March 3, 2020
The EF3 tornado that crossed Wilson County on March 3, 2020 destroyed hundreds of homes in Mt. Juliet and killed three people. It came from the same storm that hit Nashville that night, and it caused the kind of damage to garage doors, doors blown in and tracks torn loose, that insurance exists for.
When damage is that broad, replacing the entire door usually clears a $1,000 deductible easily, and the claim is worth filing. Where only one section is bent, compare two estimates before you file, because straightening a panel and adding a strut may cost less than the deductible itself. We write both for free. Our panel replacement page explains the repair side of that choice.
Why are Mt. Juliet’s garage doors so young?
Because the city is. Mt. Juliet incorporated in 1972 and had 2,879 residents in 1980; by 2010 it had 23,671, and by 2020, 39,289. Census estimates put 32% of homes in the 2010s, 26% in the 2000s, 13% in the 1990s, 12% in the 1980s and 7% since 2020, with almost nothing before 1960.
Add the doors replaced after the 2020 storm, and a large share of the garage doors in Mt. Juliet are under twenty-five years old. Those mostly need routine work: a broken spring, a cable off its drum, a sensor knocked out of line. Our cable repair and spring replacement pages cover the two most common.
The exception is the 12% of Mt. Juliet homes from the 1980s. If those still have their first door, it’s past forty, likely uninsulated, and the kind of door where a single dented section can’t be matched any more. On one of those houses a new insulated door is a real change, especially where the garage shares a wall with a bedroom.
Two lakes and an hour’s drive
Mt. Juliet sits between Old Hickory Lake to the north and Percy Priest Lake to the south, and Charlie Daniels Park is here too. From our base it’s about 47.6 miles, roughly 57 minutes with no traffic, one of the longer trips we make into Wilson County.
We’ll be honest about what that means for timing on the day you call. Planned work, a new door or a new LiftMaster opener, books the same as it would anywhere closer. And if you’re still deciding between repair and replacement on a door the tornado left crooked, that’s a conversation we can start on the phone.
Answers
Mt. Juliet garage door questions
Can a garage door damaged in the 2020 Mt. Juliet tornado still be repaired?
Often, if it’s been running since. A door that took a hit in the March 3, 2020 tornado may have a bent section, a twisted track or a strained opener. We can straighten and strut a panel, replace a section where it can still be matched, or quote you a new door.
When is it worth filing an insurance claim for a garage door in Mt. Juliet?
When the repair costs more than your deductible, which is commonly $1,000 or more. A whole door lost to wind, like many in Mt. Juliet in March 2020, usually clears it. A single bent panel often doesn’t. Ask us for a free estimate both ways and compare the two before you file.
How much of Mt. Juliet was built after 2000?
About two-thirds. Census estimates put 26% of Mt. Juliet homes in the 2000s, 32% in the 2010s and 7% since 2020, with almost nothing before 1960. The city went from 2,879 residents in 1980 to 39,289 in 2020, so most of its garage doors were hung in the last twenty-five years.
Will Kingdom Doors come out to Mt. Juliet for a broken spring?
Yes, though it’s close to an hour each way: about 47.6 miles and 57 minutes from College Grove without traffic. We’ll give you a straight answer on timing when you call. A broken spring leaves the door too heavy for the opener, so leave it closed and stop pressing the button.
