The Best Garage Door Service in South Orange
South Orange is a 2.85-square-mile village where much of the housing dates to before 1930, from the Victorian, Shingle Style and Colonial Revival houses of Montrose Park to the 1920s foursquares south of South Orange Avenue, and gas streetlights still line many of its streets.
Garage Doors in South Orange
A lot of South Orange garages were built for smaller cars, and some started life as carriage houses. Montrose Park still has one from 1887. Older openings like these often aren’t a standard size, so we measure every opening and match the door, springs and opener to it instead of forcing a stock door into a 100-year-old frame.
On the west side of the village, homes climb the slope of South Mountain, and a sloped driveway can leave a gap under the door that lets in water, leaves and mice. Down in the Rahway River valley near downtown, a tight bottom seal and rust-resistant hardware matter more. If your home is in the Montrose Park, Prospect Street or Old Main DL&W historic district, exterior changes may need Historic Preservation Commission review, and we can help you pick a carriage-house or wood-look door that fits the street.

Frequently Asked Questions — South Orange, NJ Garage Door Service
Do I need approval to replace a garage door in a South Orange historic district?
Possibly. Homes in Montrose Park, the Prospect Street district and the Old Main DL&W district may need Historic Preservation Commission review for exterior changes, so check with the Village before you order. We’ll help you choose a carriage-house or wood-look door that suits the house.
Can you fit a new door to an older South Orange garage opening?
Yes. Many South Orange homes date to the early 1900s, and we measure each opening and size the door, springs and track to fit, including detached and carriage-house garages.
