Garage door tune-up service.
Same-day Palm Beach County dispatch. Written warranty. Eric answers.
A garage door tune-up is the single most cost-effective maintenance step you can take. For $129 we lubricate every moving part, check spring tension and door balance, tighten loose hardware, test the photo-eye safety sensors and auto-reverse, and identify any components heading toward failure. Customers who tune up annually replace springs and openers about 30% less often than those who don't.
Florida garage doors need tune-ups more than the national average. Humidity accelerates lubricant breakdown; salt air east of US-1 corrodes hardware faster; daily temperature swings stress spring metal. A simple annual lubrication + balance check extends average door lifespan from 18 years to 25+.
We schedule tune-ups year-round but most customers book them in late spring (April-May) before hurricane season — it's the right time to catch any issue that would matter during a major storm.
Is this you?
Lubrication
All springs, hinges, rollers, tracks, and bearings lubricated with silicone-based garage door lubricant rated for Florida humidity.
Balance check
Disconnect opener, manually lift door, check that it stays at any height. Adjust spring tension if needed.
Hardware tighten
Every bolt, screw, and bracket checked and tightened to spec. Loose hardware is the leading cause of premature roller failure.
Safety sensor + auto-reverse test
Photo-eye sensor alignment confirmed. Auto-reverse tested (place a 2x4 in the path; door must reverse on contact).
Pre-failure inspection
We identify worn rollers, frayed cables, fatigued springs, and other components heading toward failure. Quote any needed work in writing.
Pre-hurricane assessment
If tuning up before hurricane season, we assess wind-load compliance and identify any reinforcement that would help during a major storm.

Common questions.
How often should I get a tune-up?
Annually for most Florida homes. Coastal east-of-US-1 homes and households cycling the door 6+ times daily benefit from twice-yearly tune-ups.
What's the difference between a tune-up and a repair?
A tune-up is preventive — we lubricate, balance, tighten, and test before anything has failed. A repair is reactive — fixing something already broken. Tune-ups cost less and extend the lifespan of every component.
When's the best time to tune up?
Late spring (April-May) before hurricane season. This catches any issue that would matter during a major storm and ensures the door performs optimally through the wet summer.
Will a tune-up fix my noisy door?
Often yes — most squeaking and rattling is solved by lubrication and tightening loose hardware during a tune-up. If the noise persists, we identify the specific failing component during the inspection.
Do you offer a maintenance plan?
Yes — our 'Annual Three' plan includes three lubrication-and-inspection visits per year for $249, plus 10% off any repair work needed during the year.
