The Real Problems Friendswood Homeowners Call About
We've repaired hundreds of garage doors across Friendswood. The pattern is clear — local conditions drive specific failures:
Issue 1: 40-year-old wood door panels rotting at bottom
Friendswood's clay soil shifts garage slabs seasonally. The result: doors that close at an angle, gaps at corners, and rails that grind because the track is no longer plumb. This isn't a spring problem — it's a foundation problem that requires frame adjustment, not just spring tension tweaks.
Issue 2: Craftsman opener from 1995 finally died
Friendswood's 1970s-1980s homes have original wood panel garage doors that are reaching 40-50 year lifespans -- unique replacement market
Issue 3: flood water destroyed opener electronics
Post-Harvey rebuilds in flood-affected homes created demand for elevated garage door openers mounted high on walls rather than ceiling tracks
