Century old detached garages, original narrow openings
Pasadena, South Pasadena, San Marino and Altadena carry some of the oldest housing stock around here, much of it Craftsman bungalow and period revival work from the 1900s through the 1930s. Plenty of those garages are detached, sit at the back of a long driveway, and were framed for one narrow car, so the job is usually fitting a modern insulated door and opener into an original opening without rebuilding the header. Along the foothills in La Canada Flintridge, La Crescenta, Montrose, Tujunga and Verdugo City the garages tend to be cut into slopes with low headroom and short backroom, and owners on the older streets of Glendale and Alhambra often want a carriage style face over modern sectional hardware.
Installation is the main job in this stretch, and most of it is fitting a modern insulated door into an opening framed a century ago without rebuilding the header. Low headroom means a special track kit more often than not. Carriage style faces over standard sectional hardware are a common request.
