Frequently asked questions.
Question for our services
We recommend professional maintenance for your garage door and opener at least once a year. Regular service ensures your system runs smoothly, extends its lifespan, and helps prevent unexpected breakdowns. If your garage door gets daily use, especially in extreme climates, consider a check-up every 6 months.
Look out for:
Loud or unusual noises
Slow or jerky movement
Sagging or misaligned door sections
Door not closing fully
Remote or wall button unresponsive
Addressing these early can prevent costly repairs later.
