How Often Does a Residential Garage Door Need To Be Serviced?
We recommend our regular residential garage door maintenance service on an annual basis. We recommend that this service be performed ideally before any cold and inclement weather begins so that you do not find yourself with an inoperable door in weather where you need your garage door to work correctly the most.
If you use your door several times per day, such as in a commercial facility, we recommend more regular service intervals during the year. If you find that your doors are not operating as well as they have in the past or as you have come to expect, this is also a sign that it is time to schedule regular maintenance of residential garage doors.
What Is The Cost of Maintenance Service?
In general, we can perform our standard maintenance of garage doors for less than $85. If our inspection finds issues that need to be addressed, your cost may increase.
Items that need to be repaired or replaced could increase the cost of the maintenance services for residential garage doors. Remember that these items are vital for adequately working domestic garage doors at all times.
