What this means for garage doors in Chestnut
39% of these homes were built before 1940, when garages were small, often detached and set at the back of the lot. Many have been rebuilt or enlarged since, so openings vary a great deal. We measure the opening, headroom and side room before recommending any door or opener. It is also a mixed area: 69% of homes were built before 1980 and 28% since 2000, so an original house and a new rebuild on the same street can need very different doors.
Our recommendation for Chestnut
In Chestnut we recommend a quiet belt drive opener for new infill homes, where the garage is close to bedrooms and to the neighbors.
