Your garage door is one of the hardest-working pieces of equipment in your home. It opens and closes multiple times a day — in fact, according to Today.com the average door opens and closes around 1,500 times a year. That’s a lot of strain on a lot of moving parts. Modern garage doors are built to last for years, but you will only get the maximum life out of yours if you take proper maintenance steps. A minor garage door repair here and there is inevitable, but major repairs and replacements should not be necessary for many years.


Garage Door Maintenance


The best way to avoid unnecessary garage door repairs is to perform routine checks and maintenance measures. Inspecting the door, testing for tension issues, keeping the door properly balanced, and keeping rollers lubed can all go a long way in preventing costly repairs.


While some homeowners feel comfortable performing routine checks of their garage door, others may want to pay a small fee to have a certified technician come out and go through a garage door tune-up. Professional tune-ups can keep things running smoothly, and they also present an opportunity to catch problems when they are small and can be easily repaired. If you don’t feel comfortable maintaining your garage door on your own, call a professional. It is better than waiting until you have to call someone because the door needs a major repair.

Garage Door Repair


There are a lot of things that can go wrong with a garage door. In order to function properly, the rollers, tracks, motor, springs, cable drums, top and bottom brackets, and all other parts all have to be working together. A problem with any of the components of the door can cause issues with proper function. Here are some of the most common problems with garage doors and how much you are likely to have to pay for the repair:

​

  • Cables and chains wear out over time, especially if they are not lubed properly or if there is improper tension on the cables. While these parts are not very expensive, the labor can be time-consuming. 
     

  • Broken or aging springs are a common problem with many garage doors. The springs are what make it easier for the door to open both automatically or manually despite its heavyweight. 
     

  • If the door won’t open, many homeowners look first to a problem with their garage door opener. While it is not always a faulty opener, it definitely could be. 
     

  • Replacing the panels on a garage door may be necessary if there has been major damage to the door itself. Large dents, scrapes, or other issues may necessitate the replacement of one or more of the panels.


To avoid costly garage door repairs, perform routine maintenance on your door either yourself or by calling a professional for regular tune-ups. If your garage door is in need of a repair or is not working properly, it is a good idea to address the issue right away, as a matter of safety.
