Speccing a door for Katy
half the homes in Katy were standing by 2003, so replacements typically inherit the original dimensions and skip the framing complications. The smart upgrade money goes to the counterbalance — high-cycle springs specified now cost a fraction of the retrofit later.
A complete quote here itemises removal and disposal, new track, springs matched to the new door's weight, and re-limiting of the opener, with the installer carrying the permit. When one bid undercuts the field, check which of those it dropped before celebrating.
How Katy compares next door
Drive fifteen minutes and the inputs change — Richmond's median build year is 1979 at 125 mph design wind; Rosenberg's median build year is 1994 at 125 mph design wind; and Sugar Land's median build year is 1994 at 125 mph design wind.
Against that backdrop, Katy holds 6.8 cycles at 135 ft with a 2003 median build year — the specific inputs behind every figure above.
