Garage door questions, answered for Clarinda

Clarinda 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 — wide seasonal swings that work bolts loose over time, doors frozen to the slab on the coldest mornings, and winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks 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, cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, and openers straining against cold-thickened grease. We size springs and seals for Iowa's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Clarinda is ice- and snow-jammed tracks. Clarinda 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.

Census data puts 78% of Clarinda homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1958) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.
