Garage Door Maintenance & Tune-Ups

Signs it’s time for a tune-up

• It’s been more than a year since your last service
• The door is getting noisier
• Movement is jerky or slower than usual
• Weather seal is cracked or letting in light
• Rollers or hinges look worn
• You want to avoid surprise breakdowns

What’s included in our maintenance service

• Rollers, hinges, tracks & cables — inspected for wear, lubricated, and tightened
• Springs — checked for tension, balance, and signs of fatigue or rust
• Safety sensors & auto-reverse — tested and aligned to respond correctly every time
• Opener performance — motor, drive system, and circuit board checked
• Seals, weatherstrips & rodent guards — inspected and replaced if cracked or torn

Homeowner checklist between visits

• Wipe down tracks with a dry cloth to remove dirt and debris
• Test the auto-reverse sensor by placing a board under the door
• Lubricate rollers, hinges, and springs (not the tracks)
• Check the bottom seal for gaps, tears, or pest entry points
• Listen for grinding, squealing, or banging — and call us if you hear it

When to schedule

We recommend professional maintenance twice a year — once in spring and once in fall. Most visits take under an hour, and a tune-up costs a fraction of a broken spring or off-track repair.
