Homes and Garages in Bergen County
Much of Bergen County was built out between the 1920s and the 1960s. In the older boroughs that means narrow lots, detached one-car garages at the end of a shared or tight driveway, and openings that were sized for smaller cars. Split-levels and ranches from the 1950s and 60s usually have an attached garage under a bedroom, which makes noise and insulation matter. In the northern part of the county, newer and larger homes have two- and three-car garages with heavier insulated or carriage-style doors.
What We See Most in Bergen County
- Tight headroom and non-standard openings. Older detached garages rarely match modern door sizes. A replacement door often has to be ordered to size, with low-headroom track.
- Original extension springs. Many older doors still run on stretch springs along the side tracks, sometimes without the safety cable that stops a broken spring from flying. Converting or adding cables is a sensible upgrade.
- Noise under bedrooms. On split-levels and bi-levels, worn steel rollers and a chain-drive opener are heard through the floor above. Nylon rollers and a belt-drive opener make the biggest difference.
- Salt and slush. Busy, heavily salted roads mean bottom sections, bottom brackets and cable ends corrode from the floor up.
- Heavy carriage-style doors. Wood-faced and overlay doors need correctly matched springs. A door that feels heavy by hand is wearing out its opener.
