Garage door questions, answered for Kenwood

Kenwood sits in four distinct seasons of muggy summers and freezing, snowy winters, with wide annual temperature extremes. That is hard on a door — freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware, road salt and snowmelt that corrode the lowest hardware, 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 humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, corroded low brackets from winter slush, doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, and openers straining against cold-thickened grease. We size springs and seals for Ohio's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Kenwood is humidity-swollen wood doors in summer. Kenwood has mostly suburban single-family homes with attached garages, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, so corroded low brackets from winter slush turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

Census data puts 80% of Kenwood homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1965) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.
