Why does my garage door have a gap on one side of the floor?

On South Austin clay the slab often lifts or settles unevenly, so the floor is no longer level with the door. We check that the door itself is balanced and square, then install a larger bottom seal that follows the concrete. If the gap keeps growing, a foundation company should look at the slab.

I use my garage as a gym. Can the door be made quieter and cooler?

Usually, yes. Nylon rollers and a belt drive opener take most of the noise out, and an insulated door slows the heat coming through a west-facing wall of steel. If you want the door open with the bugs out, a Lifestyle retractable screen runs on its own tracks alongside it.

My house still has its original one-piece tilt-up door. Can it be repaired?

Sometimes, but parts for one-piece doors are getting hard to find, and the big side springs are dangerous when they wear. If the hardware is sound we can service it. If not, a sectional door on new tracks is the safer fix, and you can price one online before we visit.

Shifting Ground

Garage Door Repair for South Austin's Clay Soil

Much of South Austin sits on clay that swells when it rains and shrinks in a dry summer. Garage doors feel it first.

East of MoPac, a lot of South Austin is built on Blackland clay. It swells after a wet spring and pulls back during a dry August, and the slab moves with it. A garage door is a big square hung in that opening, so it shows the movement early — a gap under one corner, a door that rubs one track, a lock that stopped lining up.

The fix is usually adjustment, not replacement. We re-square the tracks to the opening as it sits today, reset the opener's travel limits, and swap the bottom seal for one that follows the floor. If the springs or rollers have been fighting that bind for years, we will show you the wear and quote it before touching anything.
