Garage door questions, answered for Sparks

The call we get most in Sparks is UV-cracked bottom seals letting dust into the garage. Sparks has predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, so sand-jammed tracks and seized rollers turns up often too.

Sparks sits in an arid desert climate — extreme summer heat, intense year-round UV, negligible rainfall, and blowing sand and dust. That is hard on a door — 120°F summer heat that bakes and warps steel panels, fine dust that fouls photo-eye safety sensors, and extreme thermal cycling that loosens every fastener all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are UV-cracked bottom seals letting dust into the garage, sand-jammed tracks and seized rollers, heat-warped panels on sun-facing doors, and dust-blinded photo-eye safety sensors. We size springs and seals for Texas's arid desert region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.

With a median Sparks home built around 1993 (just 18% pre-1980), the doors here are relatively young, so maintenance and opener upgrades outweigh major rebuilds.
