The Importance of Routine Garage Door Maintenance

Regular garage door maintenance is important for keeping your garage door in working order and extending its lifespan. Other reasons why routine garage door maintenance is important include:

• Safety: An improperly maintained door can be dangerous. Regular service reduces the risk of accidents and provides peace of mind.
• Costs: Routine maintenance can detect and correct minor issues before they become more expensive repair jobs.
• Longevity: A garage door can last 15-30 years, depending on the materials. Regular maintenance can maximize your door’s lifespan and lengthen the time between replacements.
• Security: A secure garage door in good condition can more effectively deter burglars and intruders who may attempt to use the garage to enter your home.
• Increased home value: If you plan to sell your home, a visually appealing, well-functioning garage door will boost your curb appeal and attract more buyers at a higher price.

For garage doors that are less than five years old, it’s recommended to have routine maintenance performed at least once a year. For any garage doors that are older than five years, it’s best to have your door maintained or inspected twice a year.
