Need it now? Call usA garage door that feels too heavy in San Jose almost always means the springs are worn or broken. A properly balanced door should lift with one hand.
Why does this keep happening in San Jose? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Coastal salt air and inland heat takes its toll — salt air corrodes hardware, and daily use wears rollers — so a garage door feels too heavy is one of the more common calls our San Jose crews run.
