Garage doors need to be reinforced in high-wind conditions, but many people are unaware of this fact. These doors are often referred to as Wind Load Rated, Storm/Hurricane Rated, or simply Wind Rated. As the homeowner, you are responsible for choosing the appropriate wind load product to meet or exceed your local building code, with the help of your builder and garage door dealer. Local wind load requirements for garage doors can vary depending on the size of the door, its location on the structure, and the local wind zone, among other factors. Homeowners are responsible for making sure their garage doors meet local building codes. Our hurricane garage doors are the best way to protect your property from the most severe weather conditions.
Garage door maintenance typically involves inspecting and lubricating the moving parts, checking the door balance, and testing the auto-reverse safety feature. It would help to look for signs of wear and tear, listen to unusual noises, and check that the door is operating smoothly. Any significant issues like a non-operating door, a broken spring, or a sagging door should be addressed by a professional. Regular maintenance can help prevent major issues and prolong the life of the door.
We recommend that you do not attempt to do any maintenance or repairs on your own. It can be dangerous to attempt this without proper knowledge and experience, so we strongly urge you to leave everything to our experienced and trained professionals. We do suggest that you lubricate all moving parts (particularly the hinges) yourself every few months.
Our standard maintenance service fee is $49. However, if there are any repair services needed, the cost of those services will be additional and you will be quoted before any work is performed.
