Garage doors in Decatur

Decatur is the DeKalb County seat, incorporated on December 10, 1823, and counted 24,928 people in the 2020 census on just 4.2 square miles. The MAK Historic District, the first locally designated historic district in Decatur, is full of early 20th century Craftsman homes, and Oakhurst, an older town that Decatur annexed, still has its own business district ringed by bungalows.

Houses from that era often have a detached garage at the back of the lot, reached by a narrow driveway, with an opening that was framed long before standard door sizes. If yours is an old wood door that has swelled, cracked or rotted at the bottom, it may be time to replace it. We measure those openings for free and order a door that fits, and we take the old door away when the new one goes in.

The city has a Historic Preservation Commission, and the MAK and Winnona Park areas are recognized historic districts. If your house is in one, call the city's planning office before you order a new door to ask whether it needs review. A wood-look or carriage-house door often suits a bungalow better than a modern design. For repairs on any Decatur door, our crews bring springs, cables, rollers and hinges with them.

My Decatur bungalow has an old wood garage door. Should I repair it or replace it?

If the wood is rotted or split, replacement usually makes more sense. If it's sound and only the springs or hardware are worn, we can repair it.

Does a new garage door in a Decatur historic district need approval?

It may. Decatur has a Historic Preservation Commission, so ask the city's planning office before you order.

My detached garage has an unusual opening. Can you still fit a door?

Yes. We measure the opening and the room around it for free and order a door made to that size.
