How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend having your garage door professionally serviced at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, extends the life of your door and opener, and ensures safe operation. During a service visit, our technicians will lubricate moving parts, check spring tension, test safety features, and inspect all components for wear.

How long does a typical garage door repair take?

Most common garage door repairs can be completed in 1-2 hours. Simple fixes like sensor alignment or remote programming may take as little as 30 minutes. More complex repairs such as spring replacement or track realignment typically take 1-2 hours. For new door installations, you can expect the process to take 3-5 hours depending on the complexity of the installation.

San Jose has one of the most diverse housing stocks in the Bay Area.

The weather here is mild compared to other parts of the country, but San Jose's summer heat still affects garage door components.
