Garage door questions, answered for Electra

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Electra: with hot and high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, morning condensation that collects on cold metal hardware, and damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, the common failure modes are pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. Our Electra trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

In Electra it is usually pitted galvanized hardware on older doors — and because the area has predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, we also see a lot of rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.

About 86% of Electra's housing predates 1980, with a median build year of 1952; on doors that age, worn springs, tired openers, and brittle weather seals are the norm rather than the exception.
