Garage door questions, answered for Lakeshore

Census data puts 67% of Lakeshore homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1970) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.

The call we get most in Lakeshore is pitted galvanized hardware on older doors. Lakeshore has mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, so storm-driven debris and water in the tracks turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

Lakeshore sits in hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year. That is hard on a door — summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms. We size springs and seals for Louisiana's humid subtropical region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
