About Garage Door Installation in El Modena
El Modena is an old settlement on the east side of Orange around Chapman Avenue and Hewes Street, with tract housing from the 1950s through the 1970s and older cottages in its core. Some blocks remain unincorporated county, and original hardware is long past its life.
El Modena grew up around the crossing of Chapman Avenue and Hewes Street on the east side of Orange, settled by families of Mexican heritage in the early nineteenth century and by Quakers from 1883, and named after Modena in Italy. Much of it was annexed by the City of Orange in the 1960s and 1970s, but unincorporated county pockets remain, mainly east of El Modena High School, so two neighboring houses can sit under different building departments. We confirm the permit authority for each address.

Real reviews from El Modena and nearby Orange neighborhoods.
“In El Modena at 13:52, a soccer ball starred the glass lite and the HOA sent a photo. El Modena's older east Orange streets with original extension springs. They swapped the starred lite and reset the gaskets so the HOA photo is obsolete at 13:52 in El Modena. No extra pitch.”
“El Modena, 14:03: the high-cycle dock spring hit 25,000 and cracked, and that left shipping stopped at bay 3.

Permits go through City of Orange Building and Safety Services at 300 East Chapman Avenue, 714-744-7200, and the permit position is confirmed for your address. Widening an opening or altering a header is structural work that needs a permit.
