What maintenance tasks can I perform to extend the lifespan of my garage door?
Regularly lubricate moving parts, keep tracks clean, inspect and replace weatherstripping as needed, and visually check for damage. However, for in-depth maintenance, it’s wise to schedule professional service.
What should I do if my garage door is stuck in the open position?
If your garage door is stuck open, it’s important to avoid using it and call our emergency repair service immediately. Continuing to operate a malfunctioning door can be dangerous.

We periodically run promotions and discounts on our services. Be sure to check our website or contact us to inquire about any ongoing offers or special deals.
Are there any specific maintenance tasks I should perform during different seasons to keep my garage door in good condition?
Yes, seasonal maintenance can help. For example, lubricating moving parts in winter to prevent freezing and keeping tracks clean in spring to remove debris and pollen.
What is the black residue on my garage door?
It usually comes from the oil coating on the torsion springs above the door, and it is harmless. Washing the door once a year with mild soap and warm water takes it off.
What causes rust spots on a garage door?
Road salt and ice melt splashed up from the driveway, or splatter from a driveway cleaner, are the usual causes. Wash the door with mild soap and warm water, more often in winter, and never use a pressure washer. If rust has eaten through the bottom of a steel door, see when a new door makes more sense.
Can the bottom seal on my garage door be replaced?
Yes. Most bottom seals can be replaced, and a new one keeps out cold air, water, leaves and pests. See our bottom seal and weatherstripping service.
Why is the top section of my garage door cracked or bent?
Most of the time the cause is the opener setup, not the door itself: a missing or misplaced strut, an opener bracket in the wrong spot, the wrong opener angle, a close limit set so the opener pushes hard at the end, or weak springs that leave the opener doing the lifting. A door that hit something while closing can bend it too. We can replace the section and fix the cause. See panel replacement.
Why does water get in through my garage door?
Garage doors are not fully watertight. The window seals, the joints between sections and the bottom seal keep out most wind-driven rain, but a door moves and flexes in strong wind, so a little water can get in during a hard storm. A worn bottom seal or a gap at the floor is the most common cause we fix.
