Winter in Somerville is long and hard, the housing stock is old, and many garages are unheated and uninsulated. This is what we actually find here, and what we check on every visit.
Salt tracked in on tires all winter sits in the lower track and on cable strands across Somerville, and it corrodes exactly the parts that carry the door. Cables fray from the bottom up here, and hinges stiffen until the opener has to drag the door open.
Many Somerville homes still run heavy older doors - some wood, some early steel - on hardware that predates modern safety sensors. Those doors can be repaired and made safe, but they need a tech who checks balance and cables honestly instead of selling around them.
Coastal storms drive rain and wet snow sideways at Somerville doors and test every track anchor and panel seam. After a big storm, a door that suddenly runs rough or leaks at the sides deserves a look before the next freeze locks the problem in.
A dead door in a Somerville January is not an inconvenience - it can mean no car, no plow access and a garage open to the weather. That is why a door that will not close, or a car trapped by a snapped spring, goes to the front of our dispatch list.

Do not keep running the opener: a door bonded to the floor by ice can tear its bottom seal or strain the motor and top panel. Warm water along the seal frees most frozen doors in Somerville. If it still will not move, or it moved and now runs crooked, have it checked - ice in the track bends hardware.
Cold spring steel is less flexible, and winter is also when doors work hardest - heavier with ice, dragging through stiff grease. A spring already near its cycle limit often fails on a freezing morning in Massachusetts. Replacing springs in matched pairs is the fix; one new spring beside an old one wears unevenly.
Not necessarily. Cold weakens remote batteries, and an LED bulb fitted in the opener can interfere with its radio signal. It can also be a receiver starting to fail. The checks are quick and cheap before anyone talks about a replacement opener.
Usually a slow bump from a car - easy on an icy driveway in Somerville - or a cable frayed through by road salt letting one side drop. Leave an off-track door exactly as it is, keep everyone clear, and call: the door is under spring tension and pushing it makes things worse.
Late summer or early fall, before the cold arrives. Every neglected door in Middlesex County seems to fail the same week in January, and that is when schedules fill. A safety inspection in September means the first freezing morning is routine instead of a trapped car.
No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every garage door fails differently, so a phone price is a guess that changes at your door. Our estimates are free: a tech looks at the actual door, springs and opener, then gives you one clear price before any work starts.
