WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GARAGE DOOR MAINTENANCE?
Timely preventive garage door maintenance can provide numerous benefits, such as:
- Detects minor issues early: Regular attention can help you find small problems before they become major repair issues.
- Saves money: It’s less expensive to perform a minor fix than wait until you need an extensive repair or a door replacement.
- Prolongs the door’s life span: A well-maintained garage door can last for 15 to 20 years or longer. Timely service can maximize the time frame until you need to upgrade.
- Ensures safe operation: A garage door can weigh from 130 to over 400 pounds, depending on the material, size and other factors. Regular maintenance can prevent accidents caused by a door or opener malfunction.
- Enhances security: A stable, properly functioning door can deter burglars from entering the garage and stealing your possessions or accessing other areas of your home.
- Boosts curb appeal: Keeping your garage door clean and in good repair makes your property more attractive and increases its value.
