Garage door installation in Silver Lake runs $700 – $2,200 for most residential doors, with the final number driven by the non-standard openings and hillside clearances common across 90026. Onyx Garage Door Service has served Silver Lake since 2014, and we work on the homes that make this neighborhood unlike anywhere else in Los Angeles: 1920s Spanish bungalows, Mid-Century hillside houses, and converted garages where the door now closes against finished interior walls. If you need a new door, a retrofit, or a full opener system, call (877) 588-8251 and we’ll quote the job before any work begins.
Why Silver Lake Homes Are Different
Silver Lake’s hillside residential streets do not behave like the flat grid of Los Feliz or the wide lots of the Valley. Many homes off the reservoir sit on narrow, steep driveways with zero-lot-line carports and garage openings that were never standard. A door that must clear a low header, a retaining wall, or a drainage swale cannot be swapped for an off-the-shelf 16-foot unit. We measure every opening, check the headroom and side clearance, and spec the door to the structure, not the other way around.
The housing stock compounds this. A large share of Silver Lake homes were built between 1920 and 1940 as Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean bungalows, followed by Mid-Century Modern infill up the hillsides. Original garage openings in these homes often measure narrower than today’s standard, and many have been retrofitted at some point. The dry, warm Southern California climate means we see less rot and freeze damage than coastal or mountain markets, but south-facing wood doors take relentless UV, and winter rain that grades toward the door puts real demand on threshold sealing and drainage. When you add in the 2010s – 2020s wave of garage-to-ADU conversions, we regularly open panels to find tracks and springs carrying loads that were never re-engineered for finished walls and new flooring.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Silver Lake Services
Most Silver Lake homeowners call us for one of two reasons: the door has failed, or the opener has quit. Both are covered below, each linked to its own detailed Silver Lake page.
Garage Door Repair in Silver Lake
The hillside homes around the reservoir put unusual stress on springs, cables, and track systems. Doors that see steep approach grades, tight clearances, and decades of adjustment need spring repair, cable replacement, panel work, and track realignment more often than flat-land garages. We service LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, and Raynor systems, so the parts arrive matched to your existing hardware, not adapted to it. Garage Door Repair in Silver Lake breaks down pricing, sub-jobs, and what we check on a hillside door.
Garage Door Opener Repair in Silver Lake
Converted garages and older Silver Lake homes often retain opener systems that predate current safety sensors and logic boards. When an opener fails on a hillside property, the door may be the only vehicle access to the house, so the fix matters. We rebuild openers from the rail to the motor, not just the remote. Garage Door Opener Repair in Silver Lake covers the specific opener failures we see most in 90026 and what it costs to correct them.

Garage Door Installation in Silver Lake
Silver Lake garage door installation means working with openings that are not standard. The 1920s – 1940s Spanish bungalows and Mid-Century Modern hillside homes of 90026 often have narrow single-car doors, tight headroom, and framing that has shifted over 80-plus years of seismic and soil movement. We spec and install doors that fit the existing structure, handling new builds, remodels, and full replacements under one roof. See Garage Door Installation for the full range of what our installation crews do across Los Angeles.
Garage Door Replacement
Signs you need it
Your door has a cracked or delaminated panel, the bottom section is rotting or split, or the door binds against the jambs no matter how many times the tracks are adjusted.
What it costs in Silver Lake
A full garage door replacement in Silver Lake typically runs $700 – $2,200 depending on material, insulation, and whether the opening needs custom sizing for a hillside or vintage garage.
How we do it
We measure the opening, remove the old door and hardware, check the framing and header for load issues, install the new panels, align the track, and test the full travel cycle.

How we do it
We frame the opening to the door spec, install the track and springs, hang the sections, mount the opener, and program all remotes and safety sensors.
Garage Door Seal Installation
Signs you need it
Daylight shows under the door, water collects inside after rain, or dust and leaves blow in around the bottom edge.
What it costs in Silver Lake
Garage door seal installation in Silver Lake runs $130 – $250 for most residential doors, depending on the existing track profile and the type of weatherstripping needed.
How we do it

What Silver Lake Customers Say
"Keypad stopped working, which I assumed meant a whole new system. It was the batteries and a reprogram. He charged me the minimum service call and told me how to do it myself next time."
— Sarah Schaefer"Logic board on a 15 year old opener. He was upfront that a new opener would cost less than the board plus labor, and he wasn't wrong. No pressure either way."
— Arjun Rao"Replaced the bottom panel after I backed into it. Color match is close enough that you have to know to look for it."
— Henry Nguyen
