Garage Door Maintenance & Tune-Ups
A garage door opens and closes more than 1,000 times a year. A yearly tune-up catches worn parts before they leave you stuck.

Most garage door breakdowns give warning signs first: a door that gets louder, slower or shakier, a spring with visible gaps or rust, cables starting to fray. A professional tune-up finds and fixes these early, when they're quick and inexpensive to address.
Our maintenance visit covers the whole system — door, hardware and opener — and ends with a written note of anything that will need attention soon.

Garage Door Maintenance & Tune-Ups: common questions
How often should a garage door be serviced?
Once a year for most homes. Doors used many times a day, and commercial doors, benefit from service every six months.
What lubricant should I use on my garage door?
A silicone or lithium-based spray made for garage doors. Avoid heavy grease on tracks — it collects dirt — and never lubricate nylon rollers' wheels.
How do I test my garage door's auto-reverse?
Place a piece of wood or a roll of paper towels flat on the floor under the door and close it. The door should reverse when it touches the object. If it doesn't, stop using the opener and have it serviced.
