With roughly 4,726 households in Arlington and a median household income around $125,909, this isn't the stretch of our territory where we're coaxing forty-year-old hardware along. It's a newer-build area, and the income level here tends to push people toward full opener or door replacement rather than a patchwork repair when something fails mid-life.
The region overall falls in a cold-moderate climate band, and that still applies here - temperature swings stress weatherstripping and bottom seals regardless of when the house was framed. But the structural bones of an Arlington garage - the track width, the header clearance, the way the door was hung - follow 2000s building practice, not the practice from the 70s through 90s that dominates older sections of our coverage area.
