A blinking garage door sensor in Tuscaloosa almost always means the two photo-eyes aren't seeing each other. It's usually a quick alignment or cleaning.

In Tuscaloosa, the weather is often part of the story behind a garage door sensor blinking. Months of heat and humidity mean humidity corrodes hardware and falling limbs dent panels across Tuscaloosa County — exactly the kind of wear a local tech knows to check first.
