Close Automatic Garage Door — Little Elm, TX

Meet Darrell and Leah Close of Close Automatic Garage Door

Darrell and Leah Close are the husband and wife team behind Close Automatic Garage Door, running the company together out of the corner where Little Elm, Frisco, and Prosper all meet. Darrell has been working on garage doors since 1991. He started out as a carpenter in the 90s and spent roughly 25 years in the garage door industry out of Washington DC before relocating to Texas. He has done installation, service, technician work, and even handled the electrical side, which means he has touched just about every corner of the garage door industry over the course of his career.

What to Expect From Their Garage Door Repair Service

The first thing most people notice is how quickly Darrell picks up the phone. Customers consistently describe him as responsive, fast to schedule, and willing to come out the same day, even late in the evening or in the middle of a winter storm. One family reached out on Christmas Day with a broken door and Darrell responded that same evening and arrived the next morning. Another customer had a spring snap late at night and was up and running by the following morning. If you have an urgent issue, you are not going to sit around waiting three days for a callback.

Honest, Upfront Pricing and Free Estimates

Once Darrell arrives, his process is straightforward. He looks at the system, gives you a free estimate, and walks you through exactly what he sees. He explains how the parts work, why something broke, and what your options are. Plenty of reviews mention this specifically, and it is the kind of thing you only really appreciate after you have been burned by a different company. You leave the appointment understanding your garage door better than you did before he showed up.

Quality Workmanship Backed by 25 Years of Experience

Darrell takes safety seriously, and for good reason. Garage doors carry enormous tension in their springs, and he has watched people get badly hurt trying to fix things themselves. So when he repairs a door, he is also checking the rest of the system, making adjustments, and making sure the door is operating safely and quietly before he leaves. Several customers mention that he checked their other doors too, even when only one was broken, just to make sure everything was in good shape. He is OSHA certified, fire door safety certified, and carries full commercial liability insurance.

Residential and Commercial Garage Door Services

Close Automatic Garage Door is genuinely a one stop shop. On the residential side, Darrell handles broken springs, off track doors, opener repairs and replacements, sensor issues, full door installations, and high lift conversions with jackshaft openers. On the commercial side, he works on roll up doors, dock doors, dock levelers, scissor lifts, automatic sliding gates, automatic sliding doors, and freezer doors. He even works on wood doors, which a surprising number of service technicians in this area will not touch. If it opens and closes automatically, Darrell can fix it.

Trusted by Local Roofing Companies and Property Managers

Darrell has built strong working relationships with local roofing companies in the area who regularly refer him when their clients need garage door work done right. He also works with numerous property management companies in the area, handling garage door service across their portfolios of properties. Close Automatic Garage Door offers preventative maintenance services for apartment complexes, rental properties, and warehouses, keeping doors running safely and reliably so property managers are not fielding emergency calls down the road.

The Kind of Local Business You Want to Support

What really sets Darrell and Leah apart is how they treat people. Leah loves networking and bringing people together, and Darrell is the friendly, easygoing type who builds real relationships with the customers he serves. Two of their customers actually ended up joining Darrell on a recent fishing trip. When you hire Close Automatic Garage Door, you are not just getting a quick fix.
