Garage door questions, answered for Austin

About 76% of Austin's housing predates 1980, with a median build year of 1956; on doors that age, worn springs, tired openers, and brittle weather seals are the norm rather than the exception.

In Austin it is usually loosened hardware from repeated freeze-thaw — and because the area has mostly suburban single-family homes with attached garages, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, we also see a lot of freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.

We cover Austin Acres and Ramsey — including ZIPs 55912. If you are anywhere in Austin, you are in our service area — call (213) 221-2882 and we will confirm the next available window.

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Austin: with long stretches of bitter cold and snow load and heavy snow load and ice on doors and tracks, heavy snowpack that strains tracks and brackets, and rapid freeze-thaw that splits aging weather seals, the common failure modes are loosened hardware from repeated freeze-thaw, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, frozen, sluggish openers in unheated garages, and snow-load strain on tracks and brackets. Our Austin trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.
