Mount Holly Garage Door Repair: springs, openers, tracks and new doors in Mount Holly, Burlington County, NJ.
Replacing a door on an older garage
Putting a new door on an older garage is not always a simple swap. The opening may not be a standard size. The frame may not be square. There may be little room above the door for tracks and springs. That is common in the small detached garages behind houses near the center of Mount Holly, and it is why we measure carefully before ordering anything.
What we measure
The width and height of the opening. The headroom between the top of the opening and the ceiling. The side room on each side. The depth of the garage. Whether the jambs and header are sound enough to hold new track and hardware. If the space is tight, we can look at low-headroom track setups and a wall-mounted opener.
Door choices
Plain steel is light, low-maintenance and inexpensive. It does not swell or rot like wood. An insulated steel door adds a foam core, which makes it stiffer and quieter and keeps an attached garage warmer through a South Jersey winter. Carriage-style doors give an older house a traditional look while still opening overhead. Glass-panel doors are bright and modern and suit a sheltered opening.
Replacing old wood doors
Many older wood doors are heavy and have absorbed years of moisture. A steel door that looks similar is often lighter and needs far less upkeep. If you want to keep the look of the house, carriage-style steel is a common choice.
The installation
We remove the old door, springs and hardware. The new door goes in with new springs sized to its weight, new cables and rollers, and track set square. The opener is adjusted or replaced to match. Before we leave, we check the balance and test the auto-reverse.
Price
Expect $635 to $1,380 for a one-car door in plain steel, $940 to $1,640 for a one-car insulated door, and $1,300 to $3,510 for a two-car door, all according to our price chart. Size, insulation, windows and style decide where you land. Ordering waits on your signed written quote.
