No idea. And we moved.

Overheard doors did the work, but they are just a chain that works on a few (all?) brands.

Next year (or maybe now; you have a lot of winter left), glaze your windows. They sell the film at Lowes and you can get crystal or frosted.

And get a dehumidifier.

And TIL that you can adjust a garage door spring with just two cheap rods.

When we had the insulation/tension thing done, the guy had a huge (like size of his arm) wrench-looking specialized tool to adjust the springs. Maybe he had the limited-edition Porsche and not the used Hyundai.

Garage door springs have to be re-adjusted when insulation is added. The weight of the door changes too much.

The only way to adjust that tension is with a special (expensive) tool. Sounds like they did the DIY part but didn't hire the tech to tweak the spring.
