Garage door questions, answered for Harwood Heights

In Harwood Heights it is usually ice- and snow-jammed tracks — and because the area has mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, we also see a lot of freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Harwood Heights: with humid continental climate — hot and cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor, doors frozen to the slab on the coldest mornings, and wide seasonal swings that work bolts loose over time, the common failure modes are ice- and snow-jammed tracks, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, and corroded low brackets from winter slush. Our Harwood Heights trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.

About 72% of Harwood Heights's housing predates 1980, with a median build year of 1967; on doors that age, worn springs, tired openers, and brittle weather seals are the norm rather than the exception.
