Why Texas Climate Makes Maintenance More Important
Houston's Gulf Coast humidity causes metal corrosion faster than inland markets. Springs, cables, and rollers degrade faster in salt-air environments. Austin's extreme summer heat (regularly 105°F+) stresses rubber seals and lubricants. Annual maintenance catches these issues before they cause failures.

Tune Up FAQs
A full tune up runs $79–$125 depending on door size and condition. If we find issues during the inspection, we quote separately before doing any additional work. Exact pricing depends on scope — your technician will quote before any work begins.
Once per year is ideal for most residential doors. In Houston, where Gulf Coast humidity accelerates corrosion, and in Austin, where extreme heat cycles stress springs, annual tune-ups help catch issues before they become costly failures.
Our 21-point inspection covers: spring tension and balance, cable condition, roller wear, track alignment, hinge integrity, bottom seal, weather stripping, operator force settings, safety reverse, and full lubrication of all moving parts.
