Climate is half the story for a garage door in St. Clair County. Given four distinct seasons of muggy summers and freezing, snowy winters, with wide annual temperature extremes, Marissa doors wrestle with humid summers that seize hinges and rollers, wide seasonal swings that work bolts loose over time, and summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel.
In our experience around Marissa, the repairs that come up most are loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings, doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, and openers straining against cold-thickened grease. We'll show you exactly what failed and why before we touch a tool.
Safety inspections are formal, documented evaluations of the entire garage door system — useful for home sales (preempt buyer-inspection negotiations), insurance audits (some carriers require periodic verification), post-incident review (after a near-miss or actual injury), and rental-property compliance. The inspection covers every safety-critical component plus structural items, and produces a signed PDF report that meets the documentation needs of most buyers, insurers, and property managers.
Our standard report covers: UL-325 compliance (photo-eyes present, aligned, and triggering auto-reverse on obstruction test), spring health (visible wear, age, cycle estimate), cable health (fray, corrosion, secure termination), drum and shaft integrity (set-screws tight, drums spooled correctly), opener motor and gear health (audible inspection, force/travel calibration), photo-eye function, manual-release operation, balance verification, and structural items (track alignment, bracket fasteners, panel integrity, hinge condition). Every check is photographed and the report includes the photographs.
Inspections take 60–90 minutes. The signed PDF is emailed within 4 hours of completion. If we find issues, we present a separate flat-rate quote for any repairs — you can address them during the same visit, schedule a return, or share the report with the relevant party (buyer, insurer, etc.) and decide later.
