With Altamont’s humid August days and sudden thunderstorms, your garage door takes a beating. We’re seeing a 20% spike in emergency repair calls this month—don’t let yours be one of them. A quick inspection now can save you hundreds in fall damage.
Check the weatherstripping along the Altamont door frame
Altamont’s late-summer humidity and overnight dew can warp wood garage doors and corrode metal tracks. Run your hand along the weatherstripping on both sides of the door frame—if it’s cracked, brittle, or peeling, it’s time for a replacement. We use high-grade vinyl seals that resist UV damage and keep critters out of your garage. Don’t wait for a raccoon to set up camp inside your walls. Schedule a free estimate and we’ll replace it with precision-fit material that lasts. Our white-glove crews leave no debris behind and offer a 1-year workmanship guarantee on all parts.
Test the auto-reverse on your Altamont opener before Labor Day
After weeks of kids riding bikes in and out of the garage and the opener getting soaked in sudden Altamont downpours, the auto-reverse safety feature may weaken. Place a 2x4 on the floor where the door closes—if it doesn’t reverse immediately when touched, your opener’s sensor needs adjustment. We’ve fixed three faulty sensors in Altamont just this week alone. Our technicians calibrate sensors to factory specs and test the force settings to meet CPSC safety standards. See our opener repair services or call us at (518) 555-0199 to book a same-day visit before the holiday weekend.
