Garage Door Tune-Up

21-point preventive maintenance. The cheapest way to make your door last twice as long.

02What you get

A garage door is the largest moving piece of equipment on most homes. Annual maintenance prevents the expensive failures: broken springs that lock you in, off-track doors that cost a half-day to fix, opener motors burned out by an unbalanced door. Our tune-up balances, lubricates, tests, and writes you a written report.

  • 0121-point inspection of door, springs, opener, and hardware
  • 02Spring tension balance and adjustment
  • 03Roller, hinge, and shaft lubrication (silicone, not grease)
  • 04Safety reverse and photo-eye sensor test
  • 05Written report with photos sent to your phone

03When you need this

Signs to call us.

  • Door is 5+ years old and hasn't been professionally maintained
  • Approaching the 7-year cycle-life mark on standard torsion springs
  • Selling the home and want documented maintenance for the listing
  • Annual habit — catches small issues before they become emergencies

04What we see

Common failure
modes.

01

Cable fraying caught early

The single most common find on tune-ups. Replacing a fraying cable in pairs prevents a same-week crash.

02

Roller bearings dried out

Rollers run nearly silent for years, then wear loudly. Lubrication on the right schedule doubles their life.

03

Opener belt or chain slack

Tensioning the drive corrects an off-track door before it walks off the rollers.

05By the numbers

Spec reference.
