About garage doors in Zilker
Zilker sits just south of Lady Bird Lake beside Zilker Park, between Barton Springs Road and South Lamar Boulevard.
Zilker grew up as a neighborhood of modest bungalows and cottages built mainly from the 1930s to the 1950s. Over the past two decades, many lots have been redeveloped with contemporary two- and three story homes, so a single street can hold a seventy year old cottage and a brand new modern build.
Original homes often have a small single car garage or a carport that was enclosed later. These openings can be narrow or low, and the framing may need attention before a new door goes in. Wall mount openers are useful where ceiling height is tight.
The newer homes lean toward flush steel, wood tone and full view glass doors, sometimes on garages that face a rear alley or shared drive. Because lots are compact, the garage door is usually close to the street and highly visible, which makes the choice of style matter.
Our recommendation for Zilker
In Zilker we recommend a wall mount opener wherever the garage is an original single car structure or a converted carport, since ceiling height is usually the limiting factor. For new modern builds with full view glass doors close to the street, we suggest frosted, insulated glass: it keeps the look, gives privacy on a compact lot, and takes the edge off the heat.

What customers say about Tier One
Nathan was great! He explained the issue very well to me and had my garage fixed very quickly!
Highly highly recommend this company. Nathan came out and installed a very nice LiftMaster garage door opener when we moved into our house. Then today we had an unrelated issue with a broken spring on our massive two car Garage Door. I needed to get out of the house so he spent 30 minutes with me rearranging the garage so I could do a 100 point turn to get my car out of the other side of the garage - wow! Very professional and great service!
