Housing
The housing in Newark
The median Newark house was built in 1975, and a quarter of the city, 25.9%, went up in the 1960s alone. That decade is the story of the place. Newark incorporated in 1955 and the population went from 1,532 in 1950 to 9,884 in 1960, and the tracts that filled North Newark and the Lake area date from that rush. 67.9% of homes are detached houses and 69.4% are owner occupied, both the highest figures in the Tri-City. A door fitted with a 1960s house has been through several spring lifetimes, and the question on most Newark calls is which set it is on now.
Where we work in Newark: Rosemont, the Lake area, Mowry West, Bridgepointe and Old Town.
What breaks
What breaks in Newark
Springs, on a schedule you can almost read off the build year. A 10,000 cycle spring on a door that opens four times a day is used up in about seven years, and 76.4% of Newark's owner households keep two or more vehicles, so four cycles a day is a low estimate on plenty of streets. Cables come second, worn by the same cycles. Third is the frame itself. Much of the Newark flatland sits on young bay mud and fill, mapped by the USGS since 1978, and foundations settle unevenly on it. A door that binds on one side or won't seal along the bottom is often an out-of-square opening rather than a door problem, and we check for that before quoting parts. South Newark around Central Avenue and NewPark Mall is the newest housing in the city, and the doors there are more likely to need opener and remote work than springs.
Newark
North Newark, Old Town and NewPark
The postwar body of the city is North Newark. Its northernmost tract is 85.5% detached houses with 85.2% of homes built between 1950 and 1979, and the Lake area around Newark Blvd and Cherry St is 81.5% from those years. Old Town, the 1876 railroad core along Thornton Ave between Ash and Olive, mixes older houses with infill. South Newark around Central Ave and NewPark Mall is the newest stock: in the tract by the mall only 14.4% of homes date from 1950 to 1979.

Questions
Newark questions
How fast can you get to a Newark address?
Central Newark is about two road miles from our office on Peralta Blvd, 4 to 6 minutes off peak by Glenmoor Drive and Central Ave, so it is one of the shortest drives we make. Call any time and we tell you when we can be there. A door stuck open or a car shut in goes to the front of the list.
Do you work on the 1960s houses in North Newark?
That's where a Newark spring job is most likely. The tracts in North Newark and around the Lake went up in the 1960s, and the doors there are on their second or third spring set. We carry the common spring sizes on the truck, so a spring job there is usually one visit.
Is Ardenwood in Newark?
No, Ardenwood is in Fremont, on the far side of the city line where Newark Boulevard becomes Ardenwood Boulevard. We cover it from the same office. Ardenwood was built from 1979 onward, so the doors there are more likely to need openers and maintenance than replacement, and the details are on the Fremont page.
