How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend having your garage door professionally serviced at least once a year to ensure safe and reliable operation. During a preventive maintenance visit, our technicians will inspect all components including springs, cables, rollers, tracks, and the opener system. We'll lubricate moving parts, check the door's balance, test safety features, and tighten any loose hardware. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your garage door by 5-10 years and help prevent costly emergency repairs. Many of our customers opt for our annual maintenance program, which includes priority scheduling and discounted rates on any needed repairs. Read our maintenance tips guide for more details.

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

There are several warning signs that indicate your garage door springs need replacement. The most obvious sign is a visible gap in the spring (indicating it has broken). Other signs include: the door feels unusually heavy when lifting manually, the door opens only partially then stops, the door slams shut quickly, you hear loud banging or popping noises during operation, or the door appears crooked when opening or closing. Garage door springs typically last 7-12 years or about 10,000 cycles. If you notice any of these signs, it's important to have your springs inspected immediately. Never attempt to replace garage door springs yourself—they are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury.
