How often should I service my garage door?

A professional tune-up is recommended once per year to keep all components working safely and smoothly.

Why is my garage door noisy?

Noise is usually caused by worn rollers, loose hardware, or lack of lubrication. A maintenance service typically resolves this.

What are signs my garage door needs repair?

Common signs include slow movement, loud noises, uneven opening, or sagging sections.

How long should a garage door last with proper care?

With proper care and maintenance, most garage doors can last 15–30 years. Regular tune-ups and addressing minor issues promptly can help maximize their lifespan.

How long does a typical repair take?

Most garage door repairs can be completed in 1–2 hours, depending on the issue.

Is it better to repair or replace my garage door?

If the door is structurally sound, repairs are usually best. Replacement is recommended for older or heavily damaged doors.
