It's official. I love Roebuck Door Company! Paul & Bill both rocked big time. And when I want to replace my garage door opener remote, or to get a second one, I know where to go.

(Yes, big box stores'n'such have 'em, or I could order online. But I know the one I get from Paul's company will work, and the $35 price is utterly competitive with the offerings at Blue and Orange.)

In related news, I learned that my springs have safety wires, so if they break they won't hit me or my car. And that my doors are cedar, in good shape, and would be "very expensive" to replace (which I wasn't anticipating doing, but it bears out my previous experience that when the Shorettes were here, they went for premium materials and good workmanship).

As unexpected home repair adventures go, this one ranks "splendidly."

One of the nice things the previous owners of this house did was have a sticker with the name of the garage door repair company they use in the garage by the opener. The company on the sticker has been acquired, but the phone number still works, and the successor company has done a great (and affordable!) job both times I needed them.

I'm glad you had as good an experience with your problem garage door.
