A garage door is one of the biggest moving parts on your property. In some ways, it’s like an appliance. You probably use your oven once or twice a day, which is the average amount of times you use your garage door.  In order to keep it running smoothly and avoid expensive repair bills and replacement, you want to make sure it gets the proper care and maintenance. And just like your oven, there are a few small maintenance tasks you can do yourself, but it’s important to know when to call a professional garage door repair company to do the job right!

You should call Great Level Garage Door Repair if:

• You need to force your garage door to move while opening or closing it.
• The garage door won’t stay in place when you open it or it closes on its own. This means the door is unbalanced.  An unbalanced garage door should be corrected in order to maximize the door’s lifespan.  If left unaddressed, you could be looking at significant damage in the future.  The damage could mean cable jumping, gears stripping, hinges separating, panels falling, and circuit boards failing.
• The garage door makes obnoxious noises while opening or closing.
• The last maintenance check was more than two years ago.
