Doors stuck open, hanging crooked, or off the guide, made safe first.
View serviceCobban went up on former rural land in southeast Milton with Sixteen Mile Creek running through it, construction beginning in 2015 and thousands of homes now reaching completion. Most homes have small front lawns and backyards, and some carry porches with front steps down to the driveway. Turnover is the striking number: 61 per cent of households moved in within the past five years and 24 per cent within the past year, which means a lot of owners here have never seen their door serviced.

James Snow Parkway, Sixteen Mile Creek, Britannia Road
Cobban is a Boyne Survey neighbourhood in south Milton, one of the four — with Ford, Walker and Bowes — that together are adding roughly 6,000 homes and about 25,000 residents on the land between Louis St. Laurent Avenue, James Snow Parkway, Britannia Road and Tremaine Road. Construction across this group runs from 2015 onward inside a secondary plan area of about 930 hectares planned for 50,000 residents. Cobban falls in the L9E sortation area. Its per-neighbourhood build-era and housing-type tables are published, and the streetscape is modern family housing at planned subdivision densities.
The practical character of Cobban is that almost nothing here has yet needed a second generation of anything. Doors are original builder units, springs are on their first set, operators are the ones handed over at closing, and track has never been disturbed. That produces a specific service profile: adjustment, electronics and safety-system work dominate, while section replacement and complete door replacement are rare and usually the result of impact rather than wear. The same newness makes the warranty question the first one worth asking, since a fault inside a coverage window belongs to the builder rather than to a paid repair.
Doors here are insulated sectional units in openings sized by the Boyne guidelines — one-car garages from 2.9 metres wide on lots under twelve metres, two-car garages from 5.5 by 5.3 metres on wider lots, driveways between 5.5 and 7.0 metres deep, and garages held to no more than half the width of the house. What we most often find is a door that was balanced once at installation and never since, an operator learning to pull harder each season to compensate, and photo eyes fogged or knocked out of line by winter slush at the threshold. Running the door by hand from closed answers most of it in about a minute.
First-generation builder hardware fails at the operator and the adjustment long before the door body does, and short driveways make bottom-section impact the main reason a panel needs work.
