The widest age mix of the four neighboring villages
According to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey for 2020-2024, Romeoville has about 13,768 housing units with a median year built of 1999. About 40 percent were built from 2000 to 2009 and about 19 percent in the 1990s, but about 14 percent date from the 1960s and about 8 percent from the 1970s. That means doors and openers from the 1960s to the 1980s sit beside ones from the 1990s and 2000s, and the oldest are well past the age when springs and cables wear out.
About 69 percent of the village's homes are single-family detached houses and about 17 percent are attached, such as townhomes, and about 81 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied. We could not verify whether any neighborhood is gated, master-planned or association-governed, so ask your association, if you have one, before you change a door.
Tell us your cross street and whether the door is a single, a double or a pair, and we book the soonest visit. We weigh and balance each door before choosing new springs.
- Older single-car doors from the 1960s and 1970s
- Original openers on 1990s homes
- Townhome doors with shared walls

Real reviews from our Google listing, copied as the customers wrote them.
Called the office to let them know my issues and asked if we could get someone out to look at my door. Was told between 11-12...drove home from work at 11:05 and Emil was waiting and ready to get to work. Not knowing anything about how to fix a garage door, Emil did a great job explaining why I was having issues. Quoted a reasonable price (well at least what I thought was reasonable) and less than 40 minute later he had fixed the problem. Great customer service from intake of the call to fixing my door! If you need a garage door repair...support local business and give them your business, you won't be disappointed.Guadalupe · Google review
My garage door and opener were pretty banged up and not working properly. Emil Garage Doors came out, did a thorough evaluation of door and all it's parts. Even though the previous home owner rigged up the garage door opener with the wrong springs and parts, Emil repaired the door and saved us money by using some of the old parts. That kind of honesty will get 5 stars all day long. Thank you Emil Garage Doors for your great service.Bradford · Google review
I woke up to a loud crash when a tree in my front yard fell over and hit my garage door. Emil Garage Doors was able to give be a really good price on a new garage door. They uninstalled the old, damaged door and realigned the tracks the garage door connects to which had been damaged as well. The new door looks great and most importantly functions well. Thank you for going above and beyond in my time of need!Stuart · Google review
They were able to come within a few hours of my call. Another company could only give me a 4 hour window of arrival time the next day, but these guys was able to give me a 2 hour window the same day. One the guys called before arriving. He was friendly and competent in explaining the problem and our options. I was so grateful he had replacement springs and was able to fix our garage door in less than an hour.David · Google review
Not paying attention I closed the garage door on a pipe laying in the track. Needless to say it did some damage even though the automatic reverse opened the door back up. Emailed what happened on Sunday evening. Appointment with quote provided in just a few minutes and appointment confirmed. Once again they arrived on time. Completed repairs quickly and for less then the quote. Cleaned up like they were never there. I highly recommend them and will continue to use them for my garage door repairs.Carroll · Google review
Technician showed up on time, assessed our issue & presented replacement options. He proceeded to install new equipment during the same visit and everything was finished in less than two hours. We were impressed with the performance of our tech. It’s easy for us to recommend this company.Kathleen · Google review

What Romeoville weather does to a garage door
Romeoville has no station table of its own, so we use the Joliet Brandon Road Dam station, about 8 miles south. Its 1991-2020 normals give a January average high of 31.1 degrees and a low of 16.6, a July high of 83.6 and about 38 inches of precipitation a year. Snowfall figures from the two nearest stations differ a lot, so we give none for Romeoville. Cold stiffens grease and weatherstripping, loads the opener and can break a spring that has many cycles on it.
Chicago fell to minus 23 degrees in the January 2019 polar vortex, the coldest in 34 years, according to the National Weather Service. The August 10, 2020 derecho covered Kendall and Will counties, and ComEd said at one point that more than 800,000 customers lost power across its territory, according to news reports. We could not verify Romeoville-only damage or outage figures. In a long outage, know where your manual release is.
Twice a year, wipe the tracks, lubricate the rollers and hinges, and test the safety reverse. Before a hard freeze, clear ice from the bottom seal so the door does not freeze to the slab.
- Clear ice from the bottom seal in winter
- Lubricate rollers and hinges twice a year

