How Often Should You Schedule Maintenance?

We recommend professional garage door maintenance at least once per year for most residential doors. However, you may benefit from more frequent service if:

• Your garage door is used multiple times daily
• Your door is exposed to harsh weather conditions
• Your home is in a coastal or high-humidity area
• Your door is older or showing signs of wear
• You have a commercial garage door with heavy use

Signs Your Garage Door Needs Maintenance

Don't wait for a breakdown. Schedule maintenance if you notice:

• Squeaking, grinding, or unusual noises
• Slower opening or closing speed
• Jerky or uneven movement
• Door appears unbalanced or crooked
• Visible rust on springs or hardware
• Frayed or damaged cables
• Gaps around closed door
• Difficulty opening or closing

Maintenance vs. Repair: Understanding the Difference

Regular maintenance is preventive care that keeps your garage door functioning properly. Repairs address specific problems or broken components. While maintenance can prevent many repairs, some issues may still arise due to normal wear and tear or unexpected damage.

Our technicians will inform you if any components need repair or replacement during your maintenance visit. We provide honest assessments and recommendations to help you make informed decisions about your garage door care.
