Garage doors on the ridges

The old Natchez Trace once ran through what is now Forest Hills, and by the 1920s the hills were a favorite spot for country estates. After World War II it became a suburb of large, wooded lots.

1960s and 1970s homes

Census estimates show 24% of Forest Hills homes were built in the 1960s and 23% in the 1970s, with a median build year of 1970, and 26% are older than 1960. If the garage doors, springs and openers on those houses are still original, they're now several decades old. Extension springs may lack safety cables and openers may predate photo-eye sensors. We check every part, add cables where missing and price repair and replacement side by side.

Steep lots and long driveways

Forest Hills is known for steep, wooded hills and ridges, with ridgetop streets like Laurel Ridge Drive developed in recent decades. A sloped driveway or a slab that isn't level can leave a gap under one side of the door, letting in water and leaves. A thicker or tapered bottom seal, or a threshold on the floor, often closes a small gap. Long driveways also make a Wi-Fi opener useful for checking the door from the house.

Shade and multi-bay garages

Most homes sit on one to two acres under mature trees, and many have two- or three-bay garages, often side-entry. Shade keeps moisture at the bottom of the door, wearing seals and rusting or rotting lower panels. Wider and heavier doors need springs sized carefully to their weight. For a Forest Hills garage door installation on a multi-bay garage, we measure each bay, match the doors and price the set in writing.

Forest Hills FAQ

Questions from Forest Hills homeowners

1960s and 1970s doors, steep driveways, shade, side-entry garages and openers.

Still have questions?(678) 271-8918
Start with safety. Each extension spring along the tracks should have a cable through it, and the opener should reverse when the door touches a 2x4 laid flat under the middle of the door. Then check for rusted bottom panels and worn seals. If anything fails, have it inspected before you keep using the opener.
A side-entry garage on a slope often catches runoff along the bottom edge. A new, thicker bottom seal and a rubber threshold on the floor stop most of it. If water flows toward the garage, drainage work may also be needed. We check the seal, the slab gap and the door's level, and price the fix.
Sometimes, if there's room for a center post and the header can carry it. Two singles look more traditional and make it easier to replace one door if it's damaged. We check the framing and give you written prices for both setups.
Usually the springs are worn and no longer carry the door's weight, so the opener does the lifting. Stop using it until it's checked. Forest Hills garage door repair for this means springs sized to the door, new cables if worn and a full balance test.
Good wood-look steel and composite doors have deep grain and stain-like finishes that read as wood from the driveway, and they need far less upkeep than real wood. We bring samples so you can compare them in your own light before choosing.
Yes, with a Wi-Fi opener or an add-on, if the door is well balanced and the opener is in good shape. If the opener is old or lacks photo-eye sensors, replacing it with a Wi-Fi model makes more sense. We check the door first, since an opener shouldn't strain.
