A garage door that opens slowly in Mount Vernon is often dry rollers, a weak opener, or a speed setting. A tune-up usually solves it.

Why does this keep happening in Mount Vernon? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Freezing winters takes its toll — cold snaps brittle springs, and road salt corrodes hardware — so a garage door opens slowly is one of the more common calls our Mount Vernon crews run.