Opener safety, permits and design rules in Romeoville
Safety reverse and sensors. A home garage door opener sold in the United States has to reverse the door on contact and have photo-eye sensors or an equivalent entrapment protection device, under the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission standard (16 CFR part 1211). A door that closes on an object, or an opener with dead sensors, needs repair before further use. See opener installation.
Associations. Check any HOA or historic district rules before you order a new door, and see new garage doors for style options.
City permits. Romeoville is an incorporated village with its own government. Community Development and Building is at Village Hall, 1050 W. Romeo Road, phone 815-886-7200, and its website is romeoville.org. The village's Building Permits page says permits are generally required for most home improvements and that starting work without one can bring a fine or a stop-work order. It does not mention garage doors, overhead doors or openers, so we could not confirm whether a garage door replacement needs a permit. Ask the department before the work. The village's Contractors Registration page says all contractors, subcontractors and plumbing contractors working in Romeoville must register with the village; it states no fee, insurance or bond figures, so ask the village what applies.
State rules. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation's list of regulated professions has a roofing contractor category but no garage door, overhead door or general contractor category, so we found no state garage door contractor license. The Illinois Attorney General's home repair page says contractors should give you the Home Repair Consumer Rights document on jobs valued at $1,000 or more and describes a written contract that names the contractor and lists the work, dates, total cost and payment schedule. It also gives you 3 business days to cancel a contract you signed at home (15 business days if you are 65 or older).

Romeoville garage door repair: questions we hear
Is there garage door repair near me in Romeoville?
Yes. Emil Garage Doors repairs garage doors in Romeoville (ZIP 60446) and the neighborhoods next door. Call (312) 620-1952, tell us your street or neighborhood and what the door does, and we book the soonest visit. See garage door repair near me.
What is the average price to repair a garage door in Romeoville?
Typical prices: a 12-point safety inspection is $89, a torsion spring pair for a standard two-car door is $250 to $450 (heavy-duty springs $350 to $900), a cable pair is $175 to $350, and a belt-drive opener installed with battery backup is $550 to $900. The final price is confirmed after we see the door.
What is the most common garage door repair in Romeoville?
Broken torsion springs are among the most common garage door repairs, because springs wear out after a set number of open-and-close cycles. Cables, rollers, safety sensors and off-track doors follow. See garage door spring repair.
How much is a service call for a garage door?
Our 12-point safety inspection is $89. It covers the springs, cables, rollers, tracks, sensors and opener, and we explain what we find before any repair starts.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a garage door?
A repair is usually cheaper when the door itself is sound and only a spring, cable, roller or sensor failed. Replacement makes sense when panels are bent or rotted, the door is very old or the opening needs a different size. We tell you which one fits before we start.
Which ZIP codes do you serve in Romeoville?
Romeoville's standard ZIP code is 60446. Call us if your address is near Bolingbrook, Lockport or Crest Hill and you are not sure we reach it.
Do you service older garage doors in Romeoville?
Yes. Romeoville has more homes from the 1960s and 1970s than the villages around it, according to Census estimates, and doors and openers from that era are often on a second set of springs or due for one. We weigh and balance the door and explain what we find before we quote.
Do you repair garage doors after a storm in Romeoville?
Yes. Strong wind can bend tracks or push a door out of its frame, and a falling branch can dent panels. We inspect the track, panels, springs and opener, explain what we find and quote the price before we start.
Can a handyman fix a garage door?
A handyman can handle a sensor or a roller. Springs and cables are under high tension and need a trained technician, so we do not recommend fixing them yourself.
How do I test my garage door's safety reverse and sensors?
Close the door with the opener, then lay a 2x4 flat on the floor in the door's path. The door should touch it and reverse. For the sensors, start the door closing and pass a broom handle through the beam near the floor. The door should stop and go back up. If either test fails, stop using the automatic close and call us for a repair.
