Seaside Garage Door Experts — precision work, coastal‑grade parts, and neighbors who actually show up on time.
We’re a family-owned garage door repair company in Virginia Beach serving all of Hampton Roads since 2013. Same-day service, written upfront pricing, and a 5‑year workmanship warranty on every repair — no gimmicks, no bait-and-switch, no trapped cars.
Who we are
Seaside Garage Door Experts is a locally-owned and operated garage door repair and installation company based in Virginia Beach, VA. We’ve been fixing springs, openers, cables, tracks, and rollers across Hampton Roads since 2013 — that’s more than a decade of salt-air, humidity, and hurricane-season garage doors under our belt. Owner David Yifrach still answers the phone, our technicians are W‑2 employees (not sub-contractors), and every tech is background-checked, uniformed, and trained in torsion-spring safety before they ever touch a customer’s door.
We’re fully licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia, carry general liability plus workers’ compensation insurance on every job, and provide a certificate of insurance on request — important for HOA and property-management work, which we do a lot of across Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Norfolk.

Where we work
We serve every city and neighborhood in Hampton Roads — from Virginia Beach (Kempsville, Sandbridge, Great Neck, Princess Anne) to Norfolk (Ghent, Ocean View, Larchmont, ODU), Chesapeake (Greenbrier, Western Branch, Great Bridge), Portsmouth (Cradock, Churchland), Hampton, Newport News, Suffolk, Williamsburg, and Smithfield. Typical arrival window is 2 to 4 hours from the time you call, and we dispatch the closest tech to your address — not the next one who’s “free” 45 minutes away.
How we do it — our process
Every Seaside service call follows the same four-step process, and we think it’s why our 4.9★ Google rating stays where it is:
- Real-time diagnosis. Our tech arrives with a fully-stocked van, listens to the door cycle, inspects springs, cables, rollers, bearings, and opener logic, and gives you the actual root cause — not a sales pitch.
- Upfront, written pricing. Before a tool comes out of the van, you get the exact repair cost in writing. No “it was more complicated than I thought” surprises at the end.
- Repair-first philosophy. If a $30 gear fixes your opener, we don’t sell you a $600 new unit. Read our case studies — that’s the normal outcome, not the exception.
- Coastal-grade parts. Hampton Roads salt air eats standard hardware. We default to stainless-steel cables, galvanized oil-tempered torsion springs, and corrosion-resistant mounting hardware — at no upcharge.
What sets us apart from the other Hampton Roads garage door companies
There’s no shortage of garage door repair in Virginia Beach — a search pulls up dozens of listings, many of them national call-center lead resellers who farm your job out to whichever sub-contractor picks up first. That’s not us. Here’s why Hampton Roads homeowners keep referring neighbors:
- Local, licensed, and insured. Real Virginia Beach address, real Virginia contractor license, real local phone number that’s answered by a real person 7 AM to 9 PM every single day.
- W‑2 technicians, not day-labor subs. Every Seaside tech is a trained full-time employee — so the quality of the work at 8 PM on a Sunday looks identical to the work done at 10 AM on a Tuesday.
- 5‑year workmanship warranty — in writing. If a repair we completed fails within five years due to our workmanship or the parts we installed, we come back and fix it free. No argument. No fine print.
- Transparent, honest pricing. Single-spring replacements typically run $180–$280 installed. Double-spring $280–$420. Opener repair $135–$220 depending on the part. Full opener replacement $385–$725 depending on model and horsepower. New 16×7 insulated garage doors installed starting at $1,485. You get the exact price in writing before a tool leaves the van — never a dollar more at the end of the job.
- Same-day response, weekends and evenings included. We answer the phone from 7 AM to 9 PM, 7 days a week, and we dispatch for true emergencies any time, day or night. Most repairs are finished the same afternoon you called.
When you’re ready, the fastest way to get a tech out is to book online or call us at (757) 777-3330. If you’d rather read first, check the case studies, customer reviews, DIY guide, and repair blog — they’ll tell you more about how we work than any sales page ever could.
