ACS 2024 5-year, U.S. Census Bureau
Older than in any other town we cover: the median Atherton home was built in 1960. Still, 27% went up in 2000 or later, so a 1930s house and a brand-new one can share a street.
Almost every home here is a house, and 88% are lived in by their owners. On a house built before 1950, the garage door has likely been replaced at least once, so its springs, cables and opener can be any age. We check all of it on the first visit and tell you what's worn and what can wait.

Questions
Do you work on wood and oversized doors?
Yes. They cost more than a standard steel door, because the springs and cables are sized to the door's weight. We price yours once we've seen it.
My house is behind a gate. What do you need from me?
The gate code, or the name of whoever will let us in. Give us either one when you book. Plan on someone being home, since you get the exact price before any work starts.
