Garage door questions, answered for Lansing

The call we get most in Lansing is ice- and snow-jammed tracks. Lansing has a blend of established single-family neighborhoods and newer subdivisions, most with attached garages, so freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

Census data puts 81% of Lansing homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1960) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.

Lansing sits in a humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons. That is hard on a door — summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel, spring damp that rusts unsealed cables and brackets, and winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are ice- and snow-jammed tracks, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, and loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings. We size springs and seals for Michigan's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
