Garage door questions, answered for Larchmont

Census data puts 90% of Larchmont homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1938) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.

The call we get most in Larchmont is openers straining against cold-thickened grease. Larchmont has predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, so loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

Larchmont 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, freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware, and spring damp that rusts unsealed cables and brackets all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are openers straining against cold-thickened grease, loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings, ice- and snow-jammed tracks, and doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings. We size springs and seals for New York's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
