Garage Door Maintenance

Keep Your Door Running Smooth and Quiet

Garage doors don’t need daily attention, but they do need regular care. Just like a car engine or HVAC system, small issues can turn into big repairs if ignored. At Rodger’s Roll-up Garage Doors, we offer simple maintenance visits that help you avoid surprise breakdowns, save money, and extend the life of your system.

Why Garage Door Maintenance Matters

Your garage door works harder than almost anything in your home. It opens and closes thousands of times each year. Over time, parts shift, metal grinds, and tension builds. That’s when trouble starts.

Here’s what routine maintenance helps prevent:

  • Broken springs
  • Crooked or unbalanced doors
  • Cable fraying
  • Roller or track wear
  • Motor burnout
  • Screeching, slamming, or jerky movement
  • Sensors falling out of alignment
  • Safety systems failing to trigger

A quick tune-up once or twice a year keeps everything working right, and lets us catch issues before they cost you.

What’s Included in a Maintenance Visit

Every maintenance check includes a full walkthrough of your garage door system. We don’t just oil a hinge and call it done, we check every moving part.

Here’s what we do:

  • Inspect all springs, cables, rollers, and hinges
  • Check track alignment and tighten brackets
  • Lubricate moving parts with garage-rated oil
  • Test opener response and motor performance
  • Reset limits and force if needed
  • Realign photo-eye sensors
  • Tighten loose bolts and fasteners
  • Check safety reverse system
  • Test balance and weight support
It takes about 45–60 minutes and can save you hours of headaches later.

How Often Should You Get Maintenance?

For most homes, once a year is enough. If your garage door gets a lot of daily use, or you run a business with commercial doors, we suggest every 6 months.

Still not sure? If your door is…

  • Over 5 years old
  • Used 5+ times a day
  • Making more noise than it used to
  • Starting to drag or bounce
  • Just installed and you want to keep it running right

…it’s probably time.

Peace of Mind Without the Upsell

We’re not here to sell you stuff you don’t need. If we spot worn parts, we’ll show you and explain the issue, but if everything looks good, you’ll get a clean report and a thank you for staying on top of things.

You’ll never be pressured into unnecessary repairs.

Your Door Shouldn’t Sound Like a Drum Solo

A healthy garage door shouldn’t shake, rattle, or scream when you open it. If yours has gotten louder or slower, don’t wait for a breakdown. One quick visit could save you from an expensive repair.
