Garage Door Rust in Las Vegas’ –
Most Las Vegas homeowners are shocked when they spot orange flakes on their garage door. “How is there rust in the desert?” The truth? Our unique climate creates perfect rust conditions. At Pacific Experts Garage Door Repair, we’ve developed specialized techniques to combat this issue.
The Hidden Causes of Garage Door Rust in Vegas
1. Micro-Condensation Cycles
– Summer nights (70°F) vs. daytime (115°F) = metal sweating
– Example: A Henderson client’s door showed rust after just 18 months
2. Dust Magnet Effect
– Fine particles absorb morning dew
– Creates abrasive, moist paste against metal
3. Construction Factors
– Many Vegas homes built with:
– Lower-grade steel doors
– Thin factory paint
– No rust-proof undercoating
