Garage Door Repair in Irondequoit

Irondequoit sits on the south shore of Lake Ontario between Rochester's northeast edge and the water, and it built out mostly in the postwar suburban boom of the 1950s and 1960s. Ranch homes and split-levels with attached one-car garages are the dominant housing type here. Because it's hemmed in on three sides, there's been almost no new construction — most of the garage work is repair and replacement on aging originals. It's a dense, mature suburb where homeowners have been in place a long time.

A garage door that won't open in February is not a small problem in Rochester. Temperatures drop well below freezing here, and a stuck door can mean a car trapped inside or your home exposed to the cold. A lot of houses in Rochester were built in the 1950s and 1960s, and the springs and cables on those old doors are long overdue for replacement.

We look at the whole system before we touch anything — springs, cables, tracks, rollers, and the opener. Some contractors replace only the part that broke and leave the worn-out pieces behind, which means you'll be calling someone again in a few months.
