What is different about Seabrook

Windstorm area: part

Only the parts of Seabrook east of State Highway 146 or in Galveston or Chambers County are in the Texas Department of Insurance's designated catastrophe area. Addresses there are treated like the coast: most homes need a certificate of compliance for a TWIA policy, and TWIA names garage doors among the improvements that need to be certified. Addresses elsewhere in Seabrook are not in the area. If you are not sure which side you are on, ask before a door is replaced.

Half built before 1991

Half the housing in Seabrook was built before 1991. An opener installed with a house that age, and never replaced, predates the federal rule: openers made for sale after January 1, 1991 had to reverse on contact, and a second, external protection, usually photo-eye sensors near the floor, was required from 1993. No sensors near the floor is the sign to look for.

Freezes: 9 days a year

On average there are 9 days a year with a low at or below 32°F at the NOAA climate normals station nearest Seabrook, about 10 miles away. When a freeze does come, a door held by ice along its bottom edge is worth checking before the opener is blamed.

What broke?

What you will be asked

  • What stopped working, in one sentence.
  • The door: panels or one piece, one car or two, and roughly how old.
  • The springs: a coil above the door or springs beside the tracks, and whether one shows a gap.
  • The brand on the opener’s motor housing, and about how old it is.
  • Whether the door is up or down now, and whether a car is inside.

The line takes repair, replacement and installation of garage doors and openers, for owners and renters, at homes and at commercial buildings. It is not for buying parts, doors on box trucks and trailers, or a price quoted over the phone without a visit. The price is named after someone has seen the door.
