Valley weather and Salem garage doors
Salem is a valley city, with the Coast Range to the west and the Cascades to the east. The valley floor stays wet through much of the fall, winter and spring. That steady moisture is easy to ignore, but it works on everything in a garage. Lubricant washes out or gums up, rollers start to stick, and the door gets louder. Our guide on how to lubricate a garage door explains which parts need it.
Ice can be the bigger threat. Every so often, freezing rain glazes the valley, brings down tree limbs and leaves neighborhoods without power. A door that cannot open on its opener during an outage is a real problem, and a door frozen to the floor should not be forced. Running through the spring and fall garage door checklist before winter sets in helps you spot trouble while the weather is still mild.
Near downtown and the Capitol, many homes are older, with small garages and doors that have hung through decades of wet winters. Panels on older doors can sag, especially on wood doors or long single doors without much bracing. A sagging panel throws off the way the door rides in its track and puts strain on the opener. See our guide on sagging garage door panels for the signs. A long wet winter only adds to the weight a tired panel has to carry.
South Salem climbs into the hills, and West Salem rises above the river on the Polk County side. Homes there are mostly newer, many with attached two-car garages on sloped lots. Hot, dry valley summers then dry out the seals that spent winter soaking. That swing from soaked to parched is what the yearly tune-up is there for: a balance check, a look at each moving part and a test of the opener's safety features. Springs and cables are the exception to any home fix, since their tension can cause real injury.

What does a wet valley winter do to a garage door?
Steady moisture rusts springs, cables and hinges and makes wood swell, while freezing rain can lock a door to the floor. The yearly tune-up includes lubrication of every moving part, an inspection of springs, cables, rollers and hinges, a balance test and an opener safety test. It is worth having done before the wet season settles in.
My door is old. Is it worth having it inspected?
Yes. Older doors often run fine until a worn part gives out. The full safety inspection looks at the springs and cables, rollers and hinges, tests balance and checks the opener's safety reverse. You get a clear picture of where the door stands, and if it needs work, the price is shown before anything begins.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. Membership is month to month, billed on the date you join, with no setup fee. You can cancel anytime by email or by calling (877) 257-6027, with no penalty. Plans are $19, $39 and $79 a month, depending on how many doors you have and how much you want included.
