Garage door questions, answered for Decatur

Decatur 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 — summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, mildew and moisture on shaded, north-facing doors, and storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals 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, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, 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 Decatur is swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity. Decatur has mostly suburban single-family homes with attached garages, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, so rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

Decatur runs a mixed-age housing stock (median build year 1981), roughly 49% pre-1980, so we see both first-generation doors and aging replacements.
