Garage door questions, answered for St. Augustine

St. Augustine runs a mixed-age housing stock (median build year 1976), roughly 52% pre-1980, so we see both first-generation doors and aging replacements.

St. Augustine sits in hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year. That is hard on a door — corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, corroded springs and cables in the humid air, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms. We size springs and seals for Florida's humid subtropical region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
