a visit.
What information should I have ready when I call?
The age of your house if you know it, whether the door is single or double, and a plain description of what it's doing - won't open, won't close all the way, makes noise, opener runs but nothing moves. That's usually enough to start.
Do you replace doors or only repair them?
Both. Plenty of doors from the 1993-2002 building wave in this area are still solid and just need a part fixed. Others have enough wear that replacement makes more sense than another repair, and we'll tell you which one applies to your door.
