About garage doors in Travis Heights
Travis Heights is in South Austin, east of South Congress Avenue and south of Lady Bird Lake.
Travis Heights was laid out in the early 1910s, and its winding, hilly streets hold a mix of bungalows, Tudor revival cottages, Spanish style homes and later infill. It is one of Austin’s oldest residential areas south of the river.
Garages on the older homes are typically small and detached, often at the end of a narrow driveway or cut into a slope. Openings are frequently non-standard, and some garages still have doors and hardware from many decades ago. Replacement usually means measuring carefully, checking the condition of the framing, and ordering a door to fit.
Carriage house designs are a natural match for homes of this era. If your property has a historic designation, exterior changes visible from the street may need review by the City of Austin, so confirm before ordering a door.
Our recommendation for Travis Heights
For Travis Heights, we recommend two checks before ordering any door: confirm whether your property has a historic designation, and have the garage framing looked at. Many of these structures are close to a century old. Our preferred solution is an insulated steel carriage house door built to the opening’s actual size. It gives the period look with modern safety and very little upkeep.
