Garage Doors, Springs & Openers in Redlands, CA

Walk two streets in Redlands and the garages change completely. Navel oranges made this town wealthy in the 1890s, and the winter visitors who came for the climate left behind one of the best collections of Victorian and Craftsman houses in Southern California. South of the freeway the streets are lined with them; to the north and east are post-war neighborhoods and newer tracts running toward the wash.

The Garages of Redlands

Expect Victorian, Craftsman and period-revival houses in the historic districts, with ranch houses and later tracts beyond them. Behind the doors we mostly find carriage houses and narrow detached garages at the historic homes, and conventional two-car attached garages elsewhere, and that settles which springs, track and opener parts go on the van and how long the visit will run.

The surroundings do their share: cooler winter nights than Riverside, with occasional frost, and a foothill breeze that drops leaves and blossom into every track. Reaching the door is a factor as well, with rear alleys and long side drives in the old districts, with mature trees close to the buildings.

A carriage house built for an actual carriage has a tall, narrow opening and a floor that was never level. Fitting a modern door there is a matter of careful measuring: track that follows the lean of the building, a bottom section scribed to the floor and an exterior face that keeps the look of the original swinging doors. Many owners in designated districts check with the city's historic preservation staff before changing a street-visible door.

Spring failures come in a cluster on the first cold mornings of winter. Steel is a little more brittle when cold, and a spring that was already near the end of its cycle life gives way on the first lift of the day. If yours are original and more than ten years old, having them looked at in the fall is cheaper than an urgent call in December.

Which garage door faults turn up most often here?
Fractured springs, worn-out rollers and motors struggling with a heavy door lead the list. The setting contributes: cooler winter nights than Riverside, with occasional frost, and a foothill breeze that drops leaves and blossom into every track.
What sort of garages and doors are common locally?
Mostly carriage houses and narrow detached garages at the historic homes, and conventional two-car attached garages elsewhere. That determines the springs, track and opener parts we load, which is why we ask a couple of questions about the garage when you book.
How soon can someone reach the Highland Avenue estates?
Visits to the Highland Avenue estates are generally set for the same or the following day. A door stuck open or a snapped spring goes to the top of the list, and you are given an arrival window when you book.
