AfterMeet the Oakland Team Behind Servo Garage Doors Oakland
We’re the crew that shows up when your garage door won’t close at 10 p.m. or when you’re staring at a snapped torsion spring before work. Every technician on this page works out of our Oakland base, carries a current California contractor license, and has been background-checked and trained to The Haven Standard. What ties us together isn’t a slogan. It’s the rule Marcus started with in 2015: the customer sees the failed part before anyone quotes a replacement.
Our People
Marcus Deller, Owner & Lead Technician
I’ve been working on garage doors in Oakland since 2015, and I still climb the ladder on jobs most owners would hand off. I hold a California C-61/D-49 contractor license and specialize in troubleshooting older track systems, the kind you’ll find in pre-1980s homes from Rockridge to Maxwell Park. My thing is documenting the work: every visit gets a photo record, every quote gets a written scope, and every customer knows what they’re paying before I touch a wrench. I once found a Craftsman opener wired backward for eleven years. The homeowner thought the wall button was “just moody.” It worked fine once I reversed the low-voltage leads. That’s the kind of detail I like finding.
Damien K., Senior Installer
Damien handles our new door and replacement installs across Oakland and the East Bay, and he’s been at it for twelve years. He’s certified in wind-load installation for Clopay and Amarr systems, which matters more than people realize here, hillside homes in Montclair and Piedmont Pines catch serious gusts off the bay. Damien measures twice, orders once, and won’t let a crew leave until the door cycles smooth and quiet. His human detail: he keeps a collection of vintage garage door remotes in his truck, dating back to the 1980s Dip-Switch era. “You never know when someone’s gonna need a replacement for a unit they stopped making in 1994.”
Teresa R., Service Coordinator
Teresa’s the voice you hear when you call (628) 300-0423 at midnight with a door stuck open. She’s been with us since 2019 and knows the dispatch board, the parts inventory, and the traffic patterns between Oakland neighborhoods well enough to give you a real arrival window, not a fantasy. She holds certifications in customer conflict resolution and parts logistics from The Haven Standard training program. Teresa’s detail: she tracks which technicians prefer which routes. “Marcus won’t complain about the hills, but Damien actually likes the tight driveways in Redwood Heights. I match the tech to the job, not just the zip code.”
Jesse M., Apprentice Technician
Jesse joined us in 2023 after two years in commercial door maintenance at the Port of Oakland. He’s working toward his C-61/D-49 license and currently handles spring-assisted repairs, roller replacements, and opener troubleshooting under senior supervision. Jesse’s specialty is learning fast: he’s already certified in LiftMaster and Chamberlain logic board diagnostics, and he’s the one we send when a customer has a “smart” opener that won’t pair with their phone. His detail: he carries a notebook and writes down the model numbers of every door he works on. “My mentor at the port said you don’t really know a door until you’ve seen it twice. I’m building my library.”
One Standard, Every Job
The Haven Standard isn’t a logo we slap on the truck. It’s a set of clauses we work to, and every technician on this page is accountable to them. Clause 1 means you get a flat, written price and a written scope before any work starts. Clause 4 is why your technician photographs the failed part before quoting a replacement. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if we don’t get it right, we come back and make it right, with terms you can read, not a handshake you hope holds up.
We’re independently owned and operated here in Oakland. The Haven Standard contributes the documentation system and the rules we agree to follow. We hold our own license, our own insurance, and our own reputation in this city. When you call (628) 300-0423, you reach Teresa or another live person, 24 hours a day, including holidays. You’ll get a named technician, an on-the-way text, and a documented photo record when the job is done. That’s how we’ve handled 18,000+ garage doors since 2015, and that’s how we’ll handle yours.
