About garage doors in Govalle
Govalle is in East Austin, east of Pleasant Valley Road between East 7th Street and the Colorado River.
Govalle was settled as farmland and built up with small houses in the 1940s and 1950s. It is now one of the fastest changing parts of East Austin, with many new homes and garage apartments.
New construction dominates the work here: modern doors, alley and rear garages, and openers that need to be quiet for the unit above.

What this means for garage doors in Govalle
30% of these homes were built in the 1960s and 1970s, so the garage door and opener on any one house could be original, replaced once or replaced several times. That is why we inspect the whole door, springs, cables, rollers, tracks and opener, on every visit. It is also a mixed area: 59% of homes were built before 1980 and 38% since 2000, so an original house and a new rebuild on the same street can need very different doors.
Our recommendation for Govalle
In Govalle, where so many garages have an apartment above, we recommend an insulated door with a belt drive opener. The insulation cuts noise and heat for the people living over it.
