What to know about garage doors in Boise
Deep cold does reach Boise
The National Weather Service in Boise noted that lows of 11 below zero on January 6, 2017, and 10 below the next day were the city's coldest temperatures since it hit 25 below on December 22, 1990, and that January 2017 was Boise's snowiest month since December 1983. A garage door that sticks or strains is much harder to deal with in that weather, so have a slow or noisy door looked at before winter.

Test the auto-reverse every month
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advises inspecting your garage door and opener every 30 days. Lay a 2x4 on the floor in the door's path; if the door does not reverse when it hits the board, disengage the opener until it is adjusted, repaired or replaced. Openers made for sale in the U.S. after January 1, 1991 must have a reversing system, and since 1993 they also need an external safety device such as an electric eye, which should sit 4 to 6 inches above the floor.

Ask about permits for bigger jobs
The City of Boise's homeowner guide lists new door openings, widening or narrowing an existing opening, and building or adding a garage as work that needs a building permit, and installing or changing hard-wired electrical as work that needs an electrical permit. For a door or opener replacement, ask your contractor whether any permit applies and who will pull it. Source: City of Boise: Homeowner's Guide to Building Permits
Check the license
Idaho has no separate garage door license; contractors who build, alter or repair structures register with the Idaho Contractors Board at the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL) under the Idaho Contractor Registration Act, with an exemption for a single minor job under $2,000. Ask for the registration number and check it with DOPL's registration search before work starts. Source: official licensing page
