Excerpt from The Hag: The Life, Times, and Music of Merle Haggard

Excerpt from The Hag: The Life, Times, and Music of Merle Haggard by Marc Elliot

"In August, Jim was finally well enough to go back to work when the stock market crashed and the housing market collapsed, crushing any hope of his finding carpentry jobs. The work from the Arvin building boom that had started after the oil rush ended, and even daywork in the fruit fields, was difficult to find. Not only were decent-paying jobs scarce, but the great influx of more than a million migrants from the Midwest had turned native Californians hostile; they didn't like these migrants invading their home turf, settling on their land, taking the few jobs available because they were willing to work for lower wages.  They also didn't like them for bringing all their misery, poverty, filth, and squalor with them to what had once been a peaceful, God-fearing valley. The native Californians (and Arizonans) called them “Okies” and “Arkies” the same way they referred to African Americans, migrant Mexicans, and Asians as “niggers,” “wetbacks,” and “chinks" in the bars at night and after church services on Sundays. They often played cruel jokes on them, like putting out fresh fruit on the side of Route 66, with the police staked out behind the bushes and arresting those that stopped and took the bait, mistakenly believing, it was a welcoming offer of free food."

Garage Door Company In Bakersfield

Ask any Bakersfield homeowner what they take for granted until it breaks, and the garage door is near the top of the list.

From Downtown, Seven Oaks, Rosedale to the surrounding Kern County, the same handful of problems come up again and again. This guide covers what causes them and when garage door company in Bakersfield is worth a professional call.

How the local climate wears doors down

Bakersfield sits in a mild Mediterranean climate of warm, dry summers and gentle, damp winters, with low annual rainfall and abundant sun. That matters for garage doors because it means fine road and yard grit that grinds rollers over time.

In practice, the failures techs see most around here are drifting travel limits on aging chain-drive openers, sun-faded, brittle weather seals along the bottom panel, and corroded low brackets on homes near the coast. None of these are signs of a bad door — they're the predictable result of years of local weather working on steel, springs, and seals.

Repairs that come up most in Bakersfield

The majority of calls fall into four buckets: broken torsion or extension springs, failing openers, frayed lift cables, and doors that have jumped their tracks. A balanced door lifts with one hand — if yours fights you, the spring is usually the culprit.

Most of these are same-day fixes for a stocked local crew. You can see the full read more and typical pricing before anyone comes out.

Next steps

If your door is unsafe to operate by hand, stop using it until it's inspected. Otherwise, find out more or call [phone] for a flat-rate quote — no surprises, licensed local techs.
