Why Porter's garage door hardware skews so new

The median home in ZIP 77365 was built between 2005 and 2010, and Valley Ranch, the 1,400-acre master-planned community by The Signorelli Company, has kept adding new housing components from 2008 through 2021. That steady, recent construction means a lot of Porter's garage door hardware is still within a normal service life, which shifts a large share of garage door repair calls here toward installation shortcuts and manufacturing defects rather than doors simply wearing out.

ZIP 77365's population is estimated at 48,113 as of 2024, nearly double the 25,769 people counted there in 2010.
