An annual tune-up that treats Atlanta doors like the machines they are.

Metro runs a 22-point tune-up on Atlanta garage doors, inspection, non-residue silicone lubrication, balance test, sensor alignment, and opener calibration, finished with a written report of every finding. West and Southwest Atlanta dispatch from our Douglasville HQ, about 20 to 30 minutes out; intown, Buckhead, and Brookhaven from Alpharetta. Flat fee per door. Since 1979, W-2 techs, never subcontracted.

Bungalow specialty

Atlanta's historic bungalow neighborhoods don't accept generic builder-grade doors. Detached carriage houses, single-bay attached garages, narrow openings, low headroom, we measure in person, recommend by architecture, and stock the recessed-panel and carriage-style hardware most installers special-order.

Two locations, since 1979

Douglasville HQ handles West & SW Atlanta (West End, Cascade, Westview, Greenbriar, Vine City, Adamsville) on daily I-20 routes. Alpharetta location at Park Woods Commons handles intown (Old Fourth Ward, Inman Park, Kirkwood, Grant Park, East Atlanta Village) plus Buckhead, Midtown, and Brookhaven. Both locations same vintage, same crew training, same pricing.

Real Metro techs

When Metro answers the phone, a Metro tech shows up, never a subcontractor. Every tech is W-2, drives a branded truck, and trained in our Douglasville shop. The name on the door matches the name on the paycheck.

Real Atlanta Coverage

Atlanta is at least six different cities. We treat each one differently.

"Atlanta" can mean a 1908 Craftsman bungalow in Inman Park or a 24-foot custom carriage-style in Buckhead. The right work is dramatically different. We've been doing every category since 1979, and we'll tell you honestly which neighborhoods we run daily routes through and which we schedule for route days.

Historic intown bungalow belt (30307, 30312, 30315, 30316, 30317). The big specialty. Old Fourth Ward, Inman Park, Kirkwood, Edgewood, East Atlanta Village, Reynoldstown, Cabbagetown, Grant Park, most homes here date 1900 to 1940, with detached single-bay carriage houses or attached single-bay garages. Tight headroom, narrow openings, sometimes shared driveway access. The right door is recessed-panel or carriage-style, carriage-style 21 or Gallery in solid black or bronze, or Wayne Dalton 9700 Series for stained-wood looks. We measure on-site (mandatory for these), handle exposed-hinge hardware, and use side-mount jackshaft openers (LiftMaster 8500W) where center-rail openers won't fit the ceiling. Most generic Atlanta installers can't fit their truck through the gate.

West and Southwest Atlanta (30310, 30311, 30314, 30318, 30331). Our highest-volume Atlanta zone. West End, Westview, Sylvan Hills, Cascade, Cascade Heights, Greenbriar, Adamsville, West Midtown, Howell Mill, and the Vine City / Castleberry Hill area. Mix of 1950s–1980s ranches and traditionals plus newer townhouse and condo infill in the Westside and Atlantic Station-adjacent neighborhoods. Standard repair profile: spring failures, opener end-of-life, occasional full door + opener replacements. Daily morning route from our Douglasville shop, ~20–30 minutes east on I-20.

Buckhead, Druid Hills, Brookhaven, and the established northern neighborhoods (30305, 30306, 30307, 30319, 30326, 30327). Large estate homes, custom carriage-style, wood-look composite, and Gallery work. Drive time is real (40–50 minutes from our shop), so we schedule on a North Atlanta route day for non-emergency work to keep travel waste low and pricing fair. Emergency repairs (broken springs, stuck doors) get same-day service regardless, the truck just takes longer to get there.

Modern infill and new construction across all of intown Atlanta, particularly the Westside, Old Fourth Ward, Kirkwood townhomes, and East Atlanta, frequently want flush-panel modern doors. modern aluminum-glass and Modern Steel collection in matte black or anodized aluminum frames are our most common modern installs. We do the architectural matching the same way as bungalows: in person, by what the house actually needs.

Common Atlanta Calls

The warnings Atlanta doors give a year before they fail.

Most of the emergencies we run started as small signals months earlier. If your door is doing any of these, call (770) 526-1214 and book a tune-up before it books you.

"The door gets louder every month, squeaks, grinds, creaks."
Dry hardware wearing itself out

Lubrication wears off, then every cycle grinds metal on metal. Atlanta humidity speeds the corrosion, and the 1900 to 1940 hardware on Grant Park, Cabbagetown, and Old Fourth Ward garages (30312, 30315) has less margin than modern gear. We re-coat every hinge pivot, roller bearing, and spring coil with non-residue silicone, never WD-40, which evaporates and collects grit, and catch any parts already damaged from running dry.

