Garage Door Maintenance & Tune-Up in Hampton Roads
Every garage door in Hampton Roads fights the same enemies: salt air, humidity, 10,000 open-close cycles, and slow vibration loosening every bolt. An annual tune-up catches every one of those problems before they become a 10 PM emergency call — and costs about a tenth of what you'd spend on a single emergency repair.
Signs you need maintenance & tune-up
- You've never had the door serviced and it's 5+ years old
- Door is getting louder than it used to be
- You notice occasional hesitation or jumps
- You live near the water (salt air accelerates everything)
- You want the door to keep looking and running like new

Maintenance & Tune-Up FAQ
How often should I get my door tuned up?
Annually, or every other year if it's a low-use door. Coastal homes: every year without exception — salt air is that hard on springs and cables.
What's included in the $129?
All labor, all inspection, lubrication of all moving parts, hardware torque, safety tests, and a written report. Any parts replaced are extra and quoted before we proceed.
Can a tune-up really extend the door's life?
Yes — significantly. Springs cycle to failure from metal fatigue; that fatigue accelerates when the door is out of balance. A tuned, balanced door puts 20–30% less strain on the springs and opener. We routinely see tuned doors run 15+ years trouble-free.
Do you offer a maintenance plan?
Yes — $229/year for 2 scheduled tune-ups, 10% off any repairs, priority scheduling, and a guaranteed annual reminder. Worth it if you have multiple doors or a high-use door.
