Garage door questions, answered for Four Square Mile

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Four Square Mile: with dry conditions year-round with big seasonal swings — scorching summers and freeze-thaw on cold winter nights that cracks aging seals, intense UV that embrittles rubber gaskets and bottom seals, and rapid day-to-night temperature swings that loosen hardware over time, the common failure modes are prematurely fatigued springs from extreme thermal cycling, dried, cracked bottom seals that let dust into the garage, noisy operation from grit-packed, under-lubricated rollers, and cold-snapped springs after hard winter freezes. Our Four Square Mile trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

The median Four Square Mile home dates to 1989, with 24% of the stock built before 1980 — a real mix of original and already-replaced doors, which is why we quote repair-versus-replace honestly on every call.

In Four Square Mile it is usually prematurely fatigued springs from extreme thermal cycling — and because the area has predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, we also see a lot of dried, cracked bottom seals that let dust into the garage. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
