A garage door should match the home it belongs to. In Wauwatosa, that often means keeping the classic look of an older garage while making it safe, quiet and easy to open.
Garage Doors in Wauwatosa Homes
Wauwatosa has some of the most beautiful older homes in the Milwaukee area – Tudors, Colonials and Arts & Crafts bungalows in Washington Highlands, around Tosa Village and throughout East Tosa. Many of these homes have a detached garage at the back of the lot, often with an older door, worn tracks or an opener that has been there for decades. Further west, past Mayfair Road, you’ll find more post-war ranch homes with attached one- and two-car garages.
We work on both. For older garages we can replace springs, rollers and cables, straighten bent tracks and install a modern opener with safety sensors. For homeowners who want a new door, we can suggest carriage house style doors that fit the character of an older Tosa home. We serve all of Wauwatosa – from Tosa Village and Harwood Avenue to North Avenue, Burleigh Street, the Menomonee River Parkway and the neighborhoods near Hart Park and Mayfair.

Garage Door Won’t Open? Signs of a Broken Spring
If you heard a loud bang from the garage, see a gap in the spring above the door, or the door feels extremely heavy, the spring is most likely broken. Springs are rated for a certain number of cycles, and in older Wauwatosa garages they are often well past their life. Cold winter mornings are when most of them finally give out.
Please don’t try to open the door by force or adjust the spring yourself – springs are under high tension and can cause serious injuries. We will replace the broken spring the same day, balance the door and check the cables and rollers while we are there. More about garage spring repair.
Garage Door Opener Repair in Wauwatosa
Many detached garages in Tosa either have no opener or have one that is 20+ years old, without safety sensors. We repair openers from LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Genie, replace remotes and keypads, and install new openers – including quiet belt drive models (a good choice when the garage is close to the house) and smart openers you can control from your phone.

New Garage Doors for Wauwatosa Homes
A new garage door can completely change the look of your home. We install residential doors from Clopay, Amarr and Wayne Dalton, in steel, insulated steel and wood-look finishes. Older Wauwatosa garages often have openings that are not standard sizes, so we measure carefully and make sure the new door fits perfectly. See our new garage doors.

From the businesses along Mayfair Road and North Avenue to the offices and facilities near the medical center, we repair and service commercial overhead doors, roll-up doors and loading dock doors. Read about our overhead door repair.
