Garage Door Service Phoenix, Az

Garage doors need regular maintenance to maintain a properly working system.  There are many moving parts on garage doors that are designed to wear out over time.  Keeping you garage door service up to date can help insure maximum life out of your garage door parts.  It is suggested my garage door manufacturers to lubricate you garage door at least 3-4 times per year.  It is never recommended to us anytime of grease or thick lubricant that will build up in the track.  This may keep your door quiet but in the long run the build of grease will hinder the performance of the door and attract a lot of dirt and dust that we do not want stuck on the tracks.  Using a Teflon or silicone spray is the best option to maintain a quiet, smooth, and clean garage door.

The most important parts to lubricate on your garage doors in Phoenix are as follows:

1. Garage door rollers
2. Garage door hinges
3. Bearings and springs

*It is never suggested to put any lubricant directly in your garage door tracks, as this can lead to the need for garage door repairs.*

Every year over 13,000 people are injured trying to repair their garage door themselves. In most cases these injuries are not minor cuts and scrapes, but more likely to be broken bones and in extreme cases death. This is why we always recommend hiring a professional garage door repair company to handle your repairs. In most cases the amount of money you will save by doing it yourself is very minimal in comparison to the possible injuries you may incur.  

Example:

Garage door spring replacement in phoenix on average will run you between $200-$300 including service, parts, and labor. If you were to purchase the springs and try to repair it yourself the springs would range in price from $120-$200. In addition to the cost of the springs you have to account for the time spent replacing the springs. As we all know time is money and all our time is worth something. On average it takes a professional about 30-60 min to change a pair of torsion springs on a standard residential garage doors. An inexperienced homeowner may spend 2-3 times as long attempting the same repair. Let's say you believe your time is worth $20hr (I would say all of ours is worth much more) and it takes you two hours to replace the springs yourself you have now invested $160-$240 in to your garage door spring repair. You took a serious risk to save $40-$60. In most circumstances this risk is not worth the return.
