Blue Hen Garage Doors fixes and installs garage doors in Dagsboro from our Dover office, by way of DE-1, US-113 and DE-20. Broken springs, frayed cables, openers that quit, worn seals and doors off their tracks are all repair work we do, and we put in new Haas doors in steel or aluminum.

Dagsboro began as Blackfoot Town at a grist mill site on Pepper Creek and took its name from General John Dagworthy, who is buried at Prince George's Chapel, built in 1755. The town is small, about 870 people on 2.3 square miles, but DE-20 and DE-26 cross on Main Street, and DE-26 fills with beach traffic every summer.

## Twin homes on Pepper Creek and newer subdivisions

Dagsboro is a small housing market: the 2010 census counted 364 housing units in town. Newer homes came through a handful of subdivisions the town approved from 2005 to 2011, including The Woodlands of Pepper Creek (48 twin homes), Pepper Creek Crossing (19 lots on South Main Street), Vines Creek Village (50 lots at Vines Creek Road and Armory Road) and Lost Tree Village (17 lots off Route 26 at Helm Street).

At The Woodlands, the creek runs directly behind most of the twin homes. In a twin home your garage door sits a few feet from your neighbor's, so a replacement should be chosen with the other half in mind: panel style, color and windows all show from the street. If both owners want new doors at once, we can quote the pair together.

## Creek-side damp and storm-season doors

Dampness is the everyday condition for Dagsboro garages near the water. Pepper Creek is a tributary of the Indian River, and the twin homes at The Woodlands back right up to it. Shade and damp air keep tracks, hinges and bottom seals from drying out, which is how surface rust and mildew get started. The town keeps hurricane preparedness and flood zone pages and points residents to FEMA's flood maps, so look up your lot before you pick a door. If you are replacing one anyway, Haas doors come with certified wind-load options up to 140 mph.

## Services

- [Garage door seal replacement](https://www.bluehengaragedoors.com/garage-door-seal-replacement): Garages that back up to Pepper Creek and the woods take on moisture and leaves at the threshold; we replace cracked bottom seals and worn weatherstripping around the frame.
- [Haas garage doors](https://www.bluehengaragedoors.com/haas-garage-doors): Need matching doors for both halves of a twin home, or a wind-rated door before storm season? We help you choose a Haas steel or aluminum door, color and window layout to suit the house.
- [Garage door spring repair](https://www.bluehengaragedoors.com/garage-door-spring-repair): Homes in the subdivisions Dagsboro approved between 2005 and 2011 may still run on their first springs; when one breaks, we replace it, check the cables and balance the door.

## Questions

### Do I need a town permit to replace my garage door in Dagsboro?

Check with Town Hall at 33134 Main Street before you order. Dagsboro's residential permit application includes replacement and garage work among its project types, asks for the contractor's Dagsboro and State of Delaware business license numbers, and wants plans and a property survey attached. Sussex County then handles plan review and inspections in town, so the answer depends on the scope of the job.

### Can you match the door on the other half of my twin home?

Usually. Tell us the style and color of your neighbor's door, or send a photo, and we will look for the closest Haas panel design, color and window layout. A close match keeps the pair looking like one building from the road. We give free next-day estimates on new doors and can quote both halves in one visit if your neighbor is replacing too.
