Know your Mountain View house
Google's headquarters is in North Bayshore. Most homes date from the 1950s and 1960s.
Old Mountain View has older bungalows near downtown. Attached garages are common in mid-century homes, and many still have original doors or openers past their prime. Shoreline Park is built on a former landfill.
Winter rain and summer sun are both hard on wood doors and weather stripping. Eichler homes often have radiant heat pipes in the slab.

Caltrain and VTA light rail meet downtown. Your water bill comes from the City of Mountain View, sewage is handled by the Palo Alto Regional Water Quality Control Plant, and the City of Mountain View Building Division issues building permits. The Shoreline Amphitheatre is a major concert venue.

Common questions
Do you cover North Bayshore and Sylvan Park?
We look for independent pros across Mountain View, including North Bayshore, Old Mountain View, Monta Loma and Cuesta Park, and ZIP codes 94040, 94041, 94043. If nobody's available, we'll tell you. If you're close to a ZIP code line, mention your cross street when you call.
Why is my door so loud?
Worn rollers, loose hardware or a dry track are common causes. Lubrication and new rollers often help. Nylon rollers are usually quieter than steel ones and a common upgrade during a repair visit.
What should I tell the company?
Describe what the door is doing, the opener brand if you know it and whether you heard a bang. If you know the door's approximate age or brand, that helps too.
Is there anything local about garage door repair in Mountain View?
Monta Loma has a large group of Eichler homes. Moffett Field and NASA Ames are on the east edge. Castro Street is the main downtown street. Those details help the garage door company plan the visit.
Who issues permits for garage door repair work in Mountain View?
Permits in Mountain View go through the City of Mountain View Building Division. Not every repair needs one, so ask the garage door company whether yours does when you get the quote.
Write down any error codes, noises or smells. Details like that speed things up.
