Garage door questions, answered for The Meadows

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in The Meadows: with warm and intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, the common failure modes are pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, and storm-driven debris and water in the tracks. Our The Meadows trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

In The Meadows it is usually pitted galvanized hardware on older doors — 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 swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.

The Meadows's housing skews new — a median build year of 1985, only 16% built before 1980 — so most doors are first-generation: the common work is tune-ups, spring break-in, and opener setup rather than rust repair.
