How Often Should I Service My New Garage Door?

Wondering how often to service your garage door in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Palm Coast, Palatka, Orange Park, or Tampa? At Door Master Clinic, we recommend a professional garage door tune-up at least once every year—and sooner if you notice strange noises, jerky movement, or slow response. Regular maintenance keeps your system safe, smooth, and energy-efficient while preventing costly breakdowns down the line. Our certified Florida technicians are ready to inspect, adjust, and service your door whenever you need us—so it always runs like new.

  • How often should I service my new garage door?

     Most Florida homeowners should schedule a professional service once a year. Our region’s humidity and salt air can wear out springs, rollers, and cables faster than normal—so consistent maintenance keeps your door operating safely and quietly all year long.

  • What does a typical maintenance visit include?

     A Door Master Clinic tune-up includes a full safety inspection, spring and roller lubrication, opener testing, hardware tightening, and sensor calibration. We’ll also check weather seals and track alignment to prevent future issues.

  • Can I do any maintenance myself?

     You can perform light upkeep—such as cleaning tracks, testing the auto-reverse feature, and lubricating hinges monthly—but leave spring or cable work to professionals. Those parts are under high tension and can be dangerous to handle.

  • When should I call for service sooner than a year?

     If your door makes grinding noises, struggles to open or close, feels heavy, or moves unevenly, contact us immediately. Small issues can escalate quickly and compromise safety.

  • Do you service all garage door brands?

     Yes! Our technicians are trained to service all major garage door and opener brands, including LiftMaster, Genie, Chamberlain, and more.
