We treat Altoona like our home turf because it is. Crews stage out near Bondurant, Pleasant Hill, Mitchellville, and Saylorville too, so dispatch times stay short and most repairs across Polk County wrap up in a single visit.

Because Altoona has four distinct seasons of muggy summers and freezing, snowy winters, with wide annual temperature extremes, the doors here age differently than inland or coastal homes elsewhere. The usual culprits are ice that binds the bottom panel to the threshold, doors frozen to the slab on the coldest mornings, and wide seasonal swings that work bolts loose over time — exactly what our techs come prepared for.

The repair board in Altoona fills up with the same culprits: openers straining against cold-thickened grease, humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, corroded low brackets from winter slush, and cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter. Each is a one-visit fix with parts already on the truck.

Our coverage map centers on Polk County, where Polk County, Iowa, takes in Altoona and the communities around it. Altoona and Bondurant, Pleasant Hill, Mitchellville, and Saylorville are all on our daily routes.

Altoona runs a mixed-age housing stock (median build year 1998), roughly 27% pre-1980, so we see both first-generation doors and aging replacements.

Our Altoona service area doesn't stop at the city line. We cover neighboring Bondurant, Pleasant Hill, Mitchellville, and Saylorville too, so a single dispatch handles the whole corridor.
