Garage door questions, answered for New Paris

Preble County, Ohio, takes in New Paris and the communities around it. We treat all of it as one service area — New Paris and neighbors like Eaton, Lake Lakengren, Lewisburg, and West Alexandria — with trucks staged to keep dispatch times short and the same flat-rate pricing in every community.

About 80% of New Paris's housing predates 1980, with a median build year of 1954; on doors that age, worn springs, tired openers, and brittle weather seals are the norm rather than the exception.

In New Paris it is usually humidity-swollen wood doors in summer — and because the area has predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, we also see a lot of rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in New Paris: with humid continental climate — hot and humid summers that seize hinges and rollers, spring damp that rusts unsealed cables and brackets, and freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware, the common failure modes are humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, corroded low brackets from winter slush, and openers straining against cold-thickened grease. Our New Paris trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.
