Garage door questions, answered for Brooklyn Heights

In Brooklyn Heights it is usually doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings — and because the area has mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, we also see a lot of freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Brooklyn Heights: with four distinct seasons of muggy summers and freezing and freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware, cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor, and summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel, the common failure modes are doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, and loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings. Our Brooklyn Heights trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

About 84% of Brooklyn Heights's housing predates 1980, with a median build year of 1961; on doors that age, worn springs, tired openers, and brittle weather seals are the norm rather than the exception.
