How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend professional maintenance at least once a year to ensure safe and reliable operation. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your garage door by 5-10 years and help identify potential issues before they become expensive repairs. During a maintenance visit, our technicians will inspect all moving parts including springs, cables, rollers, and tracks. We'll lubricate all components with professional-grade lubricant, test safety features like auto-reverse and photo-eyes, and make necessary adjustments to ensure proper balance and alignment. Many Vista homeowners on maintenance plans save hundreds of dollars annually by catching small problems before they escalate. We recommend scheduling your annual tune-up in spring or fall when temperatures are moderate.

What are the signs that my garage door springs need replacement?

Common signs include difficulty opening or closing the door, the door appearing crooked when moving, visible gaps in the spring coils, loud banging noises, or the door falling faster than normal. Springs typically last 7-12 years depending on usage frequency—a door used 4 times daily will wear springs faster than one used twice daily. If you've heard a loud bang like a firecracker from your garage, a spring has likely broken and you should not attempt to operate the door. Broken springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury if handled improperly. Our certified technicians have the specialized tools and training to safely replace springs. We stock standard spring sizes on our trucks for same-day replacement and offer high-cycle springs that can last up to 20 years for high-usage households.
