Garage doors in St. Louis

St. Louis is an independent city, not part of any county, and much of its housing stock reflects a much earlier era of home building. Dense brick neighborhoods with narrow lots and rear alley access are common, especially south and north of downtown, and many garages here are small, detached, and decades old.

Winters bring real cold to the city, and the combination of aging original hardware and repeated freeze-thaw cycles is a common thread in the repair calls this part of the metro sees.
