Winters in West Pierce County bring their fair share of challenges—from heavy rains and freezing winds to biting cold that creeps into every corner of your home. For Tacoma and Spanaway homeowners, ensuring your garage door is ready for winter is just as important as sealing your windows or checking your roof. Your garage door is more than a visual feature—it’s a critical defense against the elements.
