Garage Door Repair
Forest Hills, NY

Tudor Roofs,
Concrete Walls

Forest Hills Gardens is the part of the neighborhood people remember: a planned community designed by Grosvenor Atterbury, its houses mostly built between 1910 and 1917 from precast concrete panels, many of them Tudor Revival with stucco walls and red clay tile roofs. It is a private community, and many of its older houses have garage doors in sizes you will not find in a catalog.

North of Queens Boulevard, the Cord Meyer area has detached single-family homes, many of them rebuilt larger in recent years; south Forest Hills mixes single-family houses, attached townhouses and apartment buildings. Austin Street, between Yellowstone Boulevard and Ascan Avenue, is the shopping core, and Metropolitan Avenue runs along the south side.

Wall-Mount Openers
and Quiet Belt Drives

Garages built into Forest Hills houses often have low ceilings or storage overhead. A wall-mount opener ($875) sits beside the door and turns the torsion bar directly, so nothing hangs from the ceiling. Where there is room for a rail, a belt drive keeps the bedroom above quiet. See opener options.
