What garage doors go through in New York
Garages in the outer boroughs work in tight spaces. In Queens, Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn and the Bronx, many attached homes have a garage set below street level at the bottom of a short, steep driveway. Rain and snowmelt run straight downhill toward the door, and a drain that clogs with leaves can leave water standing against the bottom seal. That keeps the lowest panel and the track ends wet. Our page on the garage door bottom seal explains how a worn seal lets water in.
Long Island has the ocean on one side and the Sound on the other. Few homes in Nassau and Suffolk are far from salt water, and nor'easters push wind-driven rain at doors through the colder months. Salt and moisture work on springs, hinges and fasteners, so rust tends to show up sooner here than upstate. Our guide to garage door care in humid, coastal areas covers the signs.
North of the city the trouble is cold. Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Dutchess and Ulster counties get real snow and long stretches of freezing nights. Many homes there are older, on hilly wooded lots, and some still have detached garages with wood doors. Cold thickens grease so the door moves slowly and the opener strains, and wood takes on moisture and can swell. Our cold weather guide explains what is happening on a stubborn winter morning.
Wherever you are in the state, a door that sees heavy daily use slowly loses balance as its springs weaken. The opener then takes on more of the load and wears out sooner. A yearly tune-up tests that balance, checks the springs and cables, looks over the rollers and hinges and lubricates the moving parts. Spring and cable work is dangerous because of the tension involved, so please leave it to a professional.

My garage is below the street. Does that change anything?
It can. Downhill driveways send water and road salt to the door, which wears the bottom seal and corrodes the lower track and panels. The yearly tune-up inspects the springs, cables, rollers and hinges, lubricates every moving part, tests the door's balance and runs the opener safety test, so water and salt damage is noticed early.
We are selling the house next year. Does a tune-up help?
Buyers and inspectors do notice a door that is loud, slow or out of balance. A tune-up before listing gets the door running smoothly and tells you about any worn parts while there is still time to deal with them. Repair labor is priced up front with member savings.
