DIY Garage Maintenance

Residential triple garage with new doors.

Your garage door may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of spring cleaning, but this is one area that should not be neglected. While it is never suggested that you try any type of major maintenance on your garage door (e.g. replacing cables, replacing springs, lowering a door that has become stuck, etc.), there are some things you can do to ensure that your garage door works properly. Your garage door is just like any other mechanical device in that it requires regular maintenance in order for it to perform its best.

Most likely, you use your garage door multiple times a day, every day. Cleaning and lubricating your garage door hinges, rollers, and track on an annual basis will help to ensure that your garage door opens and closes smoothly. Because your garage door is on metal hinges, it is important that you do not use water to clean it. This will cause rust to occur, ensuring that your garage door will not run smoothly. Instead, use a broom to brush off any dust and debris, being particularly vigilant about spider webs and other insects that like to build nests in small places. You surely do not want to disturb any harmful critter that may attack you.

Once you have cleaned your garage door, track, and other elements, the next step is lubrication. Your garage door hinges, rollers, and tracks should be lubricated with a light coating of spray silicon lubricant. This lubricant will allow the garage door to move at a smooth pace both up and down. Pay attention that you do not apply too much lubricant to the garage door elements as this can cause buildup.

These simple steps are easy for you to do on your own, and we at HABPRO encourage you to do this simple maintenance at least once a year. If there are other issues related to your garage door not working properly, please contact our office. We are here to serve you and ensure that your garage door is safe and performing as it should. We know exactly what our customers need for long-term satisfaction, and we promise that you will be met with the highest standards of customer service and the most preferred quality products.

Used Habpro for a new garage door and had a great experience! Garage door was installed in a few hours and is very smooth and a lot quieter compared to the old door. We opted for the insulated door and highly recommend this option. The garage has stayed way cooler in the summer than it was previously.

I had a rotted panel on my 40-year old garage door. When I called Habpro, I spoke directly to the owner, texted him photos and measurements and he gave me a reasonable quote over the phone. Jared, the installer, was courteous and friendly. He finoshed the job in less than an hour. It is a perfect match. I wish I'd called sooner.

I contacted Habpro Garage Door Services as soon as my garage door jammed. Could not get into our house without going through the garage. Mr. Bill Farmer was at my house in almost less than 10 minutes after my call and he was beyond professional. We were very impressed by his professionalism and his ability to do the job. Would recommend his service to anyone who needs beyond adequate help.

My garage door top panel was broken and bent. I contacted 2 different garage door companies who quickly quoted a price to replace the entire garage door. I then contacted Habpro and I am so glad that I did! They requested that I send them pictures of my garage door and were able to give me a reasonable quote to repair the door. They explained what they intended to do and set an appointment for the next day. I was kept informed of my tech's arrival. Jared arrived on time and he was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. He fixed my garage door and added additional hardware to improve the structure of the door. The job was completed in about 30 minutes. I have already referred Habpro to my neighbor. This was a great experience!

It's great when you receive service from someone who is knowledgeable and skilled in their field. When I contacted Habpro, they were able to give me options on how best to address my issue. They came out, repaired the door expertly, and charged a reasonable fee. Two months later, I am still pleased! I recommend you that give them a call if you're having a problem with your garage door.
