The pace and success of your business can hinge on how well its garage doors work. Consider the impact that regular maintenance can have on your commercial garage doors.
Improved Safety
Regular upkeep of your business’s garage doors helps them function safely. It ensures the doors open and close at a safe pace and protects functions like auto-reverse to reduce the risk of accidents.
Lower Liability
As a business owner, you assume liability if your garage doors malfunction and cause damage or injury. You can lower your liability by having the doors professionally maintained at least once a year.
Code Compliance
A yearly tune-up helps your business’s garage doors pass a safety and code inspection. You have less risk of the code inspector fining you for compromised door function or appearance.
Fewer Repair Costs
This service can reduce the money you have to put out to cover costly damage and malfunction repairs for your doors.
Longer Lasting Parts
Parts like screws and bolts last longer when you have your doors professionally maintained. You avoid having to pay to have a technician frequently remove and replace door parts.
Rust and Corrosion Prevention
Factors like moisture and humidity can cause your doors to rust and corrode. You can prevent both from building up on your door with regular maintenance.
Longer Door Lifespan
Keeping the doors well-maintained helps them last longer. You could get years’ worth of service out of them before you have to remove and replace them.
Better Security
Well-kept doors also add to the security of your business. They provide a formidable barrier and make it harder for someone to break in and steal from you.
Less Downtime
Malfunctioning doors can lead to delays and inconvenience for you and your customers. You could experience less downtime with your doors by having a technician inspect and service them regularly.
Consistent Operation
You can also rely on the doors to operate normally every time you push the opener button or use your remote to open and close the doors when you have them professionally maintained.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Routine maintenance helps your doors work more efficiently. They avoid using excessive amounts of energy, contributing to higher utility bills for your business.
Fewer Unusual Door Noises
During the tune-up, the technician will lubricate and tighten loose components. This service minimizes the garage doors making loud and unusual noises like squealing, vibrating, or grinding.
Preventative Care
Routine inspections allow the door technician to identify and address small mechanical or aesthetic problems. They also prevent these small issues from growing into bigger and costlier damages to your commercial garage door that could sideline your business.
Improved Looks
Yearly upkeep protects the appearance of the doors. They will also lend to the aesthetics of your business and increase its curbside appeal.
Positive Customer Perceptions
When you want customers to view your business positively, you can reinforce a positive image for it by keeping your garage doors maintained well. Customers will put the necessary time and effort into keeping your business’s garage functional and visually appealing.
Better Property Value
Well-kept garage doors also add to your property’s value. They contribute to the business’s equity and could allow you to list the building for a higher price if you decide to sell it.
Weather Resistance
Regular maintenance lends to commercial doors’ weather resistance. They should hold up better during high winds, heavy rain, and other detrimental weather.
Reliable Automation
This service ensures all of the automated systems in your garage doors function normally. They can include the door’s response to its opener remote and sensors.
Warranty Protection
If you have a warranty on the doors, you can keep it active with regular maintenance. The technician can provide you or the warrantor with proof of the doors’ professional tune-ups. The warranty minimizes your out-of-pocket costs for repairs and replacements.

For the money you pay for new garage doors, you may want to get a full return on your investment in them. Maintaining them maximizes their full value.
