Garage door questions, answered for Pontiac

Pontiac sits in Michigan's continental-climate region — a humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons. That's hard on a door: freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware and winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are ice- and snow-jammed tracks and warped or sagging panels after years of freeze-thaw. We size springs and seals for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

Most Pontiac homes were built around 1960, and 77% predate 1980 — so a lot of doors are still on their original springs and openers, well past rated cycle life. We check door balance and hardware age on every visit.

The call we get most in Pontiac is ice- and snow-jammed tracks. Local housing is mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, so warped or sagging panels after years of freeze-thaw turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.
