What garage doors go through in the Olympia area
Olympia sits at the southern tip of Puget Sound and gets more rain than Seattle does. From fall through spring, the ground can stay soaked for months. Moisture creeps into wood doors and the frame around them, steel hardware rusts at the joints, and lubricant washes off quicker than people expect. A door that groans every time it moves is usually telling you something. Our guide to common garage door noises helps sort out which sounds matter and which can wait.
Cold here is usually more frost than snow, but the area does get a hard freeze now and then and a snowfall that lingers. On the coldest mornings a bottom seal can stick to the slab, and an opener pushing against it can strain itself or reverse. Our page on cold weather problems explains what is going on. Keep hands off the springs and cables in any season, since they are under high tension.
Lacey and Tumwater have grown steadily, and much of the housing in both is newer, with attached two-car garages and insulated steel doors. Newer does not mean maintenance free. Springs lose tension with use, rollers wear, and builder-grade openers are often the first part to complain. Closer to downtown Olympia, on the older streets of the westside and eastside, you find older homes with smaller garages that have weathered many decades of rain.
South and east of the cities, Thurston County opens into prairie and farmland around Rochester, Littlerock, Tenino, Rainier and Yelm. Homes there tend to sit on bigger lots with long driveways, detached shops and garages that see dust in the dry months and mud in the wet ones. Grit in the tracks and on the rollers adds wear over time. A spring and fall checklist is an easy way to keep up between yearly tune-ups.

Questions from homeowners in the Olympia area
Is DoorGuard available in Olympia, Lacey and Tumwater?
Yes. DoorGuard serves 21 ZIP codes in Thurston County, including Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, Yelm, Tenino, Rochester, Rainier, Littlerock and Bucoda. Coverage is set by ZIP code, so use the checker on this page to confirm your address is in.
Our winters are mostly rain. Is a yearly tune-up enough?
For most homes, yes. Wet months wash away lubricant and rust the hardware, so a yearly visit that lubricates all moving parts and inspects the springs, cables, rollers and hinges goes a long way. The tune-up also tests door balance and the opener safety features. Homes with two doors, or doors that get heavy use, may like the Complete plan with two tune-ups a year.
My garage door got loud this year. Should I worry?
Not always, but it is worth a look. Squeaks often mean dry rollers or hinges. Grinding, popping or a loud bang can point to worn rollers, an opener problem or a spring issue. A tune-up lubricates the moving parts and inspects the springs and cables. Please do not adjust springs yourself, since they carry a lot of tension.
What if I want to cancel later?
You can cancel anytime, with no penalty. There is no contract and no setup fee, and billing is monthly on the date you joined. To cancel, just send an email or call (877) 257-6027.
