About This Service

Austin's heat and humidity accelerate wear on garage door components faster than most homeowners realize. Springs lose tension, rollers dry out and crack, cables fray, and hinges loosen — all silently, until something snaps at the worst possible moment. An annual tune-up catches these problems early, extends the life of every component, and keeps your door running quietly and smoothly. Our 20-point maintenance service covers lubrication, balance, spring tension, cable condition, roller inspection, hardware tightening, and a full safety check.

$75 – $125

Includes full 20-point inspection, lubrication, balance test, and safety reversal test. Parts extra if needed.

How It Works

1
Lubrication
Springs, hinges, rollers, and tracks lubricated with professional-grade garage door lubricant (not WD-40, which attracts dirt).
2
Balance Test
Door disconnected from opener and manually lifted to mid-point. A balanced door stays put — an unbalanced one signals spring wear.
3
Safety Reversal Test
Opener's auto-reverse tested with a 2x4 on the ground — if it doesn't reverse, we adjust the force setting immediately.
4
Full Hardware Check
All bolts, hinges, roller brackets, and track fasteners checked and tightened. Worn rollers flagged for replacement.
5
Written Report
We give you a written summary of what was done and flag any parts approaching end of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I tune up my garage door?

Once a year is the standard recommendation — twice a year if you use your door more than 6 times daily, or if you live in an area with extreme heat (which includes most of Austin).

Can I lubricate the door myself?

You can apply lubricant to hinges, springs, and rollers, but use a dedicated garage door lubricant — not WD-40, which dries out and attracts dirt. However, a professional tune-up includes a balance test and safety check that aren't possible to do yourself without disconnecting the opener.

What happens if I skip the annual tune-up?

Worn rollers wear out tracks. Dry hinges crack. Unbalanced springs snap earlier than they should. Skipping maintenance typically leads to a breakdown that costs 3–5x more than a preventive tune-up.

Do you check the safety sensors during the tune-up?

Yes — we test the photo-eye sensors and the auto-reverse force setting. If the door doesn't reverse properly when it hits an obstruction, that's a serious safety hazard we'll correct on the spot.

How long does a tune-up take?

About 45–60 minutes for a full 20-point inspection and service.
