Your Questions, Answered

Everything you need to know, in one place. Below are the questions Southwest Florida homeowners and businesses ask us most — about garage door repairs, new installations, automatic gates, pricing and hurricane-rated doors. If you don’t see your question here, give us a call and we’ll walk you through it.

What areas do you serve in Southwest Florida?
Eddie’s Garage Door serves homeowners and businesses across Southwest Florida — including Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Estero, Bonita Springs and Naples — within about a 60-mile service area covering Lee, Collier, Sarasota, Manatee, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Charlotte and Pasco counties.
Do you offer same-day and emergency service?
Yes. Most common repairs — broken springs, snapped cables, off-track doors and opener failures — are handled the same day, and we offer emergency response for urgent situations like a car trapped inside or a door that won’t close. Call (239) 955-0708 and we’ll get to you quickly.
How much does garage door repair cost?
It depends on the problem and the parts involved, so we always give an upfront quote before any work begins — no surprises. Many common repairs are affordable and finished in a single visit. Call (239) 955-0708 for a fast, free estimate on your specific issue.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Eddie’s Garage Door is fully licensed and insured, and our technicians are trained professionals. You get accountable service and workmanship you can trust on every job.
What garage door brands do you work with?
Our technicians service and install all major garage door and opener brands. Whether you need a repair on an existing door or a brand-new system, we can source the right parts and recommend the best fit for your home and budget.
Can you install hurricane-rated garage doors?
Absolutely. In Southwest Florida a hurricane-rated door helps protect your home from high winds and flying debris and can support insurance requirements. We supply and install wind-load and impact-rated doors that meet Florida building codes, and we’ll help you choose the right rating for your area.
How long does a new garage door installation take?
Most standard residential installations are completed in a few hours, including removing the old door and setting up the opener. Custom, insulated or hurricane-rated doors can take longer — we’ll give you a clear timeline with your quote.
Do you repair automatic driveway gates too?
Yes. Along with garage doors, we repair and install automatic driveway gates — swing and sliding gates, gate motors, openers, keypads, intercoms and safety sensors — for both residential and commercial properties across Southwest Florida.
Is it safe to fix a broken spring myself?
We strongly recommend against it. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury if mishandled. Our trained technicians replace springs safely, in matched pairs, and rebalance the door — usually the same day.
How do I get a quote or book service?
It’s easy — call us at (239) 955-0708 or request a free estimate through our website, and we’ll schedule a convenient time. You’ll get an upfront quote and friendly, professional service from a local team that knows Southwest Florida.
Do you service both residential and commercial properties?
Yes. We handle residential garage doors and openers as well as commercial overhead doors, rolling steel doors and automatic gates for businesses throughout Southwest Florida.
What garage door styles and materials can I choose from?
We offer a wide range — steel, aluminum, insulated, modern glass and carriage-style doors, plus hurricane-rated options. We’ll help you choose a look and material that suits your home and stands up to the SW Florida climate.
How often should I have my garage door serviced?
We recommend a professional tune-up about once a year in Southwest Florida, where salt air and humidity speed up wear. A tune-up covers lubrication, spring balance, roller and cable checks, and a safety test to prevent costly breakdowns.
Why won’t my garage door close, or why does it reverse?
It’s often caused by blocked or misaligned safety sensors, an obstruction in the track, or opener limit settings that need adjusting. These are common, fixable issues — we’ll diagnose and correct it, usually the same day. Call (239) 955-0708.
Do you stand behind your work with a warranty?
Yes. We stand behind our workmanship, and the parts we install carry manufacturer warranties. Exact coverage depends on the product and repair, and we’ll explain the specifics clearly with your quote.
