Older garages on close-set lots
Mount Vernon is an inner suburb directly north of the Bronx, with 73,900 residents. On the North Side — Fleetwood, Chester Heights, Oakwood Heights, Aubyn Estates — houses sit close together, and garages are often detached or squeezed beside the house. Mount Vernon Heights is known locally as "the rolling hills of homes".
What older Mount Vernon garages need
Narrow driveways mean bumped tracks and bent bottom sections. Low headroom means extension springs or wall-mount openers. And original wooden doors that were later motorized often need stronger springs before any opener will run them properly.
Easy to reach
We cover the whole city, from the Fleetwood and Mount Vernon West stations on the Harlem Line to Mount Vernon East on the New Haven Line and the shopping strip locals call "The Avenue".
Prices for Mount Vernon homeowners
A broken torsion spring starts at $385; extension springs, which many of Mount Vernon's older low-ceiling garages use, start at $165 and go up with door weight; a new opener installed starts at $535. Cables, rollers, hinges and panels are priced on site before any work, and the hardware and spring coupons apply.
The City of Delightful Homes
Mount Vernon takes its name from George Washington's estate, and St. Paul's Church on the South Side has been a National Historic Site since 1978. The city is divided into Downtown, Mount Vernon Heights, the North Side and the South Side. The South Side has many multi-family homes; the North Side and the Heights are where most single-family houses and private garages are.
Three tips for older Mount Vernon garages
- If the door is wooden and heavy, have the springs checked before replacing the opener.
- On a narrow driveway, a bent bottom section can often be replaced alone — ask before buying a whole door.
- If your detached garage has no outlet near the ceiling, plan for an electrician before an opener install.
We also handle rolling gates for shops on Gramatan Avenue and Fourth Avenue.
