Seattle's housing landscape runs the full spectrum. You've got century-old Craftsman homes in Ballard and Queen Anne with original carriage-style garage doors, mid-century ramblers in West Seattle, and newer construction throughout South Seattle and Georgetown. Each style brings its own garage door challenges, from outdated hardware on vintage homes to modern opener systems that need programming expertise.
The Pacific Northwest climate does a number on garage door components. Constant moisture causes springs to rust faster than in drier climates. Wooden doors swell and warp. Metal tracks accumulate condensation that freezes on those rare cold snaps, and the constant damp means rollers and cables wear out quicker than the manufacturer estimates. Most springs last 7 to 9 years here, not the 10,000 cycles you'll see advertised.
