Exemplary service. An embodiment of values.
Clear, careful, and faithful service — never rushed, never compromised.

Every spring we install is cut and fitted for the door in front of us — measured, balanced, and built with the same steady care craftsmen used to bring to every home.

We examine your opener, explain what we find in plain terms, and repair when it’s truly practical — but when a new unit is the wiser choice, we install it carefully and set it up to proper standards.

We look over your door as a whole, explain what’s causing the trouble in plain terms, and repair only what’s needed — carried out with steady, careful work that brings the system back to proper function.

We check every moving part of your door, explain what’s wearing or drifting out of alignment, and make the needed adjustments — performed with steady, preventive care that meets proper, manufacturer-specified standards for operation.
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.
