Garage door questions, answered for Gladstone

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Gladstone: with temperate Pacific climate of damp winters and high humidity that seizes rollers and hinges, near-constant damp that swells and warps wood doors, and year-round moisture that never lets metal fully dry, the common failure modes are rust-seized springs and cables in the wet climate, corroded hinges seized by constant damp, moisture-faulted openers and sensors, and drooping panels from waterlogged wood. Our Gladstone trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

About 64% of Gladstone's housing predates 1980, with a median build year of 1976; on doors that age, worn springs, tired openers, and brittle weather seals are the norm rather than the exception.

In Gladstone it is usually rust-seized springs and cables in the wet climate — and because the area has mostly suburban single-family homes with attached garages, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, we also see a lot of corroded hinges seized by constant damp. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
