Door maintenance

Most emergencies announce themselves months earlier as a squeak, a wobble or a door that feels heavier. Our 26-point tune-up catches them, tightens what's loose, and leaves you a written report.

Garage door maintenance

Florida Garage Door Experts helps its customers keep their garage door working for years. Our clients enjoy the convenience of their opener and hardly ever face trouble with the door. How? With an annual maintenance service.

Routine checks keep the door working and keep you out of the awkward situation of being stuck with it closed. We are here for the tougher problems, when a door stops opening and closing entirely, but with regular maintenance the chances of landing there drop a lot.

How do you know you need a spring repair?

As your garage door ages it becomes less effective. The steel loses resiliency and the door begins to feel heavier. New springs let you lift the door with about 10 pounds of force. Near the end of their life, you need almost as much force as the door weighs.

What does our maintenance service include?

Problems can be avoided with maintenance. Here's why. When our technicians visit for a check, they inspect the whole door for faults: components that need adjusting or replacing, parts worn from use or near the end of their cycle. We inform you, suggest solutions, and replace parts before the whole door jams and you need a more expensive repair.

A door used every day needs care. We evaluate the door, adjust the springs and cables, set the opener force, and check every sensor and remote. Our checks cover every part, with fixing and tightening included. We also lubricate the rollers and cables when needed so the door runs quietly.

You can trust us with your garage door

Our technicians are devoted to good results. We service every kind of system, including the most advanced ones, and troubleshoot anything that needs specific handling so your door keeps operating safely.
