What North Hollywood Homeowners Say About Mainspring Garage Door Co.
We’ve been working on garage doors in North Hollywood since 1984. That’s a lot of driveways, a lot of springs, and a lot of conversations with people who just want the thing fixed right the first time. Reviews matter to us because they’re the only way to know if we’re actually delivering what we promise. We don’t offer discounts for leaving them, and we don’t cherry-pick the glowing ones. Here’s what our neighbors have said lately.
Recent Reviews
Our opener quit on a Saturday night and the car was stuck inside. Called at 10 PM expecting voicemail, but a real person picked up. Technician was out by 8 AM Sunday, had a LiftMaster on the truck, and we were pulling out by noon. The price he quoted was the price on the invoice. No surprises on the bill.

The spring snapped on our old Clopay door and I was worried we’d need a full replacement. Carl came out, looked at it, and said the door itself was fine, just needed the spring and some cable work. Saved us a bundle. He even pointed out the track was slightly bent from a previous install and fixed that too. Done right means something here.

I’m in a 1950s duplex off Magnolia with a one-car garage that barely clears my truck. The door had been shimmying for months and finally jumped the track. Mainspring had it realigned and the rollers swapped out in about two hours. Technician was uniformed, explained what happened, and didn’t try to upsell me on a new door. Refreshing.

Got a second opinion after another company quoted me $1,400 for “catastrophic panel failure.” Carl looked at the same door and said it was a dented bottom panel and a misaligned sensor. $340 later, it’s running quiet and the safety eyes actually work. The free second opinion saved me a thousand dollars. Wish I’d called them first.

I’m a night nurse and my schedule’s a mess. Called Mainspring at 6 AM after my shift because the cable had frayed halfway through. Live person answered, scheduled me for that afternoon, and the tech showed up when he said he would. That’s rare in North Hollywood. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on the receipt, which I appreciate.

We bought a place in North Hollywood with a Genie opener from 2003. I figured it was dead. Carl’s technician diagnosed it as a worn drive gear and a failing capacitor, parts he had on the truck. Forty-five minutes and $180 later, it’s working like it’s new. He could have sold me a full opener replacement and I’d never have known. A square deal.

The seasonal tune-up caught a spring that was starting to fatigue before it snapped. $89, and they lubed the hinges, tightened the hardware, and balanced the door. In North Hollywood’s dry heat, that maintenance matters. The technician said we’d probably get another five years out of that spring instead of replacing it in six months. Worth it.

My elderly father lives near the NoHo Arts District and his Wayne Dalton door was making a grinding noise he couldn’t identify. I called from out of state, explained the situation, and they treated him with patience. No jargon, no pressure. Fixed a loose bearing plate and adjusted the chain drive. Senior discount applied automatically. We will be there when we say - they mean it.
