Garage Door Repair in Armitage, Newmarket

Armitage occupies the ground between Bayview Avenue and the Mulock Drive corridor and is the most townhome-weighted of the older Newmarket suburbs. Fifty-six percent of its dwellings were built between 1991 and 2000 and 37 percent between 1981 and 1990, so it is a 1980s and 90s neighbourhood with almost nothing older underneath it. The housing is a mix of larger detached homes, mainly from the 1980s, freehold and condominium townhomes, and low-rise apartment buildings. Row houses account for 25 percent of all dwellings, single-detached 56 percent, duplex 9 percent and semi-detached 7 percent.

That quarter-share of row housing changes the character of garage work here more than the build era does. A townhouse garage is typically a single-width opening set back from a short shared driveway, with the door immediately below a bedroom and beside a party wall. Noise travels, side room beside the track is minimal, and getting a full-width section past parked cars in a condominium block takes planning rather than luck. On the detached side, 1980s doubles on wider lots sit only a street away, so two different door populations share the same postal area and the same technician's afternoon.
