REGULAR GARAGE DOOR MAINTENANCE MATTERS
A garage is an enormous mechanism, which moves seamlessly up and down several times per day, every day. Experts estimate that a typical garage door goes up and down 1500 times per year. When you consider the sheer weight of it and the fact that it operates in extreme weather conditions, that it is a bit complicated and that it can get quite dirty, it makes a compelling argument for regular garage door maintenance.
Even though a garage door is large, the damage that can occur as a result of wear and tear isn’t always evident. A typical homeowner is not likely to even notice until something goes terribly wrong. What is even worse is that even a slight adjustment can keep the entire door from becoming damaged beyond repair.
Safety is another reason that a regular garage door tune-up makes sense. Anyone who has seen a tension spring fail understands what we mean. Also, once A safer garage door is a better garage door. Fortunately, regular professional maintenance can find potentially expensive problems while they’re small and easy to correct. The cost savings are so significant that many experts recommend a twice-yearly tune-up.
While a homeowner can do their maintenance, most homeowners opt not to because they lack the tools, time, and expertise to recognize an anomaly or abnormal wear. It takes experience to know when and how to replace rollers, cables, springs, and other parts. Garage door specialists have been professionally trained. Most homeowners lack expertise and tools. Your garage door specialist has time to analyze the components of the garage door, to make sure they’re still structurally sound, balanced, functioning correctly, and the hardware is nice and tight. He also knows how to repair or replace virtually 100% of the garage door parts.
Another value of regular tune-ups is that proper care can increase the life of your garage door. Just like regular car care or a good dental plan, investing a small amount of money is a good value for the dollar. When a door does wear out, a homeowner will be happier to learn the news from the garage door specialist during a tune-up, rather than have to face it suddenly. For example, some homeowners discover their garage door needs to be replaced when the garage door fails with the car inside, or, even worse, in the open position when he is on his way to work or another significant event.
