North Carolina's weather can be tough on garage doors. Hot, humid summers and cold, damp winters put stress on springs and openers. Wood garage doors, popular here, can expand and contract with moisture. This can make them heavier and harder to lift, stressing the springs. Regular checks are important to catch problems early.

Garage door springs typically last for many cycles, not just years. The exact lifespan depends on how often you use your garage door. Heavy use in a busy Raleigh household can shorten their life. We can assess your springs and tell you if they're nearing the end of their life.
