Garage Door Tune-Up: what shapes the quote
Garage Doors · London, Ontario
For a single or double residential door with an opener, allow roughly an hour to two hours on site. The inspection and the two observed cycles take a fixed amount of time; the rest depends on how many fasteners have loosened, whether the sensors need realigning and whether you approve a small part replacement, such as a worn roller, during the same visit. Spring or cable work, if found necessary, is scheduled as its own job.
Age of the door and opener
Older hardware may need fasteners in sizes no longer standard, and an opener without photo-eyes prompts a conversation about entrapment protection that is quoted separately from the tune-up.
Balance findings
If the balance test shows the springs have lost tension, spring adjustment or replacement is a separate job with its own quote rather than part of the maintenance visit.
Time since the last service
A door serviced last year needs a lighter touch than one that has never been looked at, where every fastener may want attention and the sensors and limits are far from where they should be.
