Maintenance
Most Emergency Calls Were Preventable
Garage doors give warning before they fail. A spring near the end of its life makes the door feel heavier. A worn roller gets louder for months. A fraying cable is visible long before it snaps.
A tune-up is a technician putting eyes and hands on all of it: tension, balance, hardware torque, cable condition, roller wear, sensor function and opener force settings. Parts that are close to failing get replaced while the door still works.
Once a year covers a typical household. Twice a year for doors used as a main entrance, and quarterly for high-cycle commercial openings.

What We Do
Maintenance Programs
Scheduled service sized to how hard the door actually works.
Annual Residential Tune-Up
One visit a year covering the full inspection checklist, with any worn parts identified and quoted before we replace them.
Semi-Annual Service
For doors used as a primary entrance. Twice-yearly service catches spring fatigue and roller wear on a much faster wear clock.
Commercial Maintenance Agreements
Scheduled service on dock, warehouse and parking doors, with documented reports for insurance and inspections.
Quarterly High-Cycle Programs
For openings running hundreds of cycles a week, where a failure shuts down operations.
Property & Building Management
Portfolio pricing for buildings and complexes with multiple doors, on a single scheduled visit.
Written Condition Reports
Every visit leaves a record of what was checked, what was adjusted and what's approaching replacement.

When Was Your Door Last Serviced?
If you can't remember, it's due. A tune-up costs a fraction of an emergency spring call — and takes about an hour.

What Maintenance Actually Prevents
Broken springs, snapped cables, seized rollers and burned-out openers all announce themselves before they fail.
Catching them on a scheduled visit means planned cost instead of an emergency call on a Sunday with the car stuck inside.
Commercial
Downtime Is the Real Cost
On a loading dock, the repair bill isn't the expensive part — the hours the bay is out of service are.
Scheduled maintenance agreements keep high-cycle doors running and give you a documented service history.
Balance test you can do today: pull the emergency release and lift the door to waist height. A balanced door holds position. If it drops or rises on its own, tension is off — book service.
FAQs
Common Questions
How often should a garage door be serviced?
Once a year for a typical household, twice a year if the door is your main entrance, and quarterly for high-cycle commercial doors.
What does a garage door tune-up include?
Hardware tightening, balance and spring tension testing, roller and cable inspection, lubrication, track cleaning and alignment, safety sensor and auto-reverse testing, and opener force adjustment.
How long does a maintenance visit take?
About an hour for a single residential door. Multi-door and commercial visits are scheduled based on the number of openings.
Is maintenance worth it if the door works fine?
That's exactly when it's worth it. Maintenance is what keeps it working — the alternative is paying more later, on the door's schedule rather than yours.
Do you offer maintenance contracts for businesses?
Yes. Scheduled agreements with documented condition reports are available for commercial, warehouse and property management clients.
