Garage door questions, answered for Princeton

Princeton sits in a humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons. That is hard on a door — winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks, cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor, and wide seasonal swings that work bolts loose over time all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are ice- and snow-jammed tracks, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, corroded low brackets from winter slush, and loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings. We size springs and seals for Missouri's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.

Census data puts 83% of Princeton homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1966) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.

The call we get most in Princeton is ice- and snow-jammed tracks. Princeton has mostly suburban single-family homes with attached garages, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, so freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.
