Doors from the growth years
Homes built in the 1990s and 2000s often still have original springs and openers. Those parts typically last 10 to 20 years, so many are failing now.
Riverton grew quickly in the 1990s and 2000s along the Jordan River. Many of the doors and openers from that boom are now reaching the end of their life.
Riverton's growth spurt is now showing up as a wave of garage door repairs.

Some Riverton properties still have larger lots with shops and RV garages. Those doors are heavier and need heavy-duty springs and openers.
Riverton, Salt Lake County Named for its spot along the Jordan River.
Riverton is mostly two-story and rambler homes with two- and three-car garages, plus some older homes and larger lots. Many garage doors are standard steel doors from the original builder.
If your door is dented or drafty, a new insulated door is a big upgrade.
Local tip: If your door is 15 or more years old and you've never replaced the springs, schedule a tune-up before winter. Cold mornings are when tired springs break.
We serve Riverton along with Herriman, South Jordan and Bluffdale.

Not always. If the panels are straight and solid, new springs, rollers and a tune-up often fix it. Replacement makes sense when the door is dented, rusted or uninsulated and you want a warmer, quieter garage.
