How often should I get my garage door maintained?

For most residential garage doors, we recommend a professional maintenance and tune-up at least once a year. If your garage door is heavily used or showing signs of wear, more frequent maintenance may be beneficial.

What does a garage door tune-up include?

A typical tune-up includes inspecting the springs, cables, rollers, hinges, tracks, hardware, opener, safety sensors, weather seals, and other major components. We also lubricate appropriate moving parts, tighten hardware, test the door balance and safety features, and run the door through multiple cycles.

What if you find something wrong during the tune-up?

If we find a component that needs repair or replacement, we’ll explain the issue and discuss your options with you. Additional repairs are not performed without your approval.
