Your garage door is an investment in the protection and safety of your property and car. Regular preventive maintenance is critical to help preserve the door’s performance, enhance its lifespan and curb appeal, and prevent unexpected costs.
Cornwell Door Service offers budget-conscious garage door preventive maintenance plans. Our plans include an annual inspection and tune-up from a qualified technician trained to spot problems before they become a bigger issue.
Our comprehensive 21-point garage door maintenance plan includes:
Our team will also check critical components such as the unit’s tension spring mounting pad, cables, chain and belt, weather seals and locks. They will inspect door sections for corrosion and other signs of damage and confirm that the keyless entry system and other electrical components are working as they should. Our garage door maintenance service is thorough, so you know we can track down and correct any problems.
Some other components we inspect during a preventive maintenance checkup include:
Following the inspection, we will provide a detailed list of our findings, outlining any recommendations for your garage door repairs or upgrades and their anticipated costs. Our goal is to make the process completely transparent by explaining in detail the benefits and potential drawbacks of any further work.
Rather than suggesting the most expensive solution, we’ll help you make an informed decision that stretches your budget further while ensuring your garage door continues to provide the service you need for years to come.

Change the remote’s batteries or check if the wall-mounted keypad is damaged. If that doesn’t work, give Cornwell Door a call.
Any issue that may be a safety concern, including an uneven garage door, damaged or broken springs, and a stuck door, warrants an emergency repair. If you notice any of these issues, or if your garage door opener is showing signs of needing to be replaced, don’t hesitate to call a professional.

Our contractor recommended Cornwell to us when it was time to pick out the garage doors for our new home. We went to the Camp Hill showroom and the salesman helped us pick out the right door for us. The doors look great! I would recommend Cornwell to anyone looking for a new garage door.
