3 Reasons You Need Annual Garage Door Maintenance
Your garage is likely the most often used entrance for your home — and for average homes, it’s estimated the garage door is opened and closed 1,500 or more times per year. With frequent use, it’s common for your garage door to experience normal wear and tear like unreliable hardware, or to require a lubricant application for moving parts. To keep your garage in proper, safe and reliable working condition, garage door experts recommend having regular garage door service performed by a professional at least once every year. By having regular maintenance, you can prevent hazardous conditions, save money and extend the lifespan of your garage door.
1. Improve Safe Daily Garage Door Operations
Properly maintaining your garage door can prevent breakages that can either leave you stranded or hurt someone nearby. Garage door injuries are a common occurrence for homeowners who attempt their own fixes to a broken door — often caused by improper handling of springs or attempting to lift an extremely heavy door. Homeowners attempting to fix their garage doors with their own tools can not only injure themselves but also unintentionally damage other components and hardware of the door or surrounding property. By having a professional perform regular maintenance or repairs, you can prevent self-injury and ensure proper functionality.
2. Keep Up Daily Convenience
When you have routine garage door maintenance, you can identify and repair potential failures early on before they become a problem. Without proper maintenance, you may find that your garage door won’t open or close as you need it to — leaving you stuck inside the garage when you need to leave for work or errands or being unable to open the garage and having to leave your car outside in hot or cool temperatures or vulnerable during intense storms. With regular maintenance, you can also have improved peace of mind that your garage door will always reliably open and close as you expect and won’t leave your property damaged or pose safety risks.
3. Maintain Your Family’s Budget
Most annual garage door maintenance plans are less expensive than common garage door repairs. Having regular maintenance can highlight damaged or broken components of your garage door that can lead to additional strain and harm on other parts and hardware, causing them to wear faster and also need repairs. With frequent repairs, you may find yourself in a repair pattern that, with regular parts and labor costs, will be more expensive than just maintenance.
