Garage door questions, answered for Murphy

In Murphy it is usually swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity — 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 sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.

The median Murphy home dates to 1979, with 52% of the stock built before 1980 — a real mix of original and already-replaced doors, which is why we quote repair-versus-replace honestly on every call.

Jefferson County, Missouri, takes in Murphy and the communities around it. We treat all of it as one service area — Murphy and neighbors like Fenton, High Ridge, Valley Park, and Sunset Hills — with trucks staged to keep dispatch times short and the same flat-rate pricing in every community.

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Murphy: with warm and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, and intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, the common failure modes are swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. Our Murphy trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.
