Garage door questions, answered for Winona

Census data puts 75% of Winona homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1957) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.

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

Winona sits in long stretches of bitter cold and snow load, with a short warm season and big seasonal temperature swings. That is hard on a door — deep winter cold that stiffens springs and grease, brittle, cold-cracked weatherstripping along the bottom panel, and cold-thickened opener grease that bogs down the motor all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are ice- and snow-jammed tracks, ice dams binding the bottom panel to the threshold, rusted hardware from repeated snowmelt and road salt, and cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter. We size springs and seals for Minnesota's cold northern climate conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
