A garage door frozen shut in Chapel Hill usually just needs the ice seal broken — but repeated freezing can damage the bottom seal, rollers, or opener.

Living with Chapel Hill's heat and humidity means garage doors work harder here than most people realize. storms surge opener boards and falling limbs dent panels both feed straight into a garage door frozen shut, which is why our Orange County techs treat the cause, not just the door in front of them.
