Exemplary service. An embodiment of values.
A garage-door system is one of the heaviest moving structures in a home. When serviced with discipline and care, it’s safe and dependable. When handled casually, it can become unpredictable.
At Southern Garage Doors, Inc., we work from a professional standard designed to keep every visit calm, orderly, and respectful of your home — so you always know your system is being handled the right way.
Safety is not a claim — it’s a method.
We follow UL 325 guidelines, manufacturer installation manuals, and recognized industry maintenance standards for all doors and openers. These practices ensure your system is serviced exactly the way it was designed to be serviced — safely and with professionalism.
You receive the same level of professionalism we’d want in our own homes.
Every homeowner deserves service that feels predictable, respectful, and competent.
These five steps outline how we work from the moment you reach out to long after the job is finished.
No pressure, no theatrics — just clarity and quiet excellence.
You reach us right away — no voicemail loops, no delays. Our system gathers the basics clearly, and our team oversees every booking to ensure accuracy and follow-through.
Your technician arrives on time in a marked vehicle, equipped with the tools and parts. We listen first, then explain findings and pricing before any work begins — never pressure.
We follow UL 325, manufacturer manuals, proper tools, and a controlled workspace. Every repair is done with patience, precision, and respect for your home.
When the job is complete, we review what was done, confirm the total, and provide a clean digital or printed invoice. You’re informed, not overwhelmed.
Your warranty activates upon payment. If clarification is needed afterward, you contact us through the main business line, and any follow-up is handled through standard procedures.
Professionalism isn’t a promise — it’s a pattern. These five steps ensure every homeowner receives the same steady, respectful service.
We follow UL 325 safety requirements and manufacturer installation manuals for doors, openers, and hardware. All adjustments and installations are completed using approved methods.
We use professional winding bars, calibrated hand and power tools, and specialty equipment such as the SureWinder when appropriate. Every task is performed with tools that match the technical requirements of the job.
During service, the garage becomes a controlled work area. We maintain a clear operating space, restrict foot traffic, and minimize hazards so the job can be completed efficiently and safely.
Findings, options, and pricing are explained directly and in plain language before work starts. All decisions are confirmed with the homeowner, and no work proceeds without approval.
All work is performed under Florida specialty contractor license SCC131153700. Our company carries full liability and workers’ compensation coverage, ensuring both the homeowner and technician are protected on every job.
Our vehicles carry the tools, hardware, and components needed to complete approximately 90% of repair jobs on the first visit. This reduces delays and allows most issues to be resolved immediately.
We maintain an orderly workspace, keep tools controlled and contained, and protect surrounding areas. When work is complete, the space is left as clean — or cleaner — than it was at arrival.
Your warranty activates upon payment. Any clarification after the visit is handled through our main business line using standard procedures to keep communication consistent and accurate.
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! Mathew takes a great of pride in the service and quality provided by Southern Garage Door. He is honest, incredibly competent, prompt, and professional. 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. Matt arrived by 10:30 am and door is fixed and working for a very reasonable price. thank you- very professional and personable.
