23-point inspection: spring tension, cable wear, roller condition, photo-eye alignment, opener gear health, and full lubrication. Extends door life 30%.
For annual tune-up in Ault, CO, the right approach depends on the environment. Local conditions bring extreme summer heat that bakes and warps lightweight steel panels, low ambient humidity that dries out factory track lubrication fast, and rapid day-to-night temperature swings that loosen hardware over time, which we account for on every Ault job.
Weather matters more than most Ault homeowners expect. Local conditions — a semi-arid climate of hot, dry summers, cold winters, low rainfall, and wide day-to-night temperature swings — drive extreme summer heat that bakes and warps lightweight steel panels, low ambient humidity that dries out factory track lubrication fast, and rapid day-to-night temperature swings that loosen hardware over time, so we recommend hardware and seals suited to Colorado's semi-arid interior.
The short list of what goes wrong on Ault garage doors: heat-warped panels on west-facing steel doors, dust-blinded photo-eye safety sensors, dust-fouled tracks that bind and throw the door off level, and overheated opener motors straining against binding doors. Whatever's on yours, the diagnosis is free on most repairs and the quote is in writing.
Annual tune-ups extend garage door life by roughly 30% and catch the small problems that turn into emergencies. The math is straightforward: a $99 tune-up that detects a worn cable adds five minutes of work, while the same cable snapping at 6 a.m. on a Tuesday is a $400 emergency call. Our 23-point inspection covers every wear surface on the door — springs, cables, drums, rollers, hinges, bearing plates, tracks, brackets, opener gear and chain/belt — plus the safety systems (photo-eyes, auto-reverse).
Every tune-up includes a written report listing every component checked, its current condition (Good / Watch / Action), and an estimate for any flagged items. We don't pressure-sell tune-ups; if your door is in great shape and only needs lubrication, the report will say so and you'll be on your way. Most homes go 3–5 years on a tune-up cadence with no other service required.
Tune-ups are also the right call before listing a home. We provide a signed inspection report that homeowners share with prospective buyers — eliminating one common inspection-period negotiation. The same report works for insurance audits and rental-property compliance.
Annual is the recommended cadence, but homes in coastal corrosion zones or heavy-use households (multiple drivers, 4+ cycles/day) benefit from semi-annual service.
Door is noticeably louder than last year
Increasing noise is the earliest sign of bearing, roller, or hinge wear. Lubrication and adjustment at this stage prevents the underlying components from failing.
Visible rust or pitting on springs/cables
Surface rust on springs and cables means corrosion has already started weakening the wire. A tune-up catches this before the part snaps.
Opener strains on cold mornings
Cold weather thickens lubricants and stresses opener motors. A tune-up with fresh lubrication restores winter performance.
Pre-listing inspection prep
A signed tune-up report from a licensed contractor preempts buyer-inspection negotiations on the garage door — a small but consistent win on home sales.
Common causes & what we fix
Lubrication degradation
Factory grease on springs, hinges, and bearings dries out over 12–18 months. Re-lubrication restores quiet operation and slows wear.
Track fastener loosening
Vibration over thousands of cycles backs off track bracket screws. Annual re-torque keeps the track stable and the door tracking straight.
Photo-eye drift
Sensor brackets shift slightly with temperature cycling. Misaligned eyes cause refuse-to-close behavior. Annual realignment keeps the safety system in spec.
Cable fraying
Cables wear slowly from drum contact. Annual inspection catches fraying years before snap, allowing scheduled replacement instead of emergency dispatch.
Roller bearing wear
Steel rollers wear out their bearings on a slow curve. Annual inspection flags the bad ones for proactive replacement during a planned visit.

Frequently asked about annual tune-up
Top questions homeowners searching for Annual Tune-Up near me ask us:
Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Ault: with semi-arid climate of hot and extreme summer heat that bakes and warps lightweight steel panels, low ambient humidity that dries out factory track lubrication fast, and rapid day-to-night temperature swings that loosen hardware over time, the common failure modes are heat-warped panels on west-facing steel doors, dust-blinded photo-eye safety sensors, dust-fouled tracks that bind and throw the door off level, and overheated opener motors straining against binding doors. Our Ault trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.
In Ault it is usually heat-warped panels on west-facing steel doors — and because the area has mostly suburban single-family homes with attached garages, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, we also see a lot of dust-blinded photo-eye safety sensors. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
Most tune-ups run 60–90 minutes. Heavily neglected doors (10+ years without service) may take 2 hours to fully lubricate and adjust.
We prefer you're home so we can walk through the report and any findings together, but it's not strictly required. Many homeowners book tune-ups while they're at work and we leave the written report on the workbench.
Yes — high-cycle commercial doors benefit even more from scheduled maintenance, often quarterly or semi-annually. Ask about service contracts.
