Garage Door Repair in Conway, SC

Conway is the Horry County seat, thirteen miles inland on the Waccamaw River. Less salt than the beach, more river, and a housing stock that runs from old downtown streets to new subdivisions along US 501.

Inland is easier on hardware

Thirteen miles from the ocean makes a real difference to how fast springs, hinges and rollers rust. A door in Conway generally keeps its hardware longer than the same door on the oceanfront in Myrtle Beach, and spring failures here are more often plain wear (a spring that has done its cycles) than corrosion. Heat and humidity are still the same, so openers and keypads suffer much as they do on the coast.

The river is the local risk

Conway's flood risk comes from the Waccamaw. Matthew set a record crest in 2016 and Florence beat it by several feet in 2018, when water went into homes along Long Avenue, in Pecan Grove and around Sherwood Drive. A garage is usually the lowest room in the house, and floodwater reaches the bottom section of the door, the bottom brackets, the rollers and the photo-eye sensors before anything else. If yours has been in water, have the cable attachment points checked even if the door seems to work; they are under full spring tension and rust from the inside of the bracket.

Old town and new subdivisions

The streets around downtown and the older neighbourhoods near the river have smaller and older garages, some with single doors and extension springs. Toward Myrtle Beach along US 501 and SC 544, near Coastal Carolina University, the subdivisions are newer, two-car and torsion-sprung. Many of those were built in the same years, so their springs and openers are reaching the end of their lives at roughly the same time.

Permits in Conway

The City of Conway handles permits inside city limits. Many addresses with a Conway mailing address are outside the city in unincorporated Horry County, and permits there go to the county. For repairs, permits rarely come up; for a replacement door that changes the opening, ask whichever office covers your address.

Conway questions

Is Conway inside your service area?

Yes. Conway is about 13 miles from Myrtle Beach and well within the area Grand Strand garage door companies cover, including the subdivisions toward Coastal Carolina University.

My garage flooded in a river flood. Should the door be replaced?

Not automatically. Check the bottom section, the bottom brackets, the rollers and the sensors. If the steel on the bottom panel has rusted through, that section or the door may need replacing; if not, replacing the damaged hardware is usually enough.

Do I need a hurricane-rated door this far inland?

The wind requirement drops with distance from the coast, but Conway still sees hurricane-force gusts in big storms. For a replacement, the permit office sets the minimum, and a rated door is worth considering regardless.

What does spring replacement cost in Conway?

About the same as in Myrtle Beach. Local companies generally quote $250 to $450 for a pair of torsion springs on a standard two-car door.
