That crack wasn't an oak limb — it was the spring — across Myers Park, Dilworth, Eastover, SouthPark, Cotswold, Madison Park, Foxcroft.
In this part of Charlotte a spring failure gets mistaken for a falling limb — one hard crack from the garage, then a door that won't lift and an opener straining against dead weight. Leave it down and call: a wound spring still stores brutal energy, and spring work is where garage-door injuries actually happen.
We size every replacement from the door itself — measured weight, wire gauge, coil length and diameter — because this market runs from light builder doors in the newer blocks to heavy carriage-style and custom wood faces on renovated homes, and chart guesses fail exactly where doors cost most. Coated high-cycle springs, correct turn counts, tested until the door floats.
Piedmont humidity never quite leaves the garage, and it works springs the slow way — moisture settling into the coils, pitting the steel, every pit a future crack. Then the first real cold snap of January arrives and collects the tired ones before sunrise. Coated, high-cycle pairs with honest headroom over the door's weight are how we take your mornings off that list.
