A standard residential garage door weighs between 150 and 400 pounds, and the springs that counterbalance that weight store a tremendous amount of energy. For the safety of you and your family in Monmouth, please keep these important warnings in mind before attempting any work on your garage door system:

The Mid-Willamette Valley region shares the Portland Metro area's rainy winters but experiences slightly warmer summers and more frequent valley fog. Agricultural communities in the region add rural property needs to standard residential service. Agricultural properties with gate access should schedule service before rainy season. Understanding these local conditions helps you plan maintenance and catch problems early.
