Garage Door Repair in Nassau County, NY

What's different about Nassau garage doors

Postwar subdivisions like Levittown, Hicksville and Massapequa were built fast in the late 1940s and 1950s. Garages from that era were often added later, sized for smaller cars, or converted to living space. When a door in one of these houses fails, the fix is often a conversion from old extension springs to torsion, or a custom-height door to fit a low header.

The North Shore is different again. Manhasset and Port Washington have older, more expensive homes (Nassau's median value is about $685,000), with detached garages and carriage-style doors, while the South Shore canal towns face salt air and flooding.

Nassau's permits are split three ways: the towns of Hempstead, North Hempstead and Oyster Bay cover their hamlets, while villages and the City of Long Beach run their own offices.
