Garage door questions, answered for Silvis

Silvis runs a mixed-age housing stock (median build year 1976), roughly 54% pre-1980, so we see both first-generation doors and aging replacements.

Silvis 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 — winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks, wide seasonal swings that work bolts loose over time, and doors frozen to the slab on the coldest mornings all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are ice- and snow-jammed tracks, loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings, doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, and warped or sagging panels after years of freeze-thaw. We size springs and seals for Illinois's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Silvis is ice- and snow-jammed tracks. Silvis 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.
