Preventive maintenance extends the life of your garage door system by years. Our comprehensive tune-up includes lubrication, hardware tightening, safety testing, spring inspection, and opener diagnostics — keeping everything running smoothly.

A garage door cycles over 1,500 times per year in a typical household. Without regular maintenance, springs lose tension, rollers wear, hardware loosens, and safety systems fall out of calibration. Our tune-up addresses every component in the system — preventing breakdowns before they happen.
We check spring tension, look for rust and fatigue cracks, and inspect cables for fraying or kinking. Early detection of spring wear prevents the sudden failure that leaves your door inoperable — and the dangerous snap that comes with it.
We apply manufacturer-recommended lubricant to springs, hinges, rollers, bearing plates, and the lock mechanism. Every bolt, bracket, and hinge is checked and tightened. Over time, vibration loosens hardware throughout the system.
Tracks are cleaned, inspected for alignment, and adjusted if needed. Worn rollers are identified and flagged for replacement. We recommend upgrading to sealed nylon rollers for quieter operation and longer life.
We test the auto-reverse mechanism by placing an obstruction under the door, verify photo-eye sensor alignment, and test the opener's force settings. These safety systems are required by federal law and should be tested at least annually.
Licensed technicians, commercial-grade parts, and a diagnostic-first approach. We identify the problem, explain your options, and deliver a lasting repair.
We recommend a professional tune-up once per year. If your garage door sees heavy use — more than four cycles per day — a twice-yearly schedule is advisable. Regular maintenance can double the life of springs and other wear components.
Our tune-up covers spring inspection and tension adjustment, cable inspection, lubrication of all moving parts, hardware tightening, track alignment, roller inspection, safety sensor testing, auto-reverse verification, and opener diagnostics.
While springs have a finite cycle life, proper lubrication and tension management can extend that life by 30 to 50 percent. Annual inspection also gives us the chance to identify springs that are nearing end of life — allowing for planned replacement rather than an emergency call.
In most cases, yes. Noise typically comes from dry rollers, loose hardware, or worn hinges. Lubrication and tightening resolve the majority of noise complaints. If the noise persists, roller replacement or opener maintenance may be needed.
