Because there is no sidewalk and no kerb line, the driveway reads as part of the street and the garage door reads as part of the house rather than as a service element tucked behind one. On a wide frontage that door is frequently the largest single surface anyone sees from the road, which is why so much of our work here is at the design end: custom wood, full-view glass, flush modern panels chosen to sit with the architecture rather than to be ignored. It also means a door that is visibly out of true — a corner landing early, a panel bowed, a finish gone chalky — is noticed by everybody, including you, every day.

The trees are the other half. Oak and fruit-tree litter comes down onto driveways and into bottom tracks continuously rather than seasonally, and it collects against photo-eye brackets at exactly the height they sit. On a wide door that is the commonest reason for a reversal that looks like an electronics fault. It also holds moisture against the bottom seal on a door that otherwise lives in a dry inland climate.

And the doors are wide. Large lots and rebuilt or heavily extended houses mean two- and three-car openings are the norm, so springs and cables have to be sized to a weighed door rather than to the opening, and a wide door punishes a track that is a few millimetres out in a way a standard double never does. Free written estimate before anything is touched, one flat rate whatever the day, full licensing and insurance, workmanship backed in writing.
