Garage door questions, answered for St. James

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in St. James: with warm and salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, and high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, the common failure modes are rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors, and swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity. Our St. James trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

In St. James it is usually rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs — 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 rusted track hardware and seized rollers. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
