Garage door questions, answered for Richmond

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Richmond: with mild Mediterranean climate of warm and winter damp that rusts low brackets and fasteners, fine road and yard grit that grinds rollers over time, and mild but steady humidity swings that quietly seize hinges, the common failure modes are dried, cracked bottom seals from constant UV, frayed lift cables on aging sectional doors, worn nylon rollers on doors cycled several times a day, and noisy, vibrating doors from loosened hardware. Our Richmond trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

In Richmond it is usually dried, cracked bottom seals from constant UV — 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 frayed lift cables on aging sectional doors. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
