Garage doors in Selbyville

Blue Hen Garage Doors repairs and installs garage doors in Selbyville from our Dover office, mostly straight down US-113. We handle springs, cables and openers, new Haas steel or aluminum doors, pole barn doors and commercial doors.

Selbyville is a year-round town, not a resort. The 2020 census counted 2,878 residents, up from 2,167 in 2010, and only 9.8 percent of its 1,315 housing units were vacant. The town plan describes an old town of under two square miles with farmland on three sides, where chickens, hogs, corn and soybeans are the main source of income and a poultry processing plant sits on Hosier Street.

Historic downtown, new subdivisions and farm buildings

Selbyville's housing spans more than a century. About 13 percent of homes predate 1940, and downtown has a local Historic District, zoned Historic Residential and Historic Business, where the Historic District Commission reviews exterior work. Its Certificate of Approval form asks for a sample of every material used, so plan on a color or material sample for a new street-facing garage door there.

The newer side of town came fast. About 29 percent of homes had been built since 2000 as of 2016, and the town plan lists newer subdivisions and projects such as Sandy Branch Crossing, Coastal Villages, The Tides, Lynch Farm and Selbyville Towne Village. The town's building permit application asks for an HOA approval letter where one applies, plus a copy of the contractor's Town of Selbyville business license.

Out on the farmland around town, Sussex County requires a permit for detached garages and pole buildings, and wide equipment doors on barns and sheds are a different job from a two-car garage door.

Inland weather, farm country and wind loads

Selbyville sits at about 33 feet above sea level, according to its comprehensive plan, against about 7 feet for Fenwick Island eight miles east, and it lies well inland of the 3,000-foot coastal band where FEMA says metal corrosion is worst. The weather still works on doors: the plan describes summers as warm and muggy and winters as chilly, wet and windy. Sussex County's 2021 code rollout set ultimate design wind speeds of 115 to under 130 mph, and DASMA notes that effective wind area, a direct function of door size, is one of the factors in a door's required rating. That matters for the wide doors on pole buildings and shops.

Selbyville questions

More answers on our garage door FAQ.

Do I need approval to change a garage door in Selbyville's Historic District?

Plan on it if the new door changes how the building looks. Selbyville's Historic District Commission reviews exterior changes in the Historic Residential and Historic Business districts, and its Certificate of Approval form asks for a sample of every material used. The town's building permit application also asks for an HOA letter where one applies and a copy of the contractor's Town of Selbyville business license.

Do you install doors on pole barns near Selbyville?

Yes. Pole barn and farm building doors are part of our work across Sussex County, including the farmland around Selbyville. Outside town limits, Sussex County requires a permit for detached garages and pole buildings, so settle the building permit before ordering doors. Estimates for new doors are free and booked for the next day, and the office line is (302) 735-0046, weekdays 8am to 4:30pm.
