Garage door questions, answered for Melissa

The call we get most in Melissa is rusted track hardware and seized rollers. Melissa 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.

With a median Melissa home built around 2014 (just 4% pre-1980), the doors here are relatively young, so maintenance and opener upgrades outweigh major rebuilds.

Melissa sits in a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity. That is hard on a door — intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, and salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are rusted track hardware and seized rollers, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, corroded springs and cables in the humid air, and degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture. We size springs and seals for Texas's humid subtropical region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
