Michigan's climate means your garage door spring works hard. Freezing temperatures can make metal brittle, and heavy snow can add extra weight. Then, the summer humidity can cause parts to expand and contract. This constant cycle wears down springs. That's why regular checks are important, especially before winter hits. We see a lot of older homes here, with various styles of steel garage doors. Older doors might have different spring systems than newer ones. Knowing this helps us provide the right fix.
