What garage doors go through in Allen
Allen was a small farm town for most of its history, then filled in quickly as Dallas pushed north along US 75. Much of the city went up over a few decades in large neighborhoods of brick homes, many with two-car garages that open onto a rear alley. Doors from the earlier years may still be running on their original springs and openers. If yours has started to groan, pop or shudder, our guide to common garage door noises can help you sort out what you are hearing.
Under Collin County lies Blackland Prairie clay, dark soil that swells after rain and shrinks and cracks in a dry spell. Foundations here are designed with that in mind, but slabs and driveways still move a little over the years. When they do, a garage door can end up slightly out of square with its opening, leaving a wedge of daylight at one end along the floor. Read about an uneven gap at the bottom to see what that looks like.
Spring in Allen brings severe storms, with gusty wind and hail that can pock a steel door in a few minutes. Summer follows with long stretches of heat, and an alley-facing garage often takes the full afternoon sun. Heat dries grease off the rollers and hinges and stiffens the weatherstripping. Then a cold snap in winter can leave a door sluggish, or frozen to the floor for a morning.
In a busy household the opener may run many times a day, and small problems add up. The yearly tune-up keeps up with the basics: lubrication of all moving parts, a door balance test, a close look at the springs, cables, rollers and hinges, and the opener safety test that makes sure the door reverses when something is in its path. Springs and cables are under high tension. Leave any adjustment to a trained person.

Does North Texas clay soil really affect a garage door in Allen?
It can. As clay swells and shrinks, a slab can shift enough to leave an uneven gap under the door or nudge the tracks out of line, which makes the opener work harder. The yearly tune-up tests the door's balance, checks how it travels and inspects the springs, cables, rollers and hinges.
My door is loud every time it opens. Will a tune-up help?
Often, yes. Squeaks and grinding usually come from dry rollers and hinges, loose hardware or a door that has lost its balance. The tune-up lubricates all moving parts and tests balance. If a part needs repair, you see the labor price before any work starts, with member savings.
What happens if I want to cancel?
Just let us know by email or by calling (877) 257-6027. There is no contract, no setup fee and no penalty for cancelling. Billing is monthly on the date you joined, so you are never locked into a long term.
