Garage doors in Chapel Hill homes

A median build year of 1988 puts the typical Chapel Hill house at about 40 years old. Many are wood, some are one-piece tilt-ups, and the openings were framed before the double-wide door became the default. Replacements often have to be cut to size. The openers frequently predate modern safety sensors, which is why an otherwise working door can still be worth replacing. Colony Woods and Ironwoods tend toward wooded lots and side-entry garages, where a door gets replaced for function rather than looks.

Only 41% of homes are single-family, so a large part of the door population sits on townhomes and condominiums. There, an association often owns the exterior and the resident owns the opener. Sorting out who approves what is the first step, and Glen Lennox and Falconbridge tend to work that way. Wood doors on older houses raise their own question. A rotted bottom rail can be repaired, but a sagging door that has pulled its hinges is usually past saving. This is our longest regular run, so early calls get a window that day and later calls usually roll to the next morning.
