What is different about Kenedy County
Texas windstorm area
Kenedy County is among the 14 coastal counties the Texas Department of Insurance calls a designated catastrophe area. There, most homes need a certificate of compliance to buy a TWIA policy, and TWIA lists garage doors among the improvements that need to be certified. A door replaced without the windstorm inspection may make the home ineligible for a TWIA policy.

Mild winters
On average, Kenedy County has 11 days a year with a low at or below 32°F at the nearest NOAA climate normals station, about 8 miles away. In a freeze, the rubber seal along the bottom of a door can stick to the floor; free it before blaming the opener.
Renters call too
Most homes in Kenedy County are rented. The line on this site takes calls from renters as well as owners; who pays for the repair is a matter for the lease.

Who licenses the work in Texas
We did not find a separate Texas state license for garage door work. That is not the same as "no license needed": cities may require registration or permits, and electricians are licensed separately by the state. Check your city's requirements and ask for proof of insurance.
What you will be asked
- What stopped working, in one sentence: a bang and then the door would not lift, a crooked door, a door that goes back up.
- The door: sectional panels or one solid piece, one car wide or two, and roughly how old.
- The springs: a coil on a bar above the door, or springs along the tracks, and whether one shows a gap.
- The name on the opener’s motor housing, and roughly how old it is.
- Whether the door is open or closed right 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.
