Maintenance & Tune-ups
The quiet discipline that makes doors last decades.
An annual balance, lubrication, and safety inspection catches the five-dollar part before it becomes the five-hundred-dollar emergency — and keeps the door quiet enough to forget.

- —Cable, roller, and hinge inspection for fray and wear
- —Track alignment and hardware tightening
- —Full lubrication of springs, rollers, and hinges
- —Opener force settings, travel limits, and drive condition
- —Safety-eye alignment and auto-reverse test
- —Weather seal condition — Wisconsin winters find every gap
Questions
Worth asking
How often should a garage door be serviced?
Once a year for most homes. A door cycles over a thousand times annually — it's the largest moving object in the house and the only one that rarely gets looked at.
What does a tune-up cost?
A flat, agreed-in-advance price — call for the current figure. If the inspection turns up a part that's failing, you'll get the number before anything is replaced.
Is it worth it on a newer door?
Yes — spring tension drifts and force settings loosen regardless of age, and an annual check keeps the manufacturer's hardware warranty on solid ground.

Book the visit before the bang.
For a door that won't move, call now and speak directly with the owner. For a new door or opener, share a few details and he'll come back with options and honest numbers, usually the same business day.
