Garage door questions, answered for Central Gardens

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Central Gardens: with humid subtropical climate — long and high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, mildew and moisture on shaded, north-facing doors, and salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, the common failure modes are corroded springs and cables in the humid air, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, and swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity. Our Central Gardens trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

The median Central Gardens home dates to 1979, with 51% of the stock built before 1980 — a real mix of original and already-replaced doors, which is why we quote repair-versus-replace honestly on every call.

In Central Gardens it is usually corroded springs and cables in the humid air — 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 track hardware and seized rollers. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
