Garage door questions, answered for Roanoke

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Roanoke: with humid continental climate — hot and freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware, winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks, and humid summers that seize hinges and rollers, the common failure modes are doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, and freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals. Our Roanoke trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

About 78% of Roanoke's housing predates 1980, with a median build year of 1960; on doors that age, worn springs, tired openers, and brittle weather seals are the norm rather than the exception.

In Roanoke it is usually doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings — and because the area has mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, 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.
