23-point inspection: spring tension, cable wear, roller condition, photo-eye alignment, opener gear health, and full lubrication. Extends door life 30%.
In Braham, every annual tune-up starts with the local picture — long stretches of bitter cold and snow load, with a short warm season and big seasonal temperature swings. We choose hardware that survives Minnesota's cold northern climate, not whatever's cheapest on the shelf.
Ask any Braham tech and they'll tell you the climate decides what fails. Long stretches of bitter cold and snow load, with a short warm season and big seasonal temperature swings brings cold-thickened opener grease that bogs down the motor, heavy snow load and ice on doors and tracks, and snowmelt and road salt that rust low brackets, year after year.
Run down the service log for Braham and the same repairs repeat: stiff, grease-thickened openers in the cold, snow-load strain on tracks and brackets, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, and loosened hardware from repeated freeze-thaw. We carry every part needed to close them out in one trip.
Annual tune-ups extend garage door life by roughly 30% and catch the small problems that turn into emergencies. The math is straightforward: a $99 tune-up that detects a worn cable adds five minutes of work, while the same cable snapping at 6 a.m. on a Tuesday is a $400 emergency call. Our 23-point inspection covers every wear surface on the door — springs, cables, drums, rollers, hinges, bearing plates, tracks, brackets, opener gear and chain/belt — plus the safety systems (photo-eyes, auto-reverse).
Every tune-up includes a written report listing every component checked, its current condition (Good / Watch / Action), and an estimate for any flagged items. We don't pressure-sell tune-ups; if your door is in great shape and only needs lubrication, the report will say so and you'll be on your way. Most homes go 3–5 years on a tune-up cadence with no other service required.
Tune-ups are also the right call before listing a home. We provide a signed inspection report that homeowners share with prospective buyers — eliminating one common inspection-period negotiation. The same report works for insurance audits and rental-property compliance.
Signs you need annual tune-up
It's been more than 18 months
Annual is the recommended cadence, but homes in coastal corrosion zones or heavy-use households (multiple drivers, 4+ cycles/day) benefit from semi-annual service.
Increasing noise is the earliest sign of bearing, roller, or hinge wear. Lubrication and adjustment at this stage prevents the underlying components from failing.
Visible rust or pitting on springs/cables
Surface rust on springs and cables means corrosion has already started weakening the wire. A tune-up catches this before the part snaps.
Opener strains on cold mornings
Cold weather thickens lubricants and stresses opener motors. A tune-up with fresh lubrication restores winter performance.
Pre-listing inspection prep
A signed tune-up report from a licensed contractor preempts buyer-inspection negotiations on the garage door — a small but consistent win on home sales.
Common causes & what we fix
Lubrication degradation
Factory grease on springs, hinges, and bearings dries out over 12–18 months. Re-lubrication restores quiet operation and slows wear.
Track fastener loosening
Vibration over thousands of cycles backs off track bracket screws. Annual re-torque keeps the track stable and the door tracking straight.
Photo-eye drift
Sensor brackets shift slightly with temperature cycling. Misaligned eyes cause refuse-to-close behavior. Annual realignment keeps the safety system in spec.
Cable fraying
Cables wear slowly from drum contact. Annual inspection catches fraying years before snap, allowing scheduled replacement instead of emergency dispatch.
Roller bearing wear
Steel rollers wear out their bearings on a slow curve. Annual inspection flags the bad ones for proactive replacement during a planned visit.

Frequently asked about annual tune-up
Top questions homeowners searching for Annual Tune-Up near me ask us:
Braham sits in long stretches of bitter cold and snow load, with a short warm season and big seasonal temperature swings. That is hard on a door — cold-thickened opener grease that bogs down the motor, heavy snow load and ice on doors and tracks, and snowmelt and road salt that rust low brackets all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are stiff, grease-thickened openers in the cold, snow-load strain on tracks and brackets, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, and loosened hardware from repeated freeze-thaw. We size springs and seals for Minnesota's cold northern climate conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
The call we get most in Braham is stiff, grease-thickened openers in the cold. Braham has predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, so snow-load strain on tracks and brackets turns up often too.
