MAINTENANCE & TUNE-UPS · MOCKSVILLE & THE TRIAD
THE CHEAP FIX IS THE ONE YOU SCHEDULE.
Every door that fails at 10pm gave warnings for months. A once-a-year tune-up catches the worn part while it's a twenty-dollar problem instead of a two-hundred-dollar one.
WHAT WE DO.
- Lubrication of springs, rollers, and hinges
- Hardware tightening top to bottom
- Cable and spring wear inspection
- Track alignment check
- Safety sensor and auto-reverse testing
- Weatherstripping and seal check
- Opener force and travel assessment
WHAT A TUNE-UP CATCHES EARLY.
- Cables starting to fray years before they snap.
- Springs losing tension, making the opener grind itself to death.
- Rollers flattening and hinges loosening into rattles.
- Safety sensors knocked out of line by a broom or a bike.
- Seals cracking and letting water, mice, and January into the garage.
A garage door goes up and down a thousand times a year. It's a machine, and machines that never get serviced fail on their own schedule, which is always a worse schedule than yours.
Our tune-up runs the whole system: we lubricate every moving part with the right product (not WD-40, which strips grease), tighten the hardware, check cable and spring wear, test the balance, verify the auto-reverse catches, and look over the seals. You get a plain-English rundown of what's fine, what's wearing, and what's worth fixing now versus watching.
Ask about a yearly reminder. We keep track of when your door was last serviced so you don't have to, and most tune-up customers never meet us at 10pm with a flashlight.
One visit a year. We track the schedule and remind you, so the door stays off your list.
STRAIGHT ANSWERS.
REVIEWED AUGUST 2026
How often should a garage door be serviced?
Once a year for most doors. It's the hardest-working moving thing on the house: the average door cycles over a thousand times a year, and the parts that fail expensively all telegraph it early to someone who knows the sound.
What does a tune-up include?
We tighten every bolt and bracket, lubricate rollers, hinges, and springs, balance-test the door, check the cables for fray, confirm the safety sensors and force settings, and tell you plainly what's wearing and what's fine.
Is an annual tune-up really worth it?
The math says yes. Springs, cables, and openers rarely fail without warning signs first. Catching a fraying cable on a tune-up visit is a small job; meeting it on a Saturday night as an off-track door is not.
