Small service, big difference
Most garage door breakdowns give warning signs first: a little more noise, a jerk at the top, a door that feels heavier. A tune-up finds those signs early, when the fix is quick and inexpensive — not at 7 AM when your car is stuck inside.
Our multi-point tune-up
- Lubricate springs, hinges, rollers and bearings with garage-door-rated lubricant.
- Tighten hinges, brackets and track bolts that vibrate loose over time.
- Inspect springs for wear, rust and gaps.
- Inspect cables and drums for fraying, rust and proper winding.
- Check rollers and recommend upgrades if they're worn or noisy.
- Balance test — the door should stay put when lifted halfway by hand.
- Opener check — force, travel limits, drive and remotes.
- Safety test — photo-eye sensors and auto-reverse.
- Weather seal — check the bottom seal for gaps that let water and pests in.
How often?
Once a year for most homes. If your door is used many times a day — busy families, home workshops, or commercial doors — every six months is better. Fall is a smart time in Middle Tennessee, before the first freeze stresses springs.

Maintenance & Tune-Up — common questions
How often should a garage door be serviced?
Once a year for most homes, or every six months for doors used heavily.
What lubricant should I use on my garage door?
Use a silicone or lithium spray made for garage doors on hinges, rollers and springs. Avoid heavy grease on tracks — it collects dirt. Never lubricate nylon rollers' wheels, only their bearings.
Can a tune-up fix a noisy garage door?
Usually, yes. Most noise comes from dry hinges, worn rollers or loose hardware, which are exactly what a tune-up addresses.
