Orem is one of Utah County's most established cities, with neighborhoods built over many decades. We fix a lot of older doors here and help homeowners decide when it's time for something new.
In Orem, the age of the door and how hard it's been used matter more than anything else.
Much of Orem was built from the 1950s through the 1980s. Some homes still have their original wood doors, extension springs or openers that predate the photo-eye safety sensors required since the 1990s. Many of these can be repaired, but some parts are no longer made.
Rental homes and shared houses near Utah Valley University put a lot of cycles on a garage door. Several drivers using the same door wears out springs and openers faster, and small problems often go unreported until something breaks.
Older neighborhoods have big shade trees, which keep doors cooler in summer but drop leaves that pile up against the bottom seal. Moisture trapped there rots wood doors and rusts steel ones.
Orem, Utah County Named for Walter C. Orem, president of an early interurban railroad. Home of Utah Valley University.
Orem has a lot of brick ramblers and split-levels with single or double garages, plus newer homes on the east bench and along the city's edges. Many older garages were built for smaller cars, so a modern door with a slim profile and a quiet opener is a common upgrade.
We'll always give you the repair price and the replacement price, so you can decide what fits your budget.
Local tip: If your opener has no sensors near the floor, it doesn't stop for a child or pet in the doorway. Replacing it is the single best safety upgrade for an older garage.
