Three kinds of Roslyn garages

Historic village homes. Houses in and near the village often have small detached garages or converted outbuildings, some on hilly lots. Openings are narrow and headroom is limited, so parts have to be chosen to fit. If you're in the historic district and planning to change the door's appearance, the Village of Roslyn's Historic District Board reviews exterior changes, so talk to Village Hall first. Repairs that don't change the look, such as springs, cables and openers, are a different matter.

Mid-century ranches and split-levels. Much of Roslyn Heights and East Hills was built in the late 1940s through the 1960s. These homes typically have an attached one- or two-car garage that's used every day, often with an original or second-generation door and an opener that has been replaced more than once. Rollers, hinges and springs on these doors have logged a lot of cycles.

Rebuilt and expanded homes. Across greater Roslyn, many older houses have been expanded or replaced, with wider insulated doors, carriage-style designs and quieter openers. The weight goes up, so spring sizing matters.
