What New Haven housing means for garage door repair
Water from Lake Whitney is treated at the Whitney Water Purification Facility. The Greater New Haven Water Pollution Control Authority treats wastewater at its East Shore plant.
The Regional Water Authority supplies New Haven, drawing on Lake Whitney and Lake Gaillard among other sources. Older detached garages may have doors that were added later, and the framing does not always fit modern openers well.
Temperature swings cause metal parts to expand and contract, which can loosen hardware over time. The Livable City Initiative enforces the housing code and licenses landlords.

Permits, licenses and your utility
Connecticut requires most home improvement contractors to register with the Department of Consumer Protection. Replacing a full door may need a permit from the Office of Building Inspection and Enforcement in some areas, especially where wind load rules apply.
What to have ready
Note the brand of the opener and the door size if you know it.
What people ask us
Do I need a new door or just a new opener?
If the door moves smoothly by hand, the opener may be the issue. A pro can check both. An opener that strains on a door that is hard to lift by hand points to a door problem, not a motor problem.
How do I open the door if the power is out?
Pull the emergency release cord, usually red, to disengage the opener and lift by hand if the springs are intact. If the door feels very heavy or falls quickly, the springs may be broken. Leave it closed and call.
Why is my garage door so loud?
Worn rollers, loose hardware and dry hinges are common causes. A tune-up with new rollers and lubrication often makes a big difference.
Which parts of New Haven can you help with?
Our network reaches The Hill, Morris Cove, Beaver Hills and Edgewood and the rest of New Haven (06510, 06511, 06512, 06513, 06515 and others). Whether a pro can come depends on their schedule, and we will let you know quickly either way.
