Garage Door Service in Passaic County, New Jersey
Captain Garage Door Repairs & Installations repairs and installs garage doors for homeowners in Passaic County. The county is shaped like an hourglass and its two halves could not be more different: dense city neighbourhoods in the south, suburban townships through the middle, and wooded hills and lake communities in the north. The garage doors, and what goes wrong with them, differ just as much. Call 973-803-0054 with your town and what the door is doing.
Homes and Garages in Passaic County
In the southern cities, garages are often detached, shared between two-family homes, or reached by an alley, with older one-piece or early sectional doors. The middle of the county is classic post-war suburbia: capes, ranches and split-levels with attached one- and two-car garages. North of there the land climbs into the Highlands, where homes sit on larger, sloped and wooded lots, many of them around lakes, and some began life as seasonal cottages with garages added later.
What We See Most in Passaic County
- Old one-piece doors. Swing-up doors on older garages are heavy, hard to seal and hard to fit with a modern opener. Replacing one with a sectional door usually means new framing at the head and jambs.
- Shared and alley garages. Limited side room and uneven floors call for careful measuring and, often, a longer bottom seal to close the gap.
- Colder, snowier winters up north. The Highlands run colder than the lowlands. Springs fail in cold snaps and bottom seals freeze to the slab.
- Damp and shade. Wooded, lakeside lots keep doors wet. Steel rusts at the bottom section and wood doors swell and bind.
- Steep driveways. Meltwater and grit run downhill into the garage, wearing the bottom seal and the threshold.
