As temperatures plummet across Naperville and surrounding Illinois communities, your garage door faces unique challenges that could lead to unexpected issues. At Garage Doors USA, we’ve seen firsthand how harsh winter conditions can affect these essential home components.
Common Winter Garage Door Issues:
- Contracting metal components that affect proper weatherstripping and seal integrity
