Garage Door Maintenance & Tune-Up

At least once a year for most homes. If you use your garage door more than four times a day, or if your home is in a high-humidity area near the river valleys, twice a year is a better schedule. The FOREVER Ready Club™ makes annual maintenance automatic.

A full 26-point inspection of every component, lubrication of all moving parts, hardware tightening, spring balance testing, safety system verification, opener performance check, and a detailed report of our findings. The tune-up is FREE for qualifying ZIP codes near Chesterfield, or $97 (normally $197) outside the local area.

Some tasks are safe for homeowners: wiping down tracks, visually checking for loose hardware, and testing the auto-reverse by placing an object under the door. But anything involving springs, cables, or spring tension adjustment should be handled by a professional. Springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury.

A door that feels heavier than usual, doesn't stay open on its own, or makes new noises during operation may have springs losing tension. Our balance test during the tune-up measures this precisely. If your springs are weakening, we'll give you options including our lifetime-warrantied FOREVER Spring™ System before they fail completely.

Yes. A properly balanced door with lubricated rollers and adjusted hardware puts less strain on your opener motor. Many opener failures we see could have been prevented with regular maintenance that keeps the rest of the system working efficiently.

It's designed to give you ongoing protection and savings without having to remember to schedule service. Ask us for details when you call.

Yes. We provide maintenance for businesses, warehouses, and commercial properties with sectional doors, rolling steel doors, and high-traffic openers. Commercial doors with heavy daily use often benefit from quarterly or semi-annual maintenance schedules.

We'll explain exactly what we found, what it means, and what your options are. You'll get honest pricing before any additional work begins. There's no obligation to proceed with repairs on the spot. Many homeowners use the tune-up findings to plan and budget for future service.
