Garage door questions, answered for Colonial Heights

Colonial Heights sits in a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware. That is hard on a door — salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. We size springs and seals for Tennessee's humid subtropical region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Colonial Heights is swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity. Colonial Heights has mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, so rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

Census data puts 65% of Colonial Heights homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1972) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.
