Your garage door operates over 1,500 times per year. Without proper care, wear and tear lead to unexpected failures and safety hazards.
A $149 maintenance tune-up can prevent $800+ emergency repairs. We catch worn rollers, fraying cables, and loose hardware before they fail catastrophically, saving you money and stress.
Faulty safety sensors and worn springs pose serious risks to children and pets. Our maintenance includes comprehensive safety testing to protect your loved ones from accidents and injuries.
Well-maintained garage doors last 25-30 years versus 10-15 years for neglected systems. Regular lubrication and adjustments reduce strain on motors, springs, and openers, doubling your investment's value.
Squeaking, grinding, and rattling disturb your household and neighbors. Our maintenance service includes premium lubrication and nylon roller upgrades for whisper-quiet performance that won't wake sleeping family members.
Ottawa's extreme temperatures and humidity warp seals and create gaps. We inspect and replace weather stripping to keep cold air, water, and pests out while maintaining energy efficiency and protecting stored belongings.
Your garage door represents 30% of your home's curb appeal. Regular maintenance prevents rust, dents, and fading that detract from appearance and reduce resale value. Keep your home looking its best with minimal investment.
Every maintenance visit includes a thorough examination of your entire garage door system to identify wear before it causes failure.
Measure balance and inspect for rust, gaps, or wear in torsion and extension springs.

Our climate puts unique stress on garage door systems. Our maintenance schedule is designed to prepare your door for each season's specific demands.
Inspect winter damage, lubricate after cold months, check weather seals for cracking, and test opener strain from heavy use.
Check for wood expansion, lubricate to prevent rust from humidity, inspect electronic components for heat stress, and clean photo eyes.
Replace worn weather stripping, lubricate before cold arrives, test heater functionality if equipped, and clear tracks of falling debris.
