Garage door questions, answered for Capitol Heights

Capitol Heights sits in Maryland's humid subtropical region — a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity. That's hard on a door: high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity and rusted track hardware and seized rollers. We size springs and seals for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

Most Capitol Heights homes were built around 1964, and 61% 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.
