Storm-Proofing Your Garage Door for Midwest Weather
Midwest storms can roll in fast, bringing high winds, hail, heavy rain, and even tornadoes. Your garage door is often the largest moving part of your home—and one of the most vulnerable during extreme weather. At 614 Garage Door, we want to help protect your property and give you peace of mind before the next storm hits.
Why Storm-Proofing Matters:
A weak or damaged garage door can fail under pressure, leading to:
Water damage to your garage and home interior
Structural damage from high winds
Risk of flying debris breaking through panels
Compromised security after the storm
How We Help You Get Storm-Ready
Minor dents, broken springs, or misaligned sensors are usually simple fixes. However, if your door has significant structural damage—like large cracks, rotting panels, or warping—it might be safer and more cost-effective to replace it entirely.
Instead of guessing whether your garage door can handle Midwest weather, let our team handle the prep:
Full Inspection & Reinforcement Check: We inspect your door’s tracks, springs, and panels to ensure everything is secure. If reinforcements are needed, we’ll recommend the best solutions.
Install Wind-Resistant Garage Doors: For homes in high-risk areas, we offer garage doors built to meet strict wind-load requirements, designed to hold up in severe storms.
Upgrade to Heavy-Duty Hardware: We can install stronger hinges, brackets, and rollers that add critical durability under pressure.
Seal & Weatherstrip: Gaps and cracks can let water and debris in. We seal your garage door properly to keep it tight and weatherproof.
Post-Storm Service & Repairs: If your garage door takes a hit, our emergency repair service gets you secured again quickly.
