Garage door questions, answered for Sunset

In Sunset it is usually corroded bottom brackets on older coastal doors — and because the area has predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, we also see a lot of storm-driven water and debris in the tracks. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.

About 69% of Sunset's housing predates 1980, with a median build year of 1970; on doors that age, worn springs, tired openers, and brittle weather seals are the norm rather than the exception.

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Sunset: with consistently warm and constant humidity that swells wood doors and rusts steel hardware, relentless UV and salt that degrade rubber weatherstripping, and salt spray on coastal homes that pits galvanized parts, the common failure modes are corroded bottom brackets on older coastal doors, storm-driven water and debris in the tracks, corroded springs and cables on salt-air homes, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors. Our Sunset trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.
