A garage door is the largest moving part of most homes - and the one homeowners forget. A yearly tune-up costs less than one emergency repair and adds years to the life of springs, cables, rollers, and the opener.

  • Manufacturer-grade lithium lubricant
  • Annual reminders so you never miss it
  • HOA / property-manager contracts available
Lubricating garage door rollers and hinges

What our tune-up covers

Door balance and spring tension check, cable inspection, roller and hinge inspection and replacement of any worn parts, track alignment, hardware tightening, lubrication of all moving points with the correct lubricant (never WD-40 - it strips lubricant), weather seal inspection, opener force and limit verification, photo-eye alignment, and the safety auto-reverse test.

Coastal homes need it more often

Salt air corrodes rollers, hinges, springs, and bottom hardware significantly faster than inland air. For homes in Monterey, Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, Carmel, Seaside, Marina, and Capitola we recommend service every 12 months and often catch a corroded part before it strands the door.

Property managers and HOAs

We run scheduled maintenance programs for property managers and HOAs across the service area - one truck, multiple units, predictable pricing. Ask about our annual contract pricing.

Frequently asked questions

How often should a garage door be serviced?

Once a year is recommended on a residential home, unless your door is not operating correctly or getting noisy.

Can I just spray WD-40 on it?

Please don’t. WD-40 is a solvent - it strips lubricant rather than adding it. Use a lithium garage-door lube on rollers, hinges, and the spring; nothing on the chain or belt.

How long does a tune-up take?

About an hour for a single residential door, longer if we find anything that needs replacement (you’ll get a written estimate before any extra work).

Had a problem with our opener rail and another broken hinge. Great service with nice workmen who serviced the whole door too. Very happy.

Kyle, Ginger and Drew were all fantastic. They were so professional, detailed and responsive. Drew's installation was so seamless. I got to watch him at various stages of the garage door installation.
