Garage door questions, answered for Farmington Hills

The call we get most in Farmington Hills is doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings. Local housing is mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, so humidity-swollen wood doors in summer turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

Most Farmington Hills homes were built around 1979, and 53% predate 1980 — so a lot of doors are still on their original springs and openers, well past rated cycle life. We check door balance and hardware age on every visit.

Farmington Hills sits in Michigan's continental-climate region — a humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons. That's hard on a door: freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware and winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings and humidity-swollen wood doors in summer. We size springs and seals for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.
