Garage door preventative maintenance is a proactive service designed to keep your garage door operating smoothly, safely, and efficiently.

For the best performance and longevity, we recommend scheduling garage door maintenance at least once a year. However, if you use your garage door multiple times daily, have an older system, or live in an area with extreme weather conditions, bi-annual servicing may be the best option.
By investing in preventative maintenance, you can avoid unexpected breakdowns, extend the life of your garage door, and ensure safe, worry-free operation for years to come.
We take a detailed, step-by-step approach to ensure your garage door operates at peak performance. Our expert technicians follow a comprehensive inspection and maintenance process designed to prevent unexpected failures and extend the lifespan of your system.
Here’s what you can expect when you schedule a garage door maintenance service with us:
1. Full-System Inspection
We begin with a thorough assessment of all major components, checking for signs of wear, damage, or misalignment. This includes examining the springs, cables, rollers, tracks, opener, and safety sensors to ensure everything is functioning properly.
2. Precision Lubrication
Proper lubrication reduces friction and wear on rollers, hinges, bearings, and springs, allowing your garage door to move smoothly and quietly. We use high-quality lubricants designed to withstand extreme temperatures and heavy use.
3. Spring & Cable Testing
Torsion springs and lift cables support the weight of your garage door. We carefully inspect these components for fraying, rust, or weakening, ensuring they can handle the daily stress of operation. If necessary, we adjust the spring tension to maintain proper balance.
4. Track & Roller Adjustment
Misaligned tracks and worn-out rollers can cause uneven movement or noisy operation. We check for bent tracks, loose brackets, and worn rollers, making adjustments or replacements as needed to prevent operational issues.
5. Garage Door Opener Optimization
We test your garage door opener for smooth operation, proper force settings, and sensor alignment. If your opener struggles, we adjust the motor settings and ensure the photo-eye safety sensors are correctly positioned to prevent accidental closures.
6. Hardware Tightening & Safety Check
Over time, vibration from daily use can loosen nuts, bolts, and other fasteners. We tighten all essential hardware to maintain structural integrity and check for any weaknesses in the system.
7. Weather Seal & Panel Inspection
Your garage door’s weather seal helps keep out dust, pests, and moisture. We inspect and replace damaged weather stripping and assess door panels for cracks or warping that could compromise security and insulation.
8. Final Performance Test
Before completing the service, we conduct a full functionality test—opening and closing the door multiple times to ensure smooth movement, proper balance, and safety compliance.
Your garage door is one of the most used and essential entry points to your home—but like any mechanical system, it wears down over time. Without regular maintenance, small issues can quickly escalate into costly repairs or sudden breakdowns, leaving you with an inoperable door at the worst possible time.
Here are the most common garage door problems that preventative maintenance helps prevent—and how our service keeps your door running smoothly:
1. Noisy, Squeaky, or Grinding Operation
The Problem: Over time, dirt buildup, rust, and lack of lubrication cause hinges, rollers, and springs to wear out, leading to loud, disruptive noises.
Our Solution: We apply high-quality lubricants to all moving parts and replace worn-out components to ensure smooth and quiet operation.
2. Slow or Unresponsive Garage Door
The Problem: If your garage door hesitates, struggles to open, or responds inconsistently, it could be due to an aging opener, misaligned sensors, or mechanical wear.
Our Solution: We inspect and adjust the opener, align the safety sensors, test the remote, and fine-tune the system for reliable performance.
3. Broken or Weak Springs
The Problem: Torsion springs bear the weight of your garage door, and when they weaken or break, the door can become dangerous to operate or fail to open entirely.
Our Solution: We check spring tension, look for early signs of wear, and replace weak springs with durable, high-cycle options before they fail.
4. Misaligned or Off-Track Doors
The Problem: Bent tracks, loose hardware, or worn rollers can cause the door to move unevenly or get stuck.
Our Solution: We realign tracks, tighten brackets, and replace worn rollers to ensure the door opens and closes properly, preventing costly damage.
5. Frayed or Damaged Cables
The Problem: Garage door cables help lift and balance the door. Frayed or broken cables can lead to sudden failure, posing a safety risk.
Our Solution: We inspect all cables for wear and replace them as needed, ensuring safe and balanced operation.
6. Weather Damage & Energy Loss
The Problem: Cracked weather stripping and worn-out seals allow moisture, pests, and drafts to enter your garage, leading to higher energy bills and potential structural damage.
Our Solution: We replace weather seals, inspect panels for cracks, and ensure proper insulation to keep your garage secure and energy-efficient.
