Garage door questions, answered for McDade

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in McDade: with humid subtropical climate — long 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 degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. Our McDade trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

In McDade it is usually degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture — 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 moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
