Preventive Garage Door Maintenance to Extend Door Life

We recommend professional maintenance once per year for typical residential use (2-4 cycles per day) in Austin's Central Texas climate. If you use your garage door more frequently, multiple family members, home business, or 6+ cycles daily, consider twice-yearly service. Annual maintenance typically includes spring and fall tune-ups to prepare for Austin's seasonal temperature changes that affect door operation.

Our comprehensive 21-point maintenance includes: visual inspection of all components for Central Texas wear, spring tension testing and adjustment for Austin climate, cable examination for humidity damage, track cleaning and alignment check for foundation shifts, roller bearing inspection for temperature stress, hinge lubrication for Austin conditions, safety sensor testing and alignment for our climate, auto-reverse function testing, weather seal inspection for Central Texas, hardware tightening from climate stress, chain/belt lubrication (opener) for Austin humidity, and complete operation testing. You'll receive a detailed service report with Austin-specific recommendations.

While maintenance dramatically reduces unexpected failures, garage door springs and other components have finite lifespans (springs: 10,000-30,000 cycles, depending on rating) that can be affected by Central Texas climate. However, our inspections identify components nearing end-of-life from Austin conditions, allowing you to replace them proactively on your schedule rather than during an emergency. This planning approach saves money and prevents inconvenience from Austin weather.

Yes! We offer annual maintenance plans that include scheduled service visits, priority emergency response, and discounts on any needed repairs for Austin clients. Plans range from basic annual service to comprehensive quarterly programs for high-use doors in Central Texas. Our maintenance members also receive reminder calls before each service visit and seasonal preparation tips for Austin weather.

We'll immediately inform you of any issues found, explain the problem and its urgency for Central Texas conditions, and provide a clear quote for recommended repairs. You decide what to address immediately versus schedule for later. Many minor issues can be fixed during the maintenance visit with your approval. Our goal is to keep you informed and help you prioritize based on safety and budget for Austin climate.
