Garage door questions, answered for Savannah

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Savannah: with hot and salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, and frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, the common failure modes are rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, and pitted galvanized hardware on older doors. Our Savannah trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

In Savannah it is usually rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs — and because the area has a mix of mid-century single-family homes and newer suburban subdivisions, most with attached two-car garages, we also see a lot of swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
