From Melrose to Chelsea Park
People here called the area Melrose until the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad came through in 1908 and railroad officials renamed the community Chelsea. Residents voted to incorporate in the mid-1990s, partly to head off a possible annexation by Pelham, and US-280 now crosses the northern end of the city.
Census figures show about three of every four Chelsea homes were built in 2000 or later, a few hundred of them since 2020, and nearly all are single-family houses. Chelsea Park alone, a joint venture of Eddleman Properties and Thornton Homes, was planned for about 3,000 homes.

New-Build Doors, Set Up Safely
One of our Chelsea jobs is in our project photos: a new dark-brick house, still full of construction debris, that went from two bare openings to a pair of wood-look doors with a row of windows across the top. On a new house, the door, springs and opener can all be in before the family moves in.
Every opener sold in the U.S. since 1993 has to reverse when the closing door meets something, and the photo eyes near the floor give it a second way to stop. Industry safety guidelines put those photo eyes no higher than six inches off the floor and the wall button at least five feet up, out of a small child’s reach. If yours sit somewhere else, get them checked before anyone moves in.
Before moving in, walk the garage and check:
- The photo eyes sit low, six inches up at most, with their lights steady
- The wall button is at least five feet above the floor or step
- The door stops and backs up if something is in its way
- Every remote and car button works from the driveway
- Tracks and rollers are clear of construction dust and debris
If anything on that list fails, don’t use the opener until it’s fixed. Call us.
What We Repair and Install
New installs aside, these are the repairs we handle in Chelsea:
Broken Garage Door Springs
Broken or worn springs can make your garage door extremely heavy or prevent it from opening altogether. A loud bang, visible gap in the spring, or door that suddenly becomes difficult to lift can all point to a spring problem.
Garage Door Spring RepairGarage Door Opener Problems
If the opener runs but the door doesn’t move, the remote stops responding, or the door reverses unexpectedly, the opener or one of its connected components may need repair.
Garage Door Opener RepairBroken or Frayed Cables
Garage door cables work with the springs to safely lift and lower the door. A loose, frayed, or broken cable can cause the door to hang unevenly and should be repaired before the door is operated again.
Garage Door Cable RepairWorn Rollers & Damaged Tracks
Worn rollers, bent tracks, or loose hardware can cause the door to shake, grind, squeak, or move unevenly. Repairing these components can restore smoother and quieter operation.
Garage Door Track & Roller RepairGarage Doors Off Track
A door can come off its tracks because of damaged rollers, broken cables, impact, or another mechanical failure. An off-track door can be unstable, so it should be inspected before you try to move it.

Dents, cracks, or impact damage don’t always mean the entire garage door needs to be replaced. Depending on the damage, an individual panel may be repairable or replaceable.

Common Questions
Can you install doors on a house that’s still being built?
Yes. Tell us where the build is and when the openings will be ready, and we’ll set a time. The Chelsea house in our project photos still had construction debris out front when its doors went in.
Why does the wall button need to be five feet up?
So small children can’t run the door themselves. Safety guidelines measure it from the floor or from any step or landing next to it. Remotes count too: keep them where kids can’t play with them.
Can we pick our own door for a house that’s being built?
Yes, if your builder agrees. We can put in the Amarr or Clopay door and the opener you choose, and you’ll see the price first.
How far is Chelsea from your shop?
About 20 miles from our shop in Hoover, roughly half an hour by I-459 and US-280 when the traffic is light.
