Garage door help in Boise

Request a callback

Boise is the oldest and most varied housing in the valley, and the garage doors show it. A North End garage can be a detached 1920s box with a wood door on an odd-sized opening, while a West Boise split-level runs the same stamped steel door as ten thousand other houses. The calls reflect that spread: everything from "the spring just went" to "this door is older than I am and nothing is standard."

The doors you run into here

• Detached garages and alley access. Older neighborhoods carry the garage on the alley, with small openings and doors that predate modern track and spring standards.
• Wood and odd sizes. A one-piece wood door or a non-standard opening is a different repair and a different replacement quote than a stock sectional.
• Builder-age hardware. The Boise subdivisions that went up in the eighties and nineties are at the age where springs, rollers, and openers all wear out together.

What the pro asks first

Which part of town, attached or detached, and roughly how old the door is. A North End alley garage and a Harris Ranch three-car are different visits, and the company calling back will want to know which it is before the truck rolls.
