Are you considering an annual garage door tune-up but are not sure if will turn into a costly repair nightmare?

We can help you get a better idea with a general overview of what entails garage door maintenance or garage door repair. After you have reviewed all of the details, you will feel more confident about what to expect when you have your garage door tuned up.
Why Do You Need to Spend Money on the Garage Door Each Year?
The main reason it is important to make sure that the garage door is working properly and has a tight seal is due to utility bills. When you have a crack in the bottom seal or the mechanisms are not shutting the door completely, heating and cooling bills increase. One other area of your home finances that can suffer if your garage door is not working is pest control. Finally, personal loss due to theft of property because of a faulty garage door can increase overall insurance premiums.
What You Can Expect from Garage Door Maintenance
When professionals show up to give your garage door an annual tuneup, they will be working with several different areas of the garage. We check the power supply, the bracket connecting the opener to the door, opener, sensors, keypads and remotes are checked as well. Next we check tracks, hinges, anchors and bottom seal to see if everything fits tightly. We clean and lubricate all moving parts, then test to check that the door closes completely after being opened.
Intensive Garage Door Repairs
Do you touch the outside of your garage door sometimes and find that it is so hot that it almost burns your hand? When there is something about your garage door that needs brainstorming from pros to come up with solutions, intensive garage door overhauls may be what you need. We can install an insulation kit, which saves money in the long run.
