How does the climate in West Dundee, IL affect my garage door?
West Dundee sits in Illinois's continental-climate region — a humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons. That's hard on a door: freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen 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 doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings and humidity-swollen wood doors in summer. We size springs and seals for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.
How old are most garage doors in West Dundee?
Most West Dundee homes were built around 1986, and 45% predate 1980 — so a lot of doors are still on their original springs and openers, well past rated cycle life. We check door balance and hardware age on every visit.
