Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions homeowners ask us:

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend having your garage door professionally serviced at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, extends the life of your door and opener, and ensures safe operation. If you use your garage door frequently (more than 4 times per day), consider semi-annual maintenance. During our service visit, we lubricate all moving parts, check spring tension, test safety features, tighten hardware, and inspect for wear.

What are signs that my garage door springs need replacement?

Several signs indicate your springs may need replacement: the door feels heavy or doesn't stay open on its own, you hear loud banging noises, the door opens unevenly or crooked, visible gaps in the springs, or the door won't open at all. Garage door springs typically last 7-10 years or about 10,000 cycles. Never attempt to replace springs yourself – they're under extreme tension and can cause serious injury. Our certified technicians safely replace springs and ensure proper balance.
