Garage Door Repair in Bay Ridges, Pickering

Bay Ridges fills the wedge of land bounded by Frenchman's Bay to the west, Lake Ontario to the south, Highway 401 to the north and the hydro corridor to the east. Residential development here happened after 1960, and the census record shows it plainly: 56 per cent of homes were built between 1961 and 1980, with 17 per cent older than that and a further 9 per cent added between 2011 and 2016. Only 39 per cent of dwellings are single detached houses. Row houses, high-rise and low-rise apartments, semis and duplexes make up the balance, which is an unusual mix for a lakeshore neighbourhood and it changes the kind of door found behind any given driveway.

The neighbourhood is one of the City's designated Focus Neighbourhoods, and the Urban Design Guidelines describe the pattern directly: garages and carports on original houses are typically sized for one vehicle and are sometimes set back from the front facade, so they do not dominate the street. Newer infill and replacement houses take wider garages integral to the dwelling for two or more vehicles. Zoning still runs under the Bay Ridges Area provisions of By-law 2520. The Nautical Village pocket at the bay was developed between 2004 and 2007, so a four-decade gap in construction sits within walking distance along Liverpool Road.
