With Newmarket’s August heat and sudden summer storms, now’s the time to inspect your garage door before it fails. Small issues like misaligned tracks or worn seals can turn into costly repairs or safety risks. Frank & Raymond Garage Door’s Repairs Inc is offering free estimates to help homeowners get ahead of peak season breakdowns.
Why August is the right time to check your Newmarket garage door
Newmarket’s August weather swings from humid 80°F afternoons to sudden downpours and even the occasional microburst. These conditions stress garage doors more than winter ice: rubber seals dry out faster in heat, metal expands unevenly, and storm debris can knock tracks out of alignment. A door that sticks or sags now won’t wait until fall—it’ll fail during the next heatwave or storm. Check your door’s balance and weather seals now before the next system overload. If you spot gaps wider than a credit card or hear grinding when opening, call us for a free estimate at Contact us. We’re licensed, insured, and serving Newmarket and nearby towns like Epping and Brentwood.
What to look for in your Newmarket garage door this week
Start with the obvious: does your door open smoothly or jerk halfway up? That’s often a cable or spring issue tied to Newmarket’s humidity cycles. Next, check the weather seal along the bottom—if it’s cracked or peeling, summer storms will push water under your door and onto your floor. Look at the tracks too; a bent track near the opener can’t be fixed with WD-40—it needs professional realignment. Finally, test the auto-reverse: place a 2x4 on the floor and close the door. If it doesn’t stop and reverse immediately, the sensor needs adjustment. These aren’t just nuisance fixes—they’re safety upgrades. Book a free safety inspection before your next barbecue.
