Importance of Regular Garage Door Maintenance

Think about just how many times you open and close your garage door each day…each week…and each month. You may open it to drive your car(s) in and out, to access recreational equipment, your lawn mower. You also may use your garage to store kids’ items, holiday decorations and many other things that simply do not have a perfect home inside. Over time, all of this use adds up and requires all parts of your garage door to remain in good working order. Routine maintenance is a way to keep your garage door working when you need it and the team at Rise & Shine Garage Doors can help.

Annual Garage Door Maintenance

Routine garage door maintenance has many benefits. First, it can save you a significant amount of money over time. Making sure that the main components of your garage door are working correctly can prevent a major problem down the road. In addition, regular maintenance can actually extend the life of your garage door and can protect you from having an unexpected issue with a complete failure of your garage door. Our crew follows a comprehensive checklist when we come out to your home:
