Garage Door Repair in Mountainside, Burlington

Mountainside is the oldest-skewing urban neighbourhood in this service area: 35 percent of its dwellings date from 1960 or earlier and another 55 percent from 1961 to 1980, leaving only a few percent in every later period. It was mainly built in the 1950s, and the houses are typically modest in size on very large lots. Single-detached houses make up 60 percent of the stock and row houses 26 percent, with the detached streets running to bungalows and split-level homes and a number of townhome complexes filling in. It is described as the most affordable neighbourhood in Burlington.

That combination of modest houses on very large lots is the reverse of the newer subdivisions, and it produces a distinctive garage picture: small original structures with generous space around them. The neighbourhood sits in the north-west a short distance from the QEW and Highway 403, which run concurrently through most of Burlington, and the ground here rises toward the escarpment as it does in neighbouring Brant Hills. With 90 percent of its dwellings built before 1981, Mountainside holds the city's largest concentration of garage openings that predate modern door sizing conventions.
