Garage door questions, answered for Havana

The call we get most in Havana is corroded low brackets from winter slush. Havana has mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, so freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

Yes. Mason County is part of Illinois, and we work the whole footprint: Havana plus nearby Lewistown, Cuba, Manito, and Canton. Same licensed, insured crews and 10-year workmanship guarantee county-wide.

Havana sits in a humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons. That is hard on a door — winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks, ice that binds the bottom panel to the threshold, 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 corroded low brackets from winter slush, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, 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.

Census data puts 84% of Havana homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1959) — old enough that many garages still run their original springs, opener, and seals, all long past rated life.
