Annual Maintenance

Most homeowners benefit from annual service to catch issues before they become emergencies.

Bi-Annual for High-Use Doors

If your door cycles 10+ times per day, consider maintenance every 6 months.

Pre-Winter Maintenance

Essential in Detroit to prevent cold-weather failures. Schedule maintenance in October-November.

Regular preventive maintenance pays off in multiple ways:

• Extends door life: Properly maintained doors last 5-7 years longer
• Prevents emergencies: Catch problems before they cause failures
• Saves money: Preventive maintenance costs less than emergency repairs
• Ensures safety: Regular safety inspection keeps your family safe
• Maintains warranty: Many warranties require annual maintenance
• Improves operation: Well-maintained doors operate smoothly and quietly
