Heat, water and hurricanes: garage doors in Louisiana
Southeast Louisiana is warm and wet nearly all year. The humidity off the Gulf, the lake and the river keeps everything damp, and a garage holds that moisture in. Hinges, spring ends, roller bearings and the screws in the panels can rust quietly, and mildew can grow on wood doors and trim. Heavy downpours are routine, and water that runs under a worn seal sits on the slab. Our guide on garage door care in humid, coastal areas has the details.
Hurricane season is the big one. From early summer into fall, storms in the Gulf put every homeowner from Plaquemines and St. Bernard up to St. Tammany on watch. A garage door is a large, flat surface, and strong wind pushes it hard. A door with loose hardware or a weak track is more likely to bow or come off its rollers. Look over our storm season prep guide before the season starts, and again when a storm is named.
The ground matters here too. Much of the New Orleans area is built on soft, low ground that settles over time, and a slab or driveway that has shifted can leave the door closing unevenly, with a gap at one corner that lets in water and pests. Our page on an uneven gap at the bottom of the door explains why that happens and why the fix is not always the door itself.
Housing changes as you leave the city. Many older homes in New Orleans have no garage at all, or a narrow driveway and a carport. Metairie and Kenner are full of postwar and later homes with attached garages. Across the lake, Mandeville, Covington and Slidell have newer subdivisions, and Hammond, Denham Springs, Thibodaux and LaPlace mix older and newer neighborhoods. After a storm, resist the urge to pull on a bent track or a loose cable. The spring system holds enough force to cause real injury.

Can the yearly tune-up help a door get ready for hurricane season?
It helps the door be in sound working shape going into the season. The tune-up inspects springs, cables, rollers and hinges, lubricates all moving parts, tests the door's balance and runs the opener safety test. Loose hardware and worn parts get flagged, and if something needs repair, members get priority scheduling and see the labor price before any work begins.
How does scheduling work for members?
Members request a visit through the site or by calling (877) 257-6027. Repairs get priority scheduling, and you ask for the yearly tune-up the same way. Exact timing depends on availability in your area. Late spring, before the Gulf gets active, is a sensible time to have it done.
We are getting ready to sell. Does the garage door matter?
Buyers and inspectors do try the garage door, and a noisy or uneven door stands out. A tune-up before listing gets the door lubricated, balanced and checked, and the opener's safety features tested. Our guide to getting a garage door ready before selling a home covers the rest.
