Houston Garage Door Tune-Up & Safety Inspection
Helping families with their garage doors in Houston for over 15 yrs.
Is your garage door noisy, squeaky, or operating rough? Does it travel part way up, or down- then stop, or reverse? Deferred maintenance can lead to more significant and costly repairs. We recommend having your garage door professionally serviced once every 2 years, to keep things in good running order. Our “LUBE AND TUNE” special is the perfect option to get your door running smoothly again. A garage door that is kept in good working order provides safety, convenience, and security!
Many people use their garage door like a front door. This can take its toll on the lift system, motor, and spring mechanism. Garage door springs are rated by cycles. Each time the door opens and closes it is considered one cycle. Depending on your spring configuration, your spring may be rated ten thousand, fifteen thousand, or even up to forty thousand cycles. The tension on most torsion springs should be adjusted periodically to best assist the opener motor in opening the door. If you have not had your garage door professionally service in more than 5 years, then a spring adjustment might be just what your door needs. (extra charge)
Another issue that some garage doors develop over time is the need for the track and cables to be realigned, due to the settling of the house and concrete slab. Alignment of the track and cables is very important for the smooth operation of the garage door. Doors that bind against the track, appear slightly crooked, or have daylight showing toward one side of the door should be adjusted to prevent serious and costly failure.
Consider scheduling our garage door “LUBE AND TUNE” special today, and enjoy the peace of mind and security of a well-tuned garage door.
