Garage door repair and installation across Waukegan — springs, openers, cables, off-track doors, and new door installations for older bungalows, detached garages, and west-side subdivision homes. Same-day service from our Mundelein office.
Complete Garage Door Repair has served Waukegan for 15 years from our shop on Townline Rd in Mundelein, a short run east on Route 120 (Belvidere Road). Our own trained technicians handle every repair and install, so a Waukegan homeowner deals with us from the first call to the final test.
Waukegan is the largest city in Lake County and one of the most varied — early-1900s bungalows and historic homes with detached, alley-access garages near downtown and the harbor, mid-century houses in between, and newer subdivisions out on the west side. Add the wind, damp, and road salt coming off Lake Michigan, and you get doors that rust, stick, and wear out faster than they should. We repair, replace, and weatherproof all of them, with clear pricing and a written estimate first. See all of our garage door services.
We'll respond within 1 hour during business hours.
The repairs Waukegan homeowners call us for most, each backed by a written estimate.
A snapped torsion spring is our most common Waukegan call, and the older single- and double-width doors here have often run on the same springs for decades. We weigh the door, fit a correctly rated spring set, and rebalance it so it lifts smoothly again.

Old opener straining on a cold morning, or none at all on a detached garage? We install reliable belt- and chain-drive units with battery backup, wire up detached garages, and program every remote and keypad.

A door off its track won't open and can't be forced safely. On Waukegan's older doors, rusted rollers and salt-worn hardware are usually behind it. We reseat each section, replace bent track and worn rollers, and reset the cable tension so it runs true.

From frayed cables to a full door replacement, we cover the rest of your Waukegan garage door needs too.
A dead remote, a grinding motor, or a door that won't budge in the cold usually points to a worn gear, a capacitor, or a sensor knocked out of line. We diagnose on-site and replace only the failed part.

Frayed or rusted cables — common this close to the lake — pull a door crooked and can jam it in the opening. We fit a matched pair, check the drums and bottom brackets, and rebalance both sides so it travels level.

The spring on our old detached garage downtown finally gave out. They matched a new set the same week and it opens easy again. Fair price, no runaround.

Living near the lake, our cables rusted through and the door jammed shut. They replaced everything with coated parts and it's smooth again. Honest and quick.

We had no working opener on the detached garage. They wired it up and installed a reliable one with battery backup. Great work at a good price.
