Garage doors are one of the few systems in a home that cycle thousands of times a year with zero attention. In Texas, where heat and dust accelerate wear, a yearly tune-up is the cheapest way to avoid a $400 emergency call and a car trapped in the garage.
Our 25-Point Tune-Up Includes
- Spring inspection, cycle-life estimate and re-tensioning
- Cable, drum and bearing inspection
- All hinges, brackets and fasteners torqued
- Roller inspection, with steel-to-nylon upgrade quoted if needed
- Track alignment and plumb check
- Lithium or synthetic lubrication of springs, bearings, hinges and rail
- Manual balance test at the halfway point
- Photo-eye sensor alignment and reversal test
- Opener force, travel limits and auto-reverse verification
- Weather seal and bottom astragal inspection
Why It Pays
A door that's out of balance forces the opener to carry weight it was never designed to lift, and that's how $60 of maintenance turns into a $350 opener. Balanced doors are quieter, springs last years longer, and we usually spot a cracked hinge or frayed cable months before it fails.
