What causes motor failure in garage doors?

Garage door motor failure can stem from several common causes. First, age and wear are primary factors – most motors last 10-15 years with proper maintenance. Power surges from storms can damage internal electronics and capacitors. Overheating occurs when motors run too long, especially during extreme temperatures or when lifting doors that are too heavy. Worn gears inside the motor housing eventually strip and fail. Lack of maintenance leads to dirt buildup and lubrication breakdown. Additionally, using the wrong motor size for your door's weight strains the unit. Regular professional maintenance can identify these issues early and extend your motor's lifespan by several years.

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend professional garage door maintenance at least once per year, ideally in the spring or fall. During a maintenance visit, our technicians inspect all components, lubricate moving parts, check spring tension, test safety features, and identify potential issues before they become costly repairs. Homes with high usage (multiple daily cycles) may benefit from bi-annual service. Regular maintenance extends the life of your door by 5-10 years and helps prevent unexpected breakdowns.

What warranty do you offer on installations?

We provide a comprehensive 5-Year Warranty on all garage door installations and repairs. This covers parts and labor for any defects in workmanship or materials. Additionally, manufacturer warranties on doors and openers typically range from 1-10 years depending on the product. Our warranty is fully transferable if you sell your home, adding value to your property. We stand behind every job we do.
