Garage Door Repair in Brant Hills, Burlington

Brant Hills occupies the north-west corner of the urban area, where the ground begins to climb toward the Niagara Escarpment, and its old tree-lined streets slope prominently because of that hilly terrain. Sixty-two percent of dwellings were built between 1961 and 1980 and 27 percent in the 1980s, with 5 percent from the 1990s and 4 percent from 2001 to 2005. Single-detached houses make up 55 percent of the stock, row houses 18 percent, semi-detached 12 percent and high-rise condominium another 12 percent, so the mix runs from entry-level freehold townhomes through semis and links to a wide variety of detached options.

Nearly every home here comes with a fenced private treed yard, and the neighbourhood's reputation is as a safe, family-friendly part of the city shaped by the escarpment behind it. That escarpment position is the operative fact for garage doors. On a sloping street, the driveway is rarely level: it either falls toward the garage, in which case every thaw sends meltwater to the door, or it rises away from it, in which case the apron collects grit and the vehicle approach is steeper than the door's threshold detail assumes.
