Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Berlin: with four distinct seasons of muggy summers and freezing and cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor, winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks, and summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel, the common failure modes are cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, and freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals. Our Berlin trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

In Berlin it is usually cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter — and because the area has mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, we also see a lot of doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
