Garages across Scarsdale's neighborhoods
Scarsdale is both a town and a village, about 19 miles north of New York City, with roughly 18,250 residents. Its neighborhoods are often grouped into five areas — Edgewood, Fox Meadow, Greenacres, Heathcote and Quaker Ridge — plus sections like Arthur Manor, Murray Hill and Overhill. Many homes are older, larger houses with heavy doors and two- or three-car garages.
Heavy doors need the right springs
Wood and carriage-house doors on larger homes weigh a lot more than a basic steel door. They need springs sized to that weight, and openers sized to match. When a heavy door's spring breaks, the opener should not be used at all until the spring is replaced.
Matching the house
Many Scarsdale homeowners choose carriage-house style or wood-look doors to suit older architecture. We measure and quote these for free, including removal of the old door.
Scarsdale price guide
Heavier doors mean bigger springs, so on many Scarsdale homes torsion spring replacement is the most common job — from $385. Extension springs on older detached garages start at $165, priced by weight. A new opener sized for a heavy door starts at $535 installed. New carriage-house and wood-look doors are quoted for free at your home.
About Scarsdale
The town dates to 1788 and the village to 1915, and the two share the same borders. The Scarsdale station on Metro-North's Harlem Line has been an express stop since 1877. About nine in ten occupied homes are owner-occupied, and the Bronx River and Hutchinson River Parkways frame the area.
Caring for a high-end door
Wood doors need refinishing every few years and a check of the bottom rail for rot. Steel carriage-house doors need little more than washing and lubricating the hinges and rollers twice a year. On any heavy door, test the balance yearly: with the opener disconnected, the door should stay put halfway up. If it doesn't, the springs need attention before the opener wears out.

Scarsdale garage door questions
Can you install a carriage-house door in Scarsdale?
Yes — steel, wood-look and wood carriage-house doors, with a free estimate.
Why did my heavy wooden door's opener fail?
Often the springs are too weak for the door's weight, so the opener does the lifting. Fix the springs first.
Do you cover Fox Meadow and Heathcote?
Yes, all of Scarsdale.
How often should a wood garage door be refinished?
Every few years, depending on sun exposure; check the bottom rail for rot each spring.
