What's Included in a Tune-Up

Comprehensive inspection and adjustment of your garage door system

Inspection & safety tests

We check rollers, hinges, tracks, cables, and hardware, then test photo-eyes and auto-reversal.

Balance & movement check

A balanced door should lift smoothly and stay at mid-travel without drifting; we check springs and hardware to help keep it safe.

Lubrication (where appropriate)

Proper lubrication reduces noise and helps moving parts last longer; we use the right product in the right places (not everywhere).

Opener settings review

When applicable, we verify force and travel settings for safe, consistent closing, and confirm photo-eye alignment and reversal.

If we find worn components, we'll explain options before any work begins. If you're looking for pricing, our contact form lets you share your city and a short description of the door.

FAQs

How often should I get a tune-up?

It depends on door weight, usage, and environment. If your door gets daily use or your hardware is aging, a yearly inspection is a good starting point.

Will a tune-up fix a loud garage door?

Sometimes. Lubrication and adjustment can help, but loud noise can also indicate worn rollers, loose hardware, track issues, or balance problems. We'll identify the cause during the inspection.
