Garage Door Repair in Rougemount, Pickering

Rougemount holds the high ground on Pickering's western boundary above the Rouge River valley. First homes appeared between 1900 and 1940, subdivisions followed from the 1970s, and apartments and townhouses were added in the 1990s: 42 per cent of the housing dates from 1981 to 1990, 30 per cent from 1991 to 2000, 9 per cent from 1961 to 1980 and 6 per cent from before 1960. Nearly three-quarters is single detached. Custom-designed estate homes here are given large lots for privacy, while the 1970s subdivision houses read as executive-style two-storey detached, some of them overlooking Rouge Park conservation land directly.

Two things follow from that. First, garage openings vary more in Rougemount than in a uniform subdivision: an estate house may carry three bays or an oversized double, while a 1970s executive two-storey has a conventional attached double, and the 1990s townhouse pockets have single-width doors. Second, the neighbourhood is a Focus Neighbourhood, so the City's guidance on original one-vehicle garages, wider integral infill garages, double doors reading as two single bays and driveways no wider than the permitted garage all apply. Rougemount is also where the valley-edge condition is most pronounced in the west end, with lots dropping away toward Rouge National Urban Park.
