A garage door service call in Sarasota is $195 — the trip, a 21-point safety inspection, and the first 20 minutes of labor, all of it. Spring replacement starts at $515 all-inclusive; opener installation at $1035. Every price we charge is published on this page — and the number on this page is the number on the invoice.
Integrity. Stewardship. Diligence. Respect. That's not a slogan — it's how we work.
Before we ever ring your doorbell, the price is already public — on this page, and quoted word-for-word by Jenny when you call.
Integrity
What this means for you: the quote is the bill. Three documents, one number.
Every visit starts the same way: a $195 service call — the trip, a 21-point safety inspection, and the first 20 minutes of skilled work.
Diligence
What this means for you: your door gets a full examination before anyone recommends anything.
If you decline the repair, you owe the service call and nothing else. Payment happens after the work is done and you've looked it over.
Stewardship & Respect
What this means for you: the call is yours. You decide what to fix and when.
Pick the service and the arrival window that suits you — you'll get a confirmation the same way you booked.

Matthew did an amazing job repairing my garage door. He was right on time, friendly, sent a reminder the day of service and completed the job quick and professionally. Southern Garage Doors is the ultimate professionals. They will be my primary garage door company in the future. I couldn’t be more pleased.

I called Southern Garage Doors when I realized I had a broken spring and my car was stuck in the garage. The response time was almost immediate and we were able to setup an appointment the following morning at 8:00 am. Matthew Knepp the President and co-owner showed up and was a very knowledgeable, honest and pleasure to work with. He went beyond just the repair and made sure everything was working properly and provided outstanding service!

Today Southern Garage installed our new garage door. Ron Knepp and his son were on time and very professional. They had to replace the wood surrounding the door. They did this in a timely manner and took all the trash away. And their outstanding work was done at a reasonable price. I heartily recommend them! -Ed

They showed up on time, did the job with speed and accuracy, as well as a smile and great attitude, and charged exactly what they quoted, even though the project turned out to be more than they'd planned! Definitely on my "SAVE" list!
