Garage door questions, answered for Lake Kerr

Lake Kerr sits in hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year. That is hard on a door — summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, mildew and moisture on shaded, north-facing doors, and damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms. We size springs and seals for Florida's humid subtropical region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.

Census data puts 55% of Lake Kerr homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1977) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.

The call we get most in Lake Kerr is swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity. Lake Kerr has mostly suburban single-family homes with attached garages, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, so mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.
