Common Garage Door Issues

The Hoover climate presents challenges for garage doors, like rust, swelling wooden panels, and parts wearing out from temperature swings. Our technicians address these issues during maintenance to ensure your door performs well every day.

We often see faster corrosion in hardware near Lake Wilborn or in areas where standing water or humidity is common, such as flood-prone neighborhoods. We may recommend weather-resistant finishes or enhanced sealing so your doors can handle the local environment. Taking action early helps your doors stand up to the climate and reduces the need for repairs down the road.

We also make sure each job follows local safety rules for garage door systems and that your maintenance aligns with Hoover's and Alabama's current building codes. Staying up to date on these guidelines not only keeps your door safer but also helps you avoid fines.
