Garage Door Maintenance Services

Regular garage door maintenance is essential to keep your door operating safely, efficiently, and reliably. Maintenance helps identify and address small issues like worn springs, frayed cables, or misaligned tracks before they lead to costly repairs. It also extends the lifespan of the door and its components, saving you money in the long run.

It’s recommended to schedule professional garage door maintenance at least once a year. For high-usage doors or those in extreme climates, biannual maintenance is ideal. Regular servicing ensures that components like springs, cables, and rollers are inspected, lubricated, and adjusted as needed to maintain optimal performance.

A comprehensive garage door maintenance service includes inspecting all moving parts (springs, cables, rollers, and tracks), lubricating components, tightening hardware, testing the balance and alignment of the door, and checking the opener and safety sensors. Weatherstripping and seals are also inspected and replaced if necessary.

While homeowners can handle basic tasks like cleaning tracks and applying lubricant to hinges and rollers, more complex maintenance—such as adjusting springs, realigning tracks, or testing the opener’s safety features—should be performed by a professional. DIY attempts on high-tension components can be dangerous without the right tools and expertise.

Signs your garage door needs immediate attention include unusual noises, slow or jerky movement, imbalance, visible rust or wear on parts, and issues with the opener or safety sensors. Addressing these signs promptly through garage door maintenance can prevent larger problems and ensure safe operation.
