What Garland housing means for garage door repair
Downtown Garland is centered on a historic square. Garland Power and Light, owned by the city, supplies electricity.
Clay soil and dry summers can crack slabs and break buried lines. Attached garages are common in mid-century homes, and many still have original doors or openers past their prime. Much of the housing was built from the 1960s to the 1980s.
Summer heat is hard on opener motors and weather stripping, so a noisy or sticking door is common by August. Duck Creek runs through the middle of the city.
Before you call
Don't keep running the opener if the door is stuck. It can damage the motor.
Snap a photo of any labels or serial plates you can reach safely.
