About garage doors in Northwest Hills
Northwest Hills lies between MoPac and Loop 360 in Northwest Austin, with Far West Boulevard running through its center.
Most of Northwest Hills was built between the 1960s and the 1980s on rolling limestone terrain. The homes are largely ranch and split level designs with attached two car garages, and because of the slopes, a good number have garages set below the main floor with living space above.
Houses of this age have usually had their garage door replaced at least once, but it is common to find original tracks, older openers without current safety features, and springs that were replaced one at a time. Where a bedroom sits over the garage, noise is the usual complaint; a balanced door, nylon rollers and a belt drive opener solve it.
Many owners here are remodeling, and the garage door is part of that. Flush and modern designs suit the neighborhood’s mid-century lines well.
Our recommendation for Northwest Hills
Northwest Hills is where our office is, and our recommendation to neighbors is consistent: replace springs as a pair, and if there is a bedroom over the garage, pair a belt drive opener with nylon rollers. When replacing the door itself, we think an insulated flush or long panel design suits these 1960s to 1980s homes best. It respects the horizontal lines of the architecture and deals with the afternoon heat on west facing slopes.
