San Jose has one of the most diverse housing markets in the Bay Area. You'll find everything from 1950s ranch homes in Willow Glen to modern townhomes downtown, and each type comes with its own garage door challenges. Older homes often have original hardware that's been patched over the years, while newer construction sometimes uses builder-grade components that wear out faster than homeowners expect.

The weather here is gentler than inland valleys, but that doesn't mean your garage door gets a free pass. Morning fog brings moisture that rusts springs and corrodes cables. Temperature swings between seasons cause metal components to expand and contract, which is why we see a spike in broken springs every fall and spring. Most residential torsion springs last about 7 to 9 years with normal use, not the 10 or 15 years some manufacturers claim.
