We want to clearly say how pleased we were and are with the awesome help we received from Tec MORGAN MILLER of “Overhead Door Company of Calgary”.

The door works perfectly now, thanks to Morgan.

What does maintenance cover?

Our comprehensive garage door maintenance includes a range of tasks designed to ensure years of reliable operation. These tasks include:

A Comprehensive Inspection – This is the most important part of any residential garage door maintenance call. The garage door technician will go over every component of your door, checking for signs of wear and tear, or damage, such as dents, cracks, loose parts, or other issues. It’s important to identify these signs early so you can catch them before they turn into major repairs.
Lubrication of All Moving Parts – Friction is the enemy of your garage door. Its moving parts must be properly lubricated in order to preserve proper function. Our technician will apply lubricant to the rollers, hinges, tracks, and any other parts as needed.
Adjusting the Springs – The springs help balance your garage door’s weight and support its movement. If the springs are not properly adjusted, it can lead to safety hazards and even render your garage door inoperable. Our trained maintenance technicians will adjust the springs as needed to ensure the best performance. This task is very dangerous if you do not know what you are doing.
Inspecting the Cable and Pulley System – Another vital component to the opening and closing of your door is the cable and pulley system. Due to the nature of the door, this is a part that can wear out quickly. Our garage door maintenance technician will inspect it and replace any parts as necessary.
