Garage door questions, answered for Flora

In Flora it is usually corroded low brackets from winter slush — 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 warped or sagging panels after years of freeze-thaw. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.

About 70% of Flora's housing predates 1980, with a median build year of 1958; on doors that age, worn springs, tired openers, and brittle weather seals are the norm rather than the exception.

Clay County sits in Illinois. We treat all of it as one service area — Flora and neighbors like Louisville, Fairfield, Olney, and Salem — with trucks staged to keep dispatch times short and the same flat-rate pricing in every community.

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Flora: with humid continental climate — hot and cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor, summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel, and wide seasonal swings that work bolts loose over time, the common failure modes are corroded low brackets from winter slush, warped or sagging panels after years of freeze-thaw, rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, and humidity-swollen wood doors in summer. Our Flora trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.
