Older homes often carry extension springs stretched along the tracks; newer ones use a torsion bar above the door. We work on both, and we can convert one to the other when it makes sense.

What the winter left behind
In this climate the foot of the track is where trouble collects. Slush and salt carried in on the tires settle in the bottom few inches, freeze overnight into ridges and leave a brine that attacks steel. The technician looks for corrosion on the bottom rollers and their stems, rust on the bottom brackets, ice damage or flat spots on wheels that have been skidding rather than turning, and the state of the lifting cables that share that wet corner.
Finding salt damage here steers the recommendation toward sealed-bearing rollers and a thorough track cleaning, and occasionally toward new bottom brackets as well.
