Garage Door Maintenance & Why It’s Important

With proper routine garage door maintenance (a great way to prevent problems and ensure that your garage door is safe) you can expect your garage door to last 20-30 years. That is a long time when you think about how many times you open and close it each week. In fact, it is easy to ignore your garage door for weeks, months, or even years  assuming that it is working just fine. Rather than wait for the day that you push the door opener, and your garage door fails to open or close, you may want to consider routine maintenance. The team at Rise & Shine Garage Doors specializes in residential and commercial garage door maintenance.

Prevent Garage Door Problems with Regular Maintenance

Garage door maintenance can extend the life of your garage door and save you money over time because of large scale repairs. We recommend having your garage door checked periodically by a licensed and experienced garage door repair expert so that you are not left one day with a garage door that suddenly does not work. That can be a real inconvenience.
