Garage door questions, answered for Lafayette

The call we get most in Lafayette is freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals. Lafayette has mostly suburban single-family homes with attached garages, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, so warped or sagging panels after years of freeze-thaw turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

Census data puts 61% of Lafayette homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1969) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.

Lafayette 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, ice that binds the bottom panel to the threshold, 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 freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, warped or sagging panels after years of freeze-thaw, ice- and snow-jammed tracks, and openers straining against cold-thickened grease. We size springs and seals for Indiana's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
