Garage Door Repair in Corktown, Hamilton

Corktown is the historic Irish settlement southeast of downtown, hemmed in by the rail corridor, the escarpment face and the accesses that climb it, with the Hamilton GO Centre at one edge and the Claremont Access and Jolley Cut rising nearby. Forty-six per cent of its dwellings date from 1961 to 1980 and 32 per cent from 1960 or earlier, but the structural mix is emphatically urban: 72 per cent high-rise, 15 per cent low-rise, 4 per cent single-detached and 2 per cent each row and semi-detached, with 82 per cent of households renting.

Corktown sits inside the Downtown Urban Growth Centre, and the City's laneway inventory records that 10 per cent of every laneway in Hamilton falls within that boundary. City-wide the inventory counts 818 laneways covering roughly 100 kilometres and 38 hectares, with rights-of-way generally three to four metres, 656 of them City-owned and 162 private. In a neighbourhood where only one dwelling in twenty-five is single-detached, that is where private garage space tends to be: behind the house, off a lane, rather than in front of it.
