Proactive Garage Door Maintenance in South Florida

Prevents Problems Before They Start

Your garage door is one of the most used systems in your home or business, and when it’s not properly maintained, small issues can quickly turn into major disruptions. At Big Red Garage Doors, we offer preventative garage door maintenance across the South Florida region. With licensed technicians and honest service, we help South Florida homeowners and businesses stay ahead of garage door problems before they become major headaches.

Small Problems, Big Headaches

Garage doors aren’t just heavy — they’re complex. A torsion spring system or pair of extension springs supports hundreds of pounds that make up steel, wood, or fiberglass garage doors. When these systems fall out of alignment or wear down, it can cause:

Unbalanced garage doors that slam, squeak, or jam
Strained or broken garage door openers
Worn rollers that wobble or jump the track
Unsafe tension in the springs or cables
Malfunctioning garage door safety sensors that could injure people or pets

Whether you own a commercial garage that opens dozens of times a day or just a simple two-car garage at home, neglecting garage door maintenance can cost you more in the long run — in both money and downtime.

Why Regular Garage Door Maintenance Service is Worth It

Regular garage door maintenance is the easiest way to avoid costly surprises. Our tune-ups help catch worn parts early, keep your opener and tracks running smoothly, and make sure everything is safe and balanced.

By investing in routine care, you’ll:

Avoid expensive garage door repairs
Extend the lifespan of your door and garage door opener
Improve insulation and energy efficiency (especially on sectional steel and foam-insulated doors)
Protect people and property with tested safety sensors and force settings

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Overhead Door Maintenance

How often should I schedule garage door maintenance?

Most residential garage doors should be serviced once a year. If you manage a commercial facility with daily traffic, we recommend twice a year or quarterly checks. Preventive garage maintenance is the best way to avoid downtime and extend the life of your system.

Does maintenance include checking my garage door opener?

Yes. We inspect and test your garage door opener, including its force settings, auto-reverse function, and safety sensors. We also assess the opener’s wear, belt or chain condition, and integration with your door’s balance and spring system.

What kind of garage doors do you maintain?

We work on nearly all major door types: steel garage doors, aluminum full-view panels, fiberglass doors, wood, and composite materials. We also maintain roll-up doors, sectional overhead doors, motorized doors, and both residential and commercial systems.

Can maintenance improve my door’s energy efficiency?

Absolutely. We check for worn or missing weather seals, gaps between panels, and insulation breakdown on foam-injected sectional doors. A well-maintained, properly sealed garage door can help regulate temperatures and reduce energy loss — especially for attached garages.

Will I know if something needs to be repaired during a maintenance visit?

Yes — we provide a detailed report after each garage door maintenance service. If we find anything concerning, like a worn torsion spring or loose garage door cables, we’ll show you what we found and give you honest repair recommendations.

Is garage door maintenance really worth the cost?

Yes! Maintenance visits cost far less than emergency repairs or part replacements. By investing in routine service, you prevent expensive breakdowns, extend the life of your opener and door, and protect your home or business from sudden disruptions.
