Why Annual Garage Door Maintenance Matters

Your garage door is the largest moving mechanical system in your home, opening and closing 3–5 times per day. Without regular maintenance, wear accelerates, small issues become expensive failures, and safety can be compromised. A single annual tune-up typically costs far less than even a minor emergency repair.

Our maintenance visits are thorough — we inspect, adjust, clean, and lubricate every moving part, test all safety systems, and give you a written report with any recommended repairs so you can plan ahead.

FAQ

Maintenance Questions

How often should I have my garage door serviced?
We recommend a professional tune-up once a year. Doors that experience heavy use (3+ cycles per day) or go through Ottawa’s harsh winters benefit from a twice-yearly service. DIY lubrication every 6 months between professional visits is also helpful.
How much does a maintenance visit cost?
Our standard annual tune-up is competitively priced as a flat rate — call us for the current pricing. It’s almost always less than the cost of even a minor repair that proper maintenance would have prevented.
What type of lubricant should I use on my garage door?
Use a silicone-based or lithium-based spray lubricant on springs, hinges, rollers, and the sides of the tracks. Avoid WD-40 — it’s a solvent, not a lubricant, and will attract dirt. Never lubricate the track itself.
Can you perform maintenance on any garage door brand?
Yes. We service all residential and commercial door brands including Wayne Dalton, Clopay, CHI, Amarr, Raynor, and more. We also service all major opener brands during the same visit.
