Garage Door Tune-Up vs. Repair: Understanding the Difference
What is a Garage Door Tune-Up?
A garage door tune-up is preventative maintenance focused on optimizing your door’s performance by performing an inspection, adjustment, lubrication, and minor repairs. This service helps identify potential issues early and maximizes your door’s efficiency, quietness, and lifespan.

- It's been more than a year since your last professional service.

- You want to prevent future problems and extend your door's life.
- Your door requires small adjustments or minor part replacements.
- Major components have failed (broken springs, snapped cables, etc.)
- The door won't open or close at all.
- There's significant physical damage to panels or tracks.
- The opener has completely failed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Garage Door Tune-up
FAQS
How often should I schedule a garage door tune-up?
For residential doors with standard usage, we recommend a professional tune-up twice yearly, typically in spring and fall. Commercial doors or residential doors with heavy usage may benefit from quarterly service.
How long does a tune-up take to complete?
A standard garage door tune-up typically takes 60-90 minutes for a single door. Additional time may be needed if minor repairs are necessary.
Will a tune-up fix my broken garage door?
If your door has a major component failure (broken spring, snapped cable, damaged opener), you’ll need repair service rather than a tune-up. However, our technicians come prepared to handle many common repairs during your scheduled tune-up if needed.
