How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend having your garage door professionally serviced at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, extends the life of your door and opener, and ensures safe operation. Our annual tune-up includes lubrication, safety checks, balance testing, and minor adjustments.

What should I do if my garage door won't open?

First, check if the opener is receiving power and that the remote batteries aren't dead. Look for any visible obstructions in the door's path and ensure the emergency release hasn't been engaged. If these basic checks don't resolve the issue, call us for a professional diagnosis. Avoid attempting to force the door open, as this could cause further damage or injury.
