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. During a maintenance visit, our technicians will lubricate moving parts, check spring tension, test safety features, tighten hardware, and inspect all components for wear. Homes with heavy garage door usage may benefit from semi-annual service. In Florida's humid climate, annual maintenance is especially important to prevent rust and corrosion on springs and hardware. Our maintenance service includes a complete 25-point inspection that covers everything from the door panels and weather seals to the opener motor and safety sensors.

What are the signs that my garage door springs need to be replaced?

There are several warning signs that indicate your garage door springs may need replacement. The most obvious is if your door won't open or feels extremely heavy when lifting manually. You might also notice the door opening unevenly, loud snapping sounds when operating, visible gaps in the spring coils, or rust and corrosion on the springs. If your door closes too quickly or won't stay open, this could also indicate spring problems. Springs typically last 10,000-15,000 cycles, which translates to about 7-10 years for average use. Never attempt to replace springs yourself as they are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury or death. Our technicians have the proper training, tools, and experience to safely replace garage door springs.
