Garage door questions, answered for Sumner

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Sumner: with four distinct seasons of muggy summers and freezing and cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor, road salt and snowmelt that corrode the lowest hardware, and summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel, the common failure modes are humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, and ice- and snow-jammed tracks. Our Sumner trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

In Sumner it is usually humidity-swollen wood doors in summer — 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 rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.

About 88% of Sumner's housing predates 1980, with a median build year of 1943; on doors that age, worn springs, tired openers, and brittle weather seals are the norm rather than the exception.
