$29 Garage Door Tune-Up

Get a garage door tune-up for $29 (reg. $89) from the veteran-owned Colorado Crew. We lube and tune, balance and level the door, run a safety check, tighten bolts, and check the sensors and opener, so your door keeps working through Front Range winters.

Mention the $29 tune-up when you book online or call. Residential service. Offers subject to change; ask for details.

What’s in the $29 tune-up

• Lube and tune. We lubricate the springs, hinges, rollers and bearings and adjust what needs it, so the door runs smooth and quiet.
• Balance and level. We check spring balance and make sure the door sits level and travels straight in its tracks.
• Safety check. We inspect the springs, cables, drums, rollers and seals and test the safety reverse.
• Tighten bolts. Daily vibration loosens hinges, brackets and track bolts. We snug them back up.
• Sensor and opener check. We align and test the safety sensors and check the opener’s travel and force settings.

Why tune-ups matter on the Front Range

Colorado is hard on garage doors. Big temperature swings expand and shrink the metal. Dry air dries out lubrication. Winter road grime and mag-chloride get tracked in, and most of us use the garage as the front door, so the door cycles several times a day.

A tune-up is the cheapest way to catch a fraying cable or a tired spring before it leaves you stuck at 6 a.m. If a spring has already let go, see broken garage door spring repair.

Signs your door is due

• Squeaking, grinding or rattling when the door moves
• Jerky, shaky or slow travel
• The door reverses before it closes, or the opener strains
• A gap under one side of the door when it’s closed
• Rust on the springs or worn, wobbly rollers
• You can’t remember the last time anyone looked at it

No surprises

If we find a problem during the tune-up, we’ll show you, tell you what it is and what it costs, and you decide. Nothing gets fixed without your OK. When a part does need replacing, we use military-grade springs and parts. If the opener is the weak link, see garage door openers. If the door itself is worn out, ask about up to $500 off a new garage door.

What to expect on tune-up day

We start by walking the door with you and asking what you’ve noticed: a new noise, a slow spot, a remote that acts up. Then we work through the checklist from top to bottom. Much of it happens with the door running, so we can see and hear how it moves before and after. When we’re done, we show you what we adjusted and anything that’s getting worn, so you know what to keep an eye on. You don’t need to empty the garage. We just need clear access to the door, the tracks and the opener.

Between tune-ups, a quick monthly look helps. Watch the door run, listen for new noises, and test the safety reverse by setting a roll of paper towels in the door’s path. If the door doesn’t reverse when it touches the roll, stop using the opener and call or text us.

How often should I tune up my garage door?

Once a year is a good rule for most homes. If your door runs many times a day, or you’re up in the foothills in Conifer or Golden where the weather swings hard, fall is a smart time, before the first cold snap. Down in Highlands Ranch or Lone Tree? Same advice.
