What we’d tell you over the bottom rail.
Written the way we talk on site: plainly, in order, and without a price attached, because an honest number needs eyes on the door. Start with the read; everything else follows from it.
The read
Reading a garage door from the bottom up
Why a door ages from the bottom, the four checks that tell you most of its story, what the lake adds to the wear, and the exact point where looking should stop and booking should start.
The verdictRepair or replace: the level answer
How we call it on site: age, fault, and what the bottom rail says. Three worked reads from this patch, the things that actually drive the cost of each path, and the two wrong answers we refuse to give.
More guides land here as we write them. If there’s a question you wanted answered and didn’t find, put it in the enquiry form; the answer is free either way.
