Garage door questions, answered for Continental

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Continental: with warm and summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel, humid summers that seize hinges and rollers, and road salt and snowmelt that corrode the lowest hardware, the common failure modes are humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, and ice- and snow-jammed tracks. Our Continental trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

In Continental it is usually humidity-swollen wood doors in summer — and because the area has mostly suburban single-family homes with attached garages, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, we also see a lot of rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
