Exemplary service. An embodiment of values.
Our work is organized, thorough, and never rushed. Each service call begins with a full evaluation of the garage door system and a clear explanation of what we’re seeing, so homeowners can make informed decisions without pressure. Homes in Parrish are typically lived in full-time, and garage doors here are expected to operate safely and reliably day after day. Our services are designed to support that expectation through proper inspection, balance, and adjustment.
Southern Garage Doors, Inc. serves homeowners throughout Parrish, Florida with dependable residential garage door repair and service. Parrish is an area defined by steady growth, newer construction, and homes built for everyday use. From early developments to newer master-planned neighborhoods, we handle spring replacement, opener installation and repair, general repairs, and routine maintenance with a focus on safety and long-term reliability.
We are a locally rooted company focused exclusively on residential garage doors. Our approach is calm and methodical — listening first, explaining what we find in plain language, and completing the work without rushing or unnecessary upselling.
Our work is especially well suited for homes built from the 1990s forward, which make up much of Parrish’s residential landscape. We regularly serve communities such as Harrison Ranch, Twin Rivers, River Wilderness, and North River Ranch, along with surrounding neighborhoods where consistent workmanship and respect for HOA standards matter.

Springs are selected and sized specifically for the door they’re installed on. We verify proper balance and safe operation before leaving, helping reduce strain on both the door and opener. This is careful, safety-critical work meant to support long-term performance.

We inspect the existing opener and explain its condition clearly. When repair is the responsible option, we’ll recommend it. When replacement makes more sense long-term, we install the new opener carefully and configure it according to proper safety and performance standards.

When a door becomes noisy, uneven, or unreliable, we evaluate the system as a whole. We explain what’s causing the issue and repair only what’s necessary, so the door returns to smooth, dependable operation.

Proactive maintenance helps reduce unexpected failures. We inspect moving parts, check alignment, make needed adjustments, and explain what we observe — quiet, proactive care performed to manufacturer-recommended standards.
Homeowners in Parrish often tell us they value service that feels calm, organized, and respectful of their time and home. Many reach out after experiences that felt rushed, unclear, or overly sales-driven.
Whether it’s a properly balanced spring replacement or a clearly explained repair, our goal is to leave the system operating safely and the homeowner confident in the work performed.
Joe CrinkleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic company for garage door repair. The chain on our door motor broke in the evening last Wednesday and Matthew was able to get us up and running with a new motor by a little after lunch time the very next day. Setting up the appointment was super quick and easy and he was here right on time to take a look at the problem. He offered to try and fix the old opener, but it was 18 years old, so I was ready to get it replaced. Matthew explained all of the options between the different brands and model tiers, and didn't try to upsell me at all. He recommended a model with fewer bells and whistles, which was perfect for my needs. The work was quick (couple hours max) and everything looks and works great. And to top it all off, he helped to reset the buttons on both our car mirrors so that our vehicles and garage door were back to fully integrated. From contacting them at around 8 am to fully installed and operational by 1 pm. You can't do any better with any type of home repair service. Highly recommend Southern Garage Doors. Tony GotliebTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. You can't ask for better service, quality, timeliness, or professionalism!

His work ethic is remarkable and I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Mathew ……. Southern Garage Doors is simply the BEST!
Owner's reply
Thank You! JonasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Reviews are not my thing, but I would be remiss to let the fine work that Matt has done for me go without praise. I can't say enough how much I appreciate the prompt resolution and caring approach given to my broken garage door. Zero pressure sales, and should my situation have warranted spring replacement the price was less than half what I paid previously. If you live in Sarasota you owe it to yourself to contact Southern Garage Doors for help with anything you need related to your garage door. In my case there was no need to replace any parts and simply servicing what I already had was sufficient. Lee Ann RodriguezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Responded immediately, easy scheduling, excellent, friendly, and professional service. Quick turnaround with fixing the problem. Thanks Matthew! GaryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We highly recommend Southern Garage Doors to anyone looking to have their garage door system repaired & serviced and refer them as a very trustworthy company. Mathew performed an inspection including finding a couple of issues and performed meticulous adjustments! The cost of Mathews servicing we felt was more than reasonable! Anita BeelerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my garage door serviced a couple weeks ago by a large, well known company. Service was fine but not a good fit for me with a delay, 4 hour arrival window, unclear pricing and too many package plans. Coincidentally, yesterday the large door spring broke! I read reviews and called Southern. They gave pricing over the phone and Matthew came this morning and custom cut a new spring to exactly fit. I understand few places offer this service and use precut. He also added screws to each side of the door, which he said were often left off on single doors, and replaced the light bulb. There were no extra charges for these and NO package plans. Thanks for fixing my “spring break!” 😊 Tony RootTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the time I called until my door was fixed was under 2 hours! joseph murphyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt was great. Best garage service I've ever received. How best? Matt repaired every little fault he found with either door but kept the total price at his original estimate which was reasonable and less than what I expected. Matt took the time to explain to me how to change access codes, other suppliers acted like it was difficult. And, I loved the formal repair summary that Matt left for me to review. Thanks and Peace Joe Murphy D BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matthew came to replace our garage door spring and did an excellent job. He communicated clearly, was kind, and took the time to answer all of my questions. Thank you, Matthew! mike kellyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. these guys are great. called at 8:15 am for a door that got off track and bent when tailgate of SUV got caught in door not allowing door to open manually or with opener.
