Garage doors operate under extreme tension. Attempting to adjust springs or other components yourself can be dangerous and result in serious injury. Leave your garage door maintenance to the professionals at Modern Overhead Door.
We'll find hidden fatigue in the hardware before it goes bad, helping extend your garage door and operator's lifespans. By scheduling regular maintenance check-ups, we'll ensure your door won't fail during a blizzard or busy production shift.
Residential Tune-Ups
We thoroughly inspect your home's garage door system. This general maintenance includes lubricating rollers and hinges, testing the balance of the door, checking the cables for fraying, and verifying the opener's safety sensors are calibrated properly to protect your family and pets.
Agricultural & Freestyle Barn Service
We know the routine on the farm: freestyle barn doors stay rolled up all summer for ventilation, but when the first cold snap arrives, they refuse to close. We provide specialized seasonal maintenance for agricultural facilities, replacing rusted hardware and ensuring massive doors close tight to protect your livestock and equipment when the weather turns.
Commercial Door Maintenance
High-cycle commercial doors need consistent service to prevent business downtime. We provide routine inspections and preventative garage door service for rolling steel doors, sectional commercial doors, and heavy-duty operators. By keeping your doors maintained, we help your loading docks and facilities run safely and efficiently.
