Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions homeowners ask us:

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend having your garage door professionally inspected and serviced at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps prevent costly repairs, extends the life of your door and opener, and ensures safe operation. If you use your garage door frequently (more than 4 times daily), consider bi-annual maintenance. Our technicians will lubricate moving parts, check spring tension, inspect cables and rollers, test safety features, and make any necessary adjustments during a maintenance visit.

What are signs that my garage door springs need replacement?

There are several warning signs that indicate your garage door springs may need replacement. Look for: difficulty opening the door, the door feels heavier than usual, visible gaps in the spring coils, the door opens unevenly or crooked, loud squeaking or grinding noises, the door won't stay open on its own, or you notice rust and corrosion on the springs. If you see a broken spring (separated coils or a visible gap), do not attempt to operate the door and call us immediately. Broken springs are dangerous and should only be handled by professionals.
