What Taylorsville asks of a garage door

In Taylorsville, the biggest factor is the age of the door and opener.

Older doors and openers

Many Taylorsville homes have original or second-generation doors and openers. Some openers predate the photo-eye safety sensors required since the 1990s, and some doors still use extension springs.

Mature neighborhoods

Shade trees drop leaves and moisture along the bottom of the door, wearing out seals and rusting steel.

Garages that double as workshops

Many long-time Taylorsville owners use the garage as a workshop or storage room as much as for parking. Shelves and storage hung near the tracks can block the door's path, and a door left open all afternoon while you work is exposed to every gust and dust storm.

Taylorsville, Salt Lake County Became a city in 1996, 100 years after statehood, earning the nickname Utah's Centennial City.

Homes and garage doors in Taylorsville

Taylorsville became a city in 1996, but most of its neighborhoods were built a generation earlier: ramblers and split-levels with one- and two-car garages on quiet streets. Plenty of homes still have older steel or hardboard doors, and hardboard panels swell and crack once moisture gets in.

If only one or two panels are bad, the door may not be worth patching, since matching hardboard panels are often hard to find. We'll give you the repair price and the replacement price.

Local tip: If your opener has no sensors near the floor, replace it. It's the best safety upgrade for an older garage.

Yes. Taylorsville is part of our Salt Lake County service area. Call or text to schedule.

My Taylorsville door has springs along the tracks. Is that a problem?

Not necessarily, but those extension springs need safety cables running through them. We can replace them, add cables, or convert the door to a torsion spring where it fits.
