A garage door that feels too heavy in Spokane Valley almost always means the springs are worn or broken. A properly balanced door should lift with one hand.

In Spokane Valley, the weather is often part of the story behind a garage door feels too heavy. Months of sub-zero cold mean deep cold snaps springs and road salt corrodes hardware across Spokane County — exactly the kind of wear a local tech knows to check first.
