Multi-Point Inspection · Lubrication · Safety Test
An annual garage door tune-up is the single best way to avoid an emergency call. We lubricate all moving parts, check spring condition, calibrate opener settings, test safety reversal, and flag anything likely to fail in the next 6–12 months — so you can plan ahead instead of react.
Every tune-up follows the same comprehensive checklist — whether it's a 2-year-old door in Conway or a 25-year-old door in the Heights. We inspect every mechanical component, lubricate every friction point, and calibrate every safety system. If we find something that needs attention, we quote it separately with no pressure.
Check for rust, elongation, gaps between coils, and remaining cycle life. Identify springs nearing failure before they snap.
Check for fraying, kinks, and corrosion on both cables. Inspect cable routing on drums and condition of bottom brackets.
Check all rollers for wear, flat spots, and bearing condition. Recommend nylon upgrade when steel rollers are creating noise.
Verify both tracks are plumb, properly spaced, and securely mounted to header and wall brackets. Adjust if needed.
Lubricate springs, roller bearings, hinges, and bearing plates with professional-grade garage door lubricant. Not WD-40.
Tighten all bracket bolts, hinge bolts, track mounting hardware, and opener mounting hardware. Vibration loosens everything over time.
Calibrate the opener's up and down force limits. Incorrect force settings cause the door to reverse prematurely or fail to close completely.
Set the opener's up and down travel limits so the door opens fully and closes flush to the floor with proper seal compression.
Test the opener's mechanical auto-reverse by placing a 2x4 on the floor. The door must reverse within 2 seconds of contact. Federal safety requirement.
Verify both photo-eye sensors are aligned, clean, and wired properly. Misaligned sensors prevent the door from closing.
Inspect bottom seal and side/top weatherstripping. Cracked or missing seals let in water, pests, and Arkansas heat/cold.
Run multiple open/close cycles observing balance, speed, noise, and smooth travel. Document any issues found and provide a written summary.
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| 12-point tune-up & safety inspection (single door) | $99 |
| 12-point tune-up (two doors, same visit) | $149 |
| Tune-up + nylon roller upgrade (single door) | $199 – $275 |
| Tune-up + nylon roller upgrade (two doors) | $325 – $425 |
| Weatherstripping replacement (bottom seal) | $75 – $125 |
If we discover components that need repair during the tune-up, we quote those separately with no obligation. You're never pressured to approve additional work.
A full 12-point tune-up starts at $99 for a single door and $149 for two doors on the same visit. The nylon roller upgrade add-on is $199–$275 and is our most popular combo.
We recommend annual maintenance. In Central Arkansas, humidity, heat, and storm exposure accelerate wear on springs, cables, and rollers faster than drier climates.
Our 12-point inspection covers spring condition, cable inspection, roller assessment, track alignment, full lubrication, hardware tightening, opener force/travel calibration, safety auto-reverse test, photo-eye alignment, weatherstripping check, and full cycle test.
It can't prevent a spring from eventually reaching its cycle limit, but it can identify springs showing warning signs — rust, elongation, gaps between coils — before they fail. Plan a replacement on your schedule instead of dealing with an emergency.
Yes — it's our most popular add-on. Full upgrade from steel to 13-ball-bearing sealed nylon rollers. Dramatically reduces door noise and puts less strain on the opener motor.
Yes. Most garage door emergencies show warning signs weeks or months before failure. A $99 tune-up is a fraction of a $400 emergency spring replacement at 6am.
$99 tune-up. 12-point inspection. Prevent the emergency before it happens.
