Why Regular Garage Door Maintenance Matters

Prevent Costly Repairs: Routine maintenance can catch minor issues before they become major problems, saving you money on expensive repairs.


Extend Door Lifespan: Proper maintenance helps prolong the life of your garage door, ensuring it continues to operate smoothly for years to come.


Improve Safety: A well-maintained garage door is safer to use, reducing the risk of accidents caused by broken springs, cables, or tracks.


Enhance Energy Efficiency: Properly insulated and maintained doors can help regulate your home’s temperature, reducing energy bills.

  • Full Safety Inspection: We’ll inspect your entire garage door system, including springs, cables, tracks, rollers, and the opener, to ensure everything is functioning properly.
  • Lubrication of Moving Parts: Keeping parts like hinges, rollers, and tracks well-lubricated reduces friction and helps your door operate more quietly and efficiently.
  • Spring Tension Adjustment: Over time, springs can lose their tension, making the door harder to open or close. We’ll adjust the spring tension to ensure smooth operation.
  • Opener Inspection: We’ll check your garage door opener for proper alignment and operation, including testing the safety sensors to make sure they’re functioning correctly.

Track and Roller Alignment: Misaligned tracks or worn rollers can cause uneven door movement. We’ll adjust or replace any parts as needed to prevent further damage.

Signs Your Garage Door Needs Maintenance

FAQs About Garage Door Maintenance

Here are some frequently asked questions to help you understand garage door maintenance, why it matters, and what to expect.

  • What is garage door maintenance and why is it important?

    Garage door maintenance involves inspecting, lubricating, adjusting, and repairing parts like springs, cables, tracks, rollers, and the opener. Regular maintenance helps prevent costly repairs, improves safety, and extends the life of your garage door. It also ensures your door operates smoothly and quietly. 

  • How often should I get my garage door serviced?

    For most homeowners and businesses, a professional garage door maintenance service once a year is usually sufficient. If your door is used very frequently, is older, or exposed to harsh weather, you may benefit from semi-annual checkups. Regular checkups help catch small issues before they become big problems. 

  • Which parts of my garage door are checked during maintenance?

    A full safety inspection includes springs, cables, tracks, rollers, and the opener. Technicians also check alignment, lubrication, and sensor function. If any part shows wear or damage, it’s repaired or replaced to keep the system working safely and efficiently. 

  • What signs indicate my garage door needs maintenance or repair?

    Look out for noisiness (squeaking, grinding, rattling), slow or uneven movement, visible wear on springs or rollers, or a door that doesn’t open or close fully. These symptoms can suggest worn parts, misalignment, or lubrication issues. Early attention can save time and money. 

  • Can I do garage door maintenance myself or should I hire a professional?

    You can do some basic maintenance tasks yourself like lubricating hinges and rollers, cleaning tracks, or visually inspecting for damage. However, for safety-critical components such as springs, cables, and the opener mechanism, it’s best to hire a professional. Professionals have the tools and expertise to adjust tension and inspect sensors safely.
