Garage door questions, answered for Alva

Alva sits in Florida's tropical climate — a hot, humid tropical climate — warm temperatures year-round, heavy rain, salt-laden air, and a long storm season. That's hard on a door: year-round salt-marine air that corrodes springs, cables, and fasteners and constant humidity that swells wood doors and rusts steel hardware all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are rusted track hardware and seized rollers near the water and degraded weatherstripping from constant UV and salt. We size springs and seals for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

Most Alva homes were built around 1985, and 36% predate 1980 — so a lot of doors are still on their original springs and openers, well past rated cycle life. We check door balance and hardware age on every visit.
