Garage doors in Cape Coral
The Cape was built from the southeast outward, and the garage doors follow the same pattern. Around the Yacht Club area the houses are the oldest in the city, with lower garages and doors that have been replaced at least once. The southwest, including Pelican, Cape Harbour and Tarpon Point, is full of homes on salt water canals where corrosion sets the repair schedule. Much of the central city went up in the building boom of the early two thousands, and those builder grade springs and openers are now at the end of their life. In the northwest and northeast new homes are still going up, with wide insulated doors and smart openers that bring their own set of faults. After Hurricane Ian a great many doors across the city were replaced, and we still see doors that were patched in a hurry and never properly rebalanced.
