Homes in Warwick: what pros run into
Much of Warwick filled in after World War II, and its streets are lined with capes, ranches and raised ranches that now carry 50 to 70 years of wear. Apponaug is the city's historic center and home to City Hall, with older homes mixed in among newer commercial strips.
In March 2010 the Pawtuxet River reached record flood levels and swamped homes, businesses and the city's sewer plant. Attached one- and two-car garages are common on post-war ranches and raised ranches, and many still use original-style tracks with newer openers bolted on.
Doors facing Greenwich Bay or Narragansett Bay in Oakland Beach and Warwick Neck take more wind and salt than inland doors, and their springs and hardware rust sooner. Nor'easters and the occasional hurricane remnant hit the bay side of the city hardest, often bringing power outages and roof damage.
Utilities, permits and licensing
Garage door springs hold a lot of tension, and a broken spring is one of the most common calls in cold weather. Do not try to adjust or replace torsion springs yourself. Contractors who install doors in Rhode Island are generally required to register with the Contractors' Registration and Licensing Board, and you can look up a registration online.

Questions from Warwick residents
Do garage door installers need to be registered?
In Rhode Island, contractors doing building and repair work generally must register with the Contractors' Registration and Licensing Board. Ask for the number and check it.
Why is my garage door so loud?
Worn rollers, loose hardware and dry hinges are common causes. A tune-up usually helps, and nylon rollers can make a big difference.
Do contractors need a permit in Warwick?
Many jobs do, including most electrical, plumbing, heating and roofing work. Permits are issued by Warwick's building department. The licensed pro doing the work usually pulls them.
