What New England weather does to a garage door

Winter is the long test here. Snow piles against the bottom of the door, meltwater freezes overnight, and the rubber seal can stick to the concrete until the opener has to yank it loose. Years of freeze and thaw also heave driveways and aprons, which can leave a gap on one side of the door. Road salt tracked in on tires sits on the floor and creeps up the lower panels and track brackets. If your door hesitates on a cold January morning, our guide on garage doors that won't open in the cold explains the usual reasons.

Along Narragansett Bay and Buzzards Bay the trouble is salt and wind. Homes in Newport, Bristol, Warwick, Narragansett, Fairhaven and the Dartmouths take damp, salty air most of the year, and that air works on springs, hinges, roller stems and fasteners. Nor'easters push rain sideways into the gaps at the sides and top of the door, and late summer can bring a tropical storm up the coast. A door with sound hardware handles that weather far better than one that has been ignored. See storm season prep for garage doors and our note on rust on garage doors.

The housing is old by national standards. Providence, Pawtucket, Fall River and New Bedford are full of triple-deckers and older homes, many with a narrow driveway and a small detached garage out back. Those garages often have wood doors, original framing and openers added decades after the building went up. Wood swells in wet weather and shrinks in dry winter heat, and an older door can drift out of balance without anyone noticing. Out in Easton, Mansfield, North Attleboro and Somerset, it is more often a colonial or a cape with an attached two-car garage that gets daily use.

Springs and cables on any of these doors are under high tension, so leave them alone and do not try to adjust them yourself. The yearly tune-up is where that work belongs. A member visit includes lubrication of every moving part, a balance test, an opener safety test and a close look at the springs, cables, rollers and hinges. Before any repair, you see the price first, and members pay less for repair labor. Owners of wood doors may want our wood garage door care guide between visits.

Do road salt and sea air in Rhode Island wear out a garage door faster?

They can. Salt from winter roads and salt carried on the air near the bay both speed up rust on springs, hinges, rollers and fasteners, and on the lower edge of steel panels. The yearly tune-up lubricates all moving parts and inspects that hardware, so corrosion gets spotted while it is still small and the door keeps moving smoothly.

My garage is behind an older house in Providence. Is the membership still worth it?

Older doors are often the ones that need the most attention. The yearly tune-up checks balance, springs, cables, rollers and hinges and tests the opener's safety features, which matters on a door that has been running for many years. If a repair is needed, you see the price before work starts and members get savings on repair labor.

Is there a contract, and how do I cancel?

There is no contract and no setup fee. You are billed monthly on the date you joined. If you decide to stop, cancel anytime by email or by calling (877) 257-6027, and there is no penalty for leaving.
