Keep Your Garage Door Running Smoothly

Annual tune-ups prevent breakdowns, extend door life, and catch small problems before they get expensive.

About Maintenance

Your garage door is the largest moving part of your house, and it goes up and down over a thousand times a year. An annual tune-up keeps everything running smoothly and catches worn parts before they fail. Most people don't think about maintenance until something breaks — regular tune-ups can prevent many expensive emergency repairs.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

Once a year is the standard recommendation. If you use your door heavily (4+ times daily) or have an older system (10+ years), twice a year isn't a bad idea. Think of it like an oil change — inexpensive prevention that saves you from big bills later.

What does a tune-up actually include?

We inspect and lubricate all moving parts (springs, rollers, hinges, tracks, cables), tighten hardware, adjust spring tension, test the opener's safety features, check weatherstripping, and test the balance of the door. We give you a written report of everything we found.

Can I do garage door maintenance myself?

You can do basic things: keep the tracks clean, spray white lithium grease on the rollers and hinges a couple times a year, and visually inspect cables for fraying. But spring adjustment, opener calibration, and safety testing should be done by a professional. Springs especially — don't touch those without training.

My door is noisy. Will a tune-up fix that?

In most cases, yes. Noise is usually from dry rollers, unlubricated hinges, or loose hardware — all things we address during a tune-up. If the noise is from old steel rollers, we can upgrade to nylon rollers for a modest additional cost. The noise difference is dramatic.
