Garage door questions, answered for Cotati

The call we get most in Cotati is broken torsion springs on high-cycle suburban doors. Local housing is predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, so frayed lift cables on aging sectional doors turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

Cotati sits in California's Mediterranean climate region — a mild Mediterranean climate of warm, dry summers and gentle, damp winters, with low annual rainfall and abundant sun. That's hard on a door: intense afternoon UV that dries out weather seals and bottom gaskets and long dry spells that crack aging weatherstripping all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are broken torsion springs on high-cycle suburban doors and frayed lift cables on aging sectional doors. We size springs and seals for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

Most Cotati homes were built around 1984, and 39% 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.
