Garage door questions, answered for Lincoln

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Lincoln: with humid continental climate — hot and freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware, cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor, and summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel, the common failure modes are humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, warped or sagging panels after years of freeze-thaw, rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, and ice- and snow-jammed tracks. Our Lincoln trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

About 79% of Lincoln's housing predates 1980, with a median build year of 1965; on doors that age, worn springs, tired openers, and brittle weather seals are the norm rather than the exception.

In Lincoln it is usually humidity-swollen wood doors in summer — and because the area has mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, we also see a lot of warped or sagging panels after years of freeze-thaw. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
