Garage door questions, answered for Mount Airy

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Mount Airy: with hot and high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and mildew and moisture on shaded, north-facing doors, the common failure modes are corroded springs and cables in the humid air, mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, and swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity. Our Mount Airy trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

Mount Airy's housing skews new — a median build year of 1995, only 17% built before 1980 — so most doors are first-generation: the common work is tune-ups, spring break-in, and opener setup rather than rust repair.

In Mount Airy it is usually corroded springs and cables in the humid air — and because the area has predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, we also see a lot of mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
