Garage door maintenance & repair

Winter is inching closer and closer. It’s time that you made sure you were ready to deal with it, including your garage.

Isn’t it great to be home during the holidays?

At some point in your life, no matter where you live in the grand world, you’ve likely experienced a major power outage at least once. You may have been a child at the time, or you may have come home to a dark house after a long day at work. Even more devastating, you might have come home from a long trip or a vacation to find the power has been out for a few days and all the food in your refrigerator is spoiled. However, you may just have to spend a few hours entertaining yourself and your children until the problem is resolved. In the end, any time you lose power will have consequences, even if those consequences range in severity.

Spring break is supposed to be fun. Unfortunately, not all spring breaks are, especially when it's the spring on your garage door. When it breaks, you'll know it by the sound of a gunshot!

You absolutely need to put in maintenance every year for your garage door. Not doing this can lead to problems later down the line. If you prefer to have a garage door that operates well and no big surprises that lead to major repairs, maintenance is something you must take seriously.

Even though you might have a garage door that is on the older side, it still seems to be working quite well. It is not too noisy, and it is reliable. Typically, the garage door is going to be made from metal, although it could also be made from wood. Even though it works well, you might find that it no longer has the nice appearance that it once did. You might be wondering whether you should repaint the door again, or if you should get an entirely new system for the door.

Have you ever wondered why your garage door keeps malfunctioning? The biggest problem that our service techs run into with service calls isn’t the garage door itself at all – it’s the automatic reverse mechanism, more exactly the misalignment of the photo eyes.

Sometimes, over time, it becomes evident that your garage door might not be working as well as it used to be. If you’ve begin to notice more noise when you use the door each morning and evening, this can be a sign of things to come. For safety’s sake, it’s also the right time to consider your options.

Have you ever entered a garage with a clean and appealing floor? You might have wondered how they did it because most garage floors show a lot of wear, tear and staining. From the oil spills and tire tracks, the mud and dirt, the gear and toys…the garage floor can take a lot of abuse.

Is your garage door making weird sounds? Does it not work as well as it used to? You might be thinking about changing it soon, perhaps next season. But the longer you wait, the more in danger you become!
