Garage door questions, answered for West Mountain

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in West Mountain: with high and extreme summer heat that bakes and warps lightweight steel panels, low ambient humidity that dries out factory track lubrication fast, and dust storms that pack debris into tracks and photo-eye sensors, the common failure modes are noisy operation from grit-packed, under-lubricated rollers, dust-fouled tracks that bind and throw the door off level, prematurely fatigued springs from extreme thermal cycling, and faded, sun-baked panel finishes on exposed doors. Our West Mountain trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

The median West Mountain home dates to 1982, with 45% 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 West Mountain it is usually noisy operation from grit-packed, under-lubricated rollers — 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 dust-fouled tracks that bind and throw the door off level. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
