Garage Door Maintenance

As a responsible homeowner, the absolute best thing you can do to preserve and extend the lifespan of your garage door is regular maintenance. Today’s garage doors are more durable and reliable than ever before, but that does not mean they don’t still require a bit of care and attention every once in a while.

Aside from extraordinary events like accidents or storm damage, neglect is the number one cause of the deterioration and shortened lifespan of garage doors. Ignoring small issues can quickly lead to more severe problems that will inevitably result in higher repair costs and unexpected breakdowns.

Our experience in the industry has taught us that for the best results, homeowners should have their garage doors inspected and maintained on an annual basis for newer doors and biannually for older models. Neighborly Garage Door Pros would be happy to assess your garage door in-person and develop a maintenance schedule suitable for its current condition.
