New garage door installation in Fremont
RSM installs new and custom garage doors in Fremont and across the Bay Area: carriage-style, raised-panel, long-panel, windowed and full-view glass doors from Northwest Door, C.H.I. and Amarr, plus new openers. Every door is installed, balanced and tested, and the estimate is free.
The garage door is often the biggest thing on the front of a house. Call or text (408) 509-2023 with a photo of your house from the street, and tell us what you like. We'll come out, measure, and show you options that fit the house and the budget.
Door styles we install
| Style | What it looks like | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| Carriage-style | Panels and hardware that look like old swing-out barn or carriage doors, often with a window top | Craftsman, Spanish and farmhouse-style homes, and stucco tract homes that want more character |
| Raised-panel | The classic: rows of raised rectangles, short or long panels | Almost any house; the easiest to match with neighbors and HOA rules |
| Long-panel | Fewer, wider panels for a cleaner, horizontal look | Ranch and mid-century homes |
| Windowed | Any style with a row of windows or decorative glass at the top | Garages used as workshops or gyms that need daylight |
| Full-view glass | Aluminum frame with glass or frosted panels | Modern homes, and as a feature door on a back patio or shop |
Steel, insulated, aluminum or wood-look
- Steel is the most common choice: strong, low-maintenance, and made in every style above.
- Insulated steel is quieter and keeps the garage closer to the house temperature. Worth it if there's a room above or next to the garage, or you work in there.
- Aluminum and glass is what full-view doors are made of. Light and modern; frosted glass keeps privacy.
- Wood-look finishes give steel doors a wood grain without the upkeep of real wood.
Ask about colors and window options at the estimate. Northwest Door, C.H.I. and Amarr each make a wide range, so we can usually match a look you've seen on another house.
What a new door installation includes
- Measure and choose: we measure the opening and headroom, check the framing, and go over styles, insulation and windows with you. The estimate is free.
- Install: the new door, tracks and springs sized to the door's weight.
- Balance and adjust: a balanced door lifts smoothly by hand and is easy on the opener.
- Opener and safety check: we connect your opener or install a new one, then test the safety sensors and auto-reverse.
A new opener with the new door
A new door is a good time to replace an old, loud opener. We install and service LiftMaster, Genie and Linear openers, including side-mount (wall-mount) openers that free up the ceiling, and we can turn a manual door into an automatic one. In California, new openers must have a battery backup, so the door still works in a power outage.
“They are very professional and competent. They did a very good job installing my new garage door and opener. They also explained quite a lot of the technology.”
Repair first, if that's the honest answer
Not every old door needs replacing. A broken spring, a worn opener or a bent track can usually be fixed. Text us a photo and we'll tell you whether a repair will do, and replace the door only when it makes sense: damaged panels, a door you want quieter or insulated, or a new look for the house.
