Garage Door Repair in Lake Highlands, TX

Dallas · ZIP 75238 — about five miles east of our office; tracks, springs, cables and openers around the clock.

Lake Highlands is the large northeast Dallas neighborhood above White Rock Lake, about five miles from our office. We reach it by Northwest Highway, Park Lane and Church Road. It is a collection of dozens of subdivisions, split by I-635 and the DART Blue Line and served mostly by Richardson ISD schools.

Most of Lake Highlands was built in the later part of the 20th century, and in our experience the typical house is a ranch or split-level with a two-car garage facing the street. The land is not flat: street elevations vary by as much as 50 feet, so driveways pitch toward or away from the garage door. A steep apron changes how a door seals at the floor and where rain runs. White Rock Creek and its trails thread through the neighborhoods.

The October 2019 tornado's damage path ran east to near US 75 and Forest Lane, along the neighborhood's western edge, and the National Weather Service also found damage farther northeast near Audelia and Buckingham Roads in Richardson.

🌊 What Lake Highlands Garage Doors Are Up Against

We come east on Northwest Highway and Park Lane, then up Church Road or Skillman Street, past the Lake Highlands Town Center at Skillman and Walnut Hill. Houses on the slopes get a closer look at the floor seal and the track footing, and every opener gets its photo-eye height checked because sloped aprons put the sensors on uneven ground. In the late-century subdivisions we expect original builder rollers and openers that are due for replacement.

Lake Highlands Garage Door FAQs

Why does my garage door leave a gap at the floor on a sloped driveway?
On a sloped driveway the bottom seal meets the floor at an angle, so one corner can lift while the other seals. We adjust the seal, fit a longer or more flexible bottom seal when needed, and check that the door sits level. DASMA calls this bottom strip the astragal or bottom weatherseal.
How far is Lake Highlands from your office?
The middle of Lake Highlands is about five miles from our office at 8111 Preston Rd, by Northwest Highway, Park Lane and Church Road. The whole neighborhood is inside our regular service area.
Should I replace the original builder garage door on a 1970s house?
Not automatically. Many original doors need only new springs, rollers and an opener that meets current safety rules. A door with cracked sections or rusted-through bottom panels is the one to replace.
What should I do if hail damaged my garage door?
Check the sections for dents, look at the windows and track for cracks, and test the door by hand with the opener released. The National Weather Service says large hail reaches the Dallas area in most years, so a damaged door is worth repairing before the next storm. We replace panels and match profiles when we can.
