As was the case in 2020, spending more time at home looks to be on the horizon for the new year. Keeping yours in tip-top shape ensures a stress-free stay. Look after your home and your garage door, setting yourself up for a happy new year free of garage door drama with these garage door resolutions for 2021.

Stop Sidelining Garage Door Maintenance Tasks

Are you tired of working around garage door malfunctions? Our garage door service technicians know it’s not uncommon for homeowners to wait until their garage door system is totally defunct to have it repaired. But this often leads to excessive service costs – and rarely happens at a convenient time. In 2021, get proactive about garage door maintenance, addressing issues like garage doors that don’t open smoothly, unusually noisy operation, or doors that are stuck in a timely fashion. 

Once you’ve repaired your garage door system, plan a garage door maintenance schedule. Put monitoring your garage door system on your monthly home maintenance task list, adding it to your calendar, or setting a reminder on your phone. If something seems off, schedule service. Otherwise, stick to your annual preventative maintenance plan.

Verify Garage Door Opener Performance and Safety

If your garage door opener struggles to manage the door’s weight or the auto-reverse system is malfunctioning, don’t wait to schedule garage door service. These issues are dangerous, putting children and pets at risk. If your door has gotten excessively loud over the past few weeks or months, it may be time for a new garage door opener. Our experienced team can help you find the right garage door opener to meet your needs and budget, including belt, screw, or chain-driven systems. We offer a variety of options from leading brands like Chamberlain and Liftmaster, including smart, mobile device driven models, sleek, space-saving designs, and standard garage door opening systems.
