Garage door questions, answered for Minerva Park

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Minerva Park: with four distinct seasons of muggy summers and freezing and winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks, cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor, and humid summers that seize hinges and rollers, the common failure modes are ice- and snow-jammed tracks, openers straining against cold-thickened grease, humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, and loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings. Our Minerva Park trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

In Minerva Park it is usually ice- and snow-jammed tracks — 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 openers straining against cold-thickened grease. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.

About 74% of Minerva Park's housing predates 1980, with a median build year of 1959; on doors that age, worn springs, tired openers, and brittle weather seals are the norm rather than the exception.
