Why Garage Door Maintenance Is Important

 

Routine maintenance helps detect minor issues before they escalate into major problems. A National Association of Home Builders study found that garage doors, when properly maintained, can last 15 to 30 years. Regular servicing reduces wear and tear, maintains alignment, and ensures all components function correctly—ultimately saving you time and money.

In Minnesota’s freezing winters, lack of maintenance can cause metal components to contract, increasing the chance of snapped springs or jammed openers. Timely upkeep can prevent these weather-related failures and protect your investment.

 

Signs Your Garage Door Needs a Tune-Up

 

Don’t wait for a breakdown—watch out for these signs:

  • Noisy Operation: Loud grinding or squeaking indicates worn-out rollers, loose hardware, or lack of lubrication.
  • Slow Response Time: If your door hesitates or moves sluggishly, it may need opener recalibration or spring tension adjustment.
  • Unbalanced Movement: A door that jerks or doesn’t close evenly suggests cable or spring issues.
  • Visible Rust or Wear: Rust on torsion springs or cracked weatherstripping means it’s time for service.
  • Reversal Issues: If your garage door doesn’t reverse when obstructed, it’s a major safety concern that needs immediate attention.

 

Benefits of Scheduled Garage Door Maintenance

 

Proactive maintenance provides multiple long-term benefits:

  • Extended Lifespan: Well-maintained doors last significantly longer and reduce the frequency of part replacements.
  • Enhanced Safety: Prevent accidents by ensuring all safety systems are functioning.
  • Improved Energy Efficiency: Sealed and lubricated systems prevent air leaks and reduce heating bills during cold St. Paul winters.
  • Noise Reduction: A properly lubricated and balanced door operates much more quietly.
  • Warranty Protection: Many manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep warranties valid.

Our Complete Garage Door Maintenance Checklist

  • Spring Inspection and Adjustment: We check torsion and extension springs for signs of fatigue and make precise tension adjustments to balance the door.

  • Track and Roller Inspection: Tracks are aligned and cleaned, while rollers are checked for wear and replaced if needed.
  • Tightening of Hardware: Loose nuts and bolts can cause alignment issues and noise. We ensure every component is securely fastened.
  • Safety Tests: We test the auto-reverse mechanism, photo-eye sensors, and manual release function for proper operation.

  • Weather Seal Evaluation: We inspect the bottom seal and perimeter weatherstripping for cracks or gaps and recommend replacement if needed.

DIY vs. Professional Maintenance
