Garage door questions, answered for Fort Hood

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Fort Hood: with hot and high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, the common failure modes are pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms. Our Fort Hood trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

Coryell County is part of Texas. We treat all of it as one service area — Fort Hood and neighbors like Killeen, Copperas Cove, Harker Heights, and Nolanville — with trucks staged to keep dispatch times short and the same flat-rate pricing in every community.

In Fort Hood it is usually pitted galvanized hardware on older doors — and because the area has predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, we also see a lot of swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.

About 67% of Fort Hood's housing predates 1980, with a median build year of 1977; on doors that age, worn springs, tired openers, and brittle weather seals are the norm rather than the exception.
