We Offer Garage Door Opener Inspections

Your garage door is your home's largest moving object, and the opener is in charge of that movement. With the opener running your garage door multiple times a day all year long, it quickly builds up wear and tear. That’s why it’s important to schedule annual garage door opener inspections along with the rest of your garage door system. 

That way, you can avoid more costly garage door opener repair. A garage door tune-up checks all the components for wear and provides replacement parts to keep your opener running with the best reliability and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Do Garage Door Openers Last?

The average lifespan of a garage door opener is 10 to 15 years, depending on the type and your maintenance routine. We always recommend investing in a quality opener and keeping up with annual maintenance to ensure the longest lifespan. 

Why Is My Garage Door Opener Flashing?

A flashing garage door opener means that it cannot detect that the safety sensors are working or connected. These sensors are an important safety mechanism to prevent the door from closing on anyone or anything. A flashing opener light could also mean there is an issue with the wiring on your garage door opener. 

Why Is My Garage Door Opener Running but Not Moving the Door?

If your garage door doesn’t move but you can hear the opener’s motor running, you may have a broken gear drive that needs replacement. Another common issue is a stripped gear or chain that has come off the sprocket. 

Why Does My Garage Door Automatically Reverse When I Try to Open It?

If your garage door closes part of the way and then automatically reverses, this means the sensors are registering an obstruction or malfunction. This is a safety mechanism to prevent the door from crushing anything underneath it. Try cleaning and readjusting the sensors on either side of the opening before attempting to close the door again.

Our FAQ

Common Answers To Your Questions
  • What is the Life Expectancy of a Garage Door?

    The average life expectancy of a garage door is 15-30 years. To help extend this lifespan, we recommend scheduling annual garage door maintenance. This keeps your garage door parts running more smoothly, delaying the need for repairs or replacement. You can also wash and repaint your garage door exterior periodically to get the longest possible lifespan out of your garage door.

  • What Causes Garage Doors to Break?

    The two main causes of a broken garage door are lack of maintenance and accidents with vehicles. The most important garage door maintenance steps include lubricating the rollers, bearings, pulleys, and springs once a year and making proper adjustments to the counterbalance system to maintain the door’s balance. If an accident happens with your garage door, it’s important to (269) 443-1093">call quickly for repairs. We offer same-day garage door service near Portage & Kalamazoo, MI!

  • How Long Do Garage Door Springs Last?

    The average spring breaks after 7 to 12 years with typical usage, lasting 10-15,000 cycles, depending on the type of spring. A “cycle” is one full opening and closing of the door. If a garage door has two or more springs and one breaks, then you should have all the springs replaced to maintain proper balance. Be sure to check our Garage Door Spring Repair page for more information.

  • What Garage Door Maintenance Do You Recommend?

    Although you should always let a certified professional take care of major garage door repairs, there are some garage door maintenance steps you can take.

    – Lubricate your garage or overhead door track every six months using a silicone-based lubricant.
    – Clean the weather stripping with vinyl cleaner and lubricate it every few months.
    – Monitor your garage door operation, listening for unusual noises or movements that could indicate a problem.
    – If you have a painted door, periodically repaint the exterior to help protect it from weathering and update the look of your home.