"It reverses on its own when closing, or stops partway for no reason."
Sensors or force settings drifting out of true

The photo-eyes near the floor only need a bump from a bike or a lawnmower to sit a millimeter off, and the opener reads it as an obstruction. Busy family garages across Westview, Sylvan Hills, and Adamsville (30310, 30311) generate a steady stream of these ghost reversals. During every tune-up we realign both sensors, clean the lenses, and recalibrate the opener's force and travel limits.

"Honestly, nobody has serviced this door since we bought the house."
The overdue-by-years tune-up

Our most common booking, especially after a home purchase in Kirkwood, Edgewood, or East Atlanta Village (30316, 30317), where the door may predate the seller. We inspect all four systems, balance, tracking, opener, and seals, run the balance test almost no homeowner has ever seen, and hand you a written report of what's healthy, what's wearing, and what can wait. No commission pressure, your call on every line item.

What Atlanta Says

Reviews from across intown.

★★★★★

"1917 bungalow off Edgewood Ave, needed a single carriage-style door for the detached carriage house. Two installers told us they couldn't fit the truck through the gate. Metro showed up with the right hardware and the right approach: side-mount jackshaft opener, recessed-panel carriage-style in solid black, exposed iron hinges. The whole install took half a day and looks like the carriage house was built around the door. Real craftsmen."

★★★★★

"Spring snapped on a Tuesday morning at our Cascade house. Called Metro at 8, Brandon was at our driveway by 10:30, both springs replaced and gone by noon. Honest, fast, no Atlanta premium. Will absolutely call again."

★★★★★

"Westside new build needed flush-panel modern doors, most local installers either didn't carry modern aluminum-glass or wanted to upcharge into a custom order. Metro had it sourced and installed in three weeks at the price they quoted up front. Plus a LiftMaster 8550W myQ jackshaft so the ceiling stays clear. Worth the drive from Douglasville."

Atlanta FAQ

Tune-up questions Atlanta homeowners ask us.

Don't see your question? Call us, we love nerding out on doors.

What exactly is in the 22-point tune-up?
All four systems of the door: the balance system (springs, cables, drums), the tracking system (rollers, hinges, brackets, tracks), the opener (motor, gear, logic, sensors, force and travel calibration), and the seals (bottom, jambs, header). Everything gets inspected, lubricated with non-residue silicone, and balance-tested, and you get a written report of every finding before we drive away. Same checklist every visit, no skipped steps.
How long does a tune-up take?
Plan on 45 to 75 minutes per door, 75 to 105 for a double. Tight detached garages in the bungalow belt, Inman Park, Cabbagetown, Reynoldstown, sometimes run longer because older hardware earns a closer look, which is exactly the point. We schedule at your convenience rather than making you burn a morning waiting on a window.
Does Atlanta's climate really wear doors faster?
Humidity is the quiet culprit: it accelerates spring corrosion and dries out lubricant faster than the parts are rated for. Add the heavy daily cycling of intown households and the older hardware on 1900 to 1940 garages in Old Fourth Ward and Grant Park, and an annual service interval stops being marketing and starts being math. Once a year keeps the failure curve boring, which is the goal.
Will you try to upsell me on repairs during the tune-up?
No. The model is flat fee for the tune-up, a written report of every finding, and a separate written quote on anything we recommend, approve it, schedule it later, or skip it, your call. No commission-driven pressure, no preventive replacement of parts with years left. We have been the second opinion on enough inflated intown quotes to know the honest report is the whole product.
What does the tune-up cost?
It is a flat fee per door, quoted when you book, no surprise add-ons when the truck arrives. That same fee covers a Buckhead double and a Westview single alike. If the inspection turns up something worth fixing, the repair is quoted separately in writing and the decision stays yours.
Can a tune-up catch a spring before it snaps?
Very often, yes. Springs telegraph fatigue in their final stretch of cycle life, the door feels heavy, the opener strains, the balance test fails at mid-travel. We catch those on tune-ups across Cascade, West End, and the bungalow belt every month and replace on your schedule instead of the spring's. A weekday afternoon appointment beats a 6 AM door-won't-open call every time.

One visit a year.
Zero 6 AM surprises.

Book a 22-point tune-up anywhere in Atlanta, flat fee per door, written report in hand before the truck leaves, and any repairs quoted separately for you to approve or skip.
