Garage door questions, answered for Clarendon Hills

Clarendon Hills sits in warm, wet summers and cold winters with snow and ice, driving repeated freeze-thaw cycles on exterior hardware. That is hard on a door — wide seasonal swings that work bolts loose over time, road salt and snowmelt that corrode the lowest hardware, and winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, and openers straining against cold-thickened grease. We size springs and seals for Illinois's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.

Clarendon Hills runs a mixed-age housing stock (median build year 1979), roughly 51% pre-1980, so we see both first-generation doors and aging replacements.

The call we get most in Clarendon Hills is rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt. Clarendon Hills has predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, so loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.
