Garage doors for East Cobb's established neighborhoods

All Four Seasons is a family-owned company that has worked on garage doors since 1999. East Cobb's neighborhoods were mostly built in the 1970s and 1980s, on wooded lots and rolling hills, and many homes have been updated inside over the years. The garage door is often the last thing to change, and it shows.

We look at the door, the springs and the opener together, then give you a written price for repair or replacement. If a tune-up and new parts will do, we say so. Our office is open every day from 7 AM to 8 PM.

Garage doors in a 1970s and 1980s suburb

East Cobb is not a city but a large unincorporated area of Cobb County, developed as an Atlanta suburb from the 1960s on. Its homes are older than most, and that shapes East Cobb garage door work.

Homes from the 1970s and 1980s

Across the four main East Cobb ZIP codes, the Census estimates 70% of homes were built before 1990, with 33% from the 1980s and 26% from the 1970s. The median year built in each ZIP falls between 1981 and 1987. Original doors on these homes are often thin steel or wood with no insulation, and many openers are old enough to lack battery backup or phone control. If yours has no photo-eye sensors near the floor and no other safety device, have it checked before anything else.

Wooded lots, slopes and shade

East Cobb is known for mature trees and rolling terrain, from the neighborhoods off Johnson Ferry Road down to the Chattahoochee. Shade and leaves keep moisture against the bottom of the door, so seals wear out and bottom panels rust or rot. Sloped driveways can leave a gap at one corner of the door. We replace seals and bottom sections, square up tracks and fit doors that seal properly against the slab.

Renovated houses, original doors

About seven in ten homes in these ZIP codes are owner-occupied, and many families have stayed for decades, renovating kitchens, siding and windows. A new garage door is one of the most visible updates you can make to a traditional house, and an insulated one makes the garage quieter and more comfortable. We bring samples, measure each opening and give you written prices for a few styles, so you can compare before any East Cobb garage door installation is ordered.

Built in the 1980s
33%

A third of homes are from the 1980s. Those doors have usually had springs replaced at least once, and openers from that time often lack modern features.

Owner-occupied homes
71%

Most homes are owner-occupied, and many owners have renovated over the years. An insulated door is a common upgrade that matches a refreshed house and quiets the garage.

East Cobb FAQ

What East Cobb asks us

Original doors, wooded lots, steep driveways, openers and springs.

Still have questions?(678) 271-8918
Signs include panels that are cracked, rusted through or rotting, a door that sags even with good springs, parts that are no longer made, and no insulation when the garage sits under living space. Age alone is not the deciding factor. Many 1980s doors in East Cobb still run well with new springs and rollers. We look at yours and give you written prices for repair and for replacement.
Shade and fallen leaves keep moisture against the bottom of the door long after rain, and a worn seal lets water reach the panel. Wood doors rot and steel doors rust. We replace the seal and, if needed, the bottom section, and suggest keeping the threshold clear of leaves.
Usually. We can adjust the door's limit settings, fit a thicker or tapered bottom seal, or level the track so the door closes flat. If the slab itself is uneven, a special seal can close the gap. We check what is causing it before recommending a fix.
Probably. A balanced door should stay put about halfway up and lift with modest effort. If it is heavy or slams down, the springs have lost tension or one has broken, and the opener is doing work it was not built for. East Cobb garage door repair for this usually means new springs sized to the door, plus a balance check.
Usually not, and you would not want to. A new door comes with tracks, rollers and hardware made for it, and springs sized to its weight. Old tracks may be bent or worn, and mixing old and new parts makes the door harder to balance. For garage door installation in East Cobb, we remove the old door and hardware together and fit everything new.
Since 1993, new openers have had to include a second safety device, usually photo-eye sensors near the floor. Lay a 2x4 flat on the floor where the door closes: the door should reverse when it touches it. If it doesn't, stop using it and call us. If your opener has no photo-eye sensors near the floor and no other safety edge, ask us to check it.
Many East Cobb two-stories from the 1980s have a bonus room or bedroom over the garage. Swapping steel rollers for nylon ones, lubricating hinges, tightening loose hardware and replacing an old chain-drive opener with a belt drive cut noise a lot. An insulated door also rattles less. We give you a written price for each part of the job.
