Garage door maintenance

The cheapest call you will ever make us.

A garage door is the heaviest moving thing in your house and it runs a few thousand cycles a year. An annual service catches the worn roller and the fraying cable while they are still a small part, not a broken spring on a Sunday.

Springs checked for balance, wear and correct tension
Cables inspected for fray and re-seated
Rollers, hinges and bearings lubricated or replaced

Track aligned and fixings tightened
Photo eyes and auto-reverse tested
Opener force and travel limits re-set

What we find

Three things a tune-up almost always catches.

None of these are dramatic on the day. All of them are dramatic a year later.

A door out of balance

Disconnect the opener and the door should hold at waist height. If it drops or climbs, the opener is doing the spring's work and will fail early.

A fraying cable

Visible as a few broken strands near the drum. Cheap to replace now, and it drops the door on one side when it finally goes.

Safety reverse out

Photo eyes drift out of line over time. We test the reverse against an obstruction and show you how to check it yourself.

How it goes

The visit.

Under an hour, and you get told what we found.

Full inspection

Springs, cables, drums, rollers, hinges, track, fixings, opener, sensors and seal.

Adjust and lubricate

Balance corrected, track aligned, everything that should move freely made to move freely.

Safety test

Auto-reverse tested against an obstruction, with you watching.

A straight report

What is fine, what is wearing and roughly how long it has. In writing, not a sales pitch.

Questions

Before you call.

The things people ask us most on this job.

How often should a garage door be serviced?

Once a year for a normal household door. Twice if you use it as your main entrance, which most Colorado families do.

Is it worth it if nothing is wrong?

That is exactly when it is worth it. A tune-up costs a fraction of a spring replacement and it is the difference between planning a repair and being stuck.

Do you charge for an estimate?

No. Estimates are free on every job, residential and commercial. If you want a number before anyone drives out, send a photo of the door or the opener and we can usually get close on the phone.

How fast can you get here?

Most repairs we can get to the same day or the next, and we take after-hours calls when a door is stuck open or will not close. Call (720) 894-8417 and we will tell you honestly where you sit in the day rather than guess.

What areas do you cover?

The south and west Denver metro: Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Englewood, Ken Caryl, Lakewood, Golden, Arvada, Westminster, Broomfield, Thornton, Denver, Aurora, Boulder, Longmont and Castle Rock, where we are based.

Are you insured?

Yes, and we are a family business that has been in the trade 41 years. We will send proof of insurance before work starts if you want it.

Next step

Book a tune-up before it becomes a repair.

Under an hour, and you come away knowing exactly what shape your door is in.

Exceptional garage door repair services!!! Can't recommend Tim highly enough
Peter Sanderson
A-Family installed our garage door, and did a fantastic job! The internal design of our garage created some inherent challenges, but Tim made it happen with some creative workarounds. We are looking forward to having them install a jack shaft opener in the near future. Highly recommend!

Don't even question it, just call A-Family Garage Door. Tim was very communicative, explaining everything clearly. The spring had broken, but I had other issues too. In an hour he installed the new spring and resolved all the other problems I've been fighting with this door for 13 years. Tim should be your contact for Garage Doors, no question!

A Family Garage Door definitely deserves 5 stars. They repaired our garage door when it refused to open, and the repair has completely stood the test of time. They were prompt, professional, and very knowledgeable. It’s hard to find service this reliable. Will definitely use them again if we ever need garage door work!
Matt T
We had an old style garage door from Ankmar that had seen better days and had to be replaced. Tim was very upfront with what needed to be done and the costs. Not only did the door need replacing but needed to be reframed as well. Who knew? The end result was beautiful. We were extremely satisfied. It's nice coming home to a pretty and worry-free door. We'd recommend Tim and AFGD hands down. Very knowledgeable and great service.
Lori Tucker
