Maintenance & Tune-Up
Garage door maintenance is the most overlooked home service — until a spring snaps at 6am on a Monday. Our comprehensive tune-up prevents breakdowns, extends your door's life, and keeps your family safe.
Why Do Garage Doors Break Down When You Least Expect It?
Your garage door opens and closes over 1,500 times a year. Springs wear out, rollers degrade, cables fray, and hardware loosens — all invisibly, until something fails.
You don't think about your garage door until it stops working. Then you're stuck, stressed, and facing an emergency repair bill that could have been prevented.
A $150 tune-up shouldn't be harder to schedule than a $500 emergency repair. Preventive maintenance should be simple, affordable, and accessible.
What Does Our Maintenance & Tune-Up Include?
30-Point Safety Inspection
We check every component — springs, cables, rollers, tracks, hardware, weatherstripping, and safety features.
Lubrication
All moving parts lubricated with professional-grade lubricant to reduce friction, noise, and wear.
Balance Testing
An unbalanced door puts strain on the opener and springs. We test and adjust for perfect balance.
Hardware Tightening
Every bolt, bracket, and hinge checked and tightened to prevent vibration damage over time.
Safety Sensor Calibration
Photo eyes and auto-reverse tested to ensure your door won't close on people, pets, or vehicles.
Written Report
You get a detailed report of what we found, what we fixed, and what to watch in the future.

FAQ
What Are Common Maintenance & Tune-Up Questions?
Garage door maintenance should be performed annually. If your door is used heavily (4+ times daily) or is older than 10 years, we recommend twice-yearly tune-ups to catch wear before it becomes failure.
A comprehensive garage door tune-up in Kansas City typically costs $99-$149. This is a fraction of an emergency repair, which averages $250-$500. Preventive maintenance pays for itself.
Our tune-up includes a 30-point safety inspection, lubrication of all moving parts, balance testing, hardware tightening, safety sensor calibration, weatherstrip inspection, and a written condition report.
While springs have a finite lifespan (typically 10,000-15,000 cycles), regular maintenance can extend their life significantly. More importantly, maintenance lets us identify springs nearing the end of their life so you can replace them on your schedule — not in an emergency.
A thorough maintenance visit takes approximately 45-60 minutes. We don't rush — the whole point is finding small issues before they become big problems.
