Garage Door Maintenance Services
Okanagan sun and winter cold are tough on garage doors. Twice-yearly tune-ups across Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, and the rest of the valley keep yours running smooth.

Tune-Ups Built Around Okanagan Sunshine and Snow
Most garage door companies pitch maintenance once a year. We push back on that for Okanagan homeowners. Our valley sees enough UV and seasonal swing that one visit a year just doesn't catch everything - so we recommend a spring tune-up to undo what winter did, and a fall tune-up to lock everything down before the cold sets in.
A visit is more than a quick lube job. The technician runs through tension, balance, cable wear, sensor alignment, opener force, perimeter seals, and the bottom seal - the one that always cracks first under our sun. We use silicone and lithium lubricants rated for both -30°C and UV exposure, not whatever's in the spray-can aisle. Vacation properties and short-term rentals get a slightly different scope: more attention to remotes and openers (those see less use, more battery drain).
You get a written summary after every visit. What we touched, what we found, and what's heading toward end-of-life. No pressure to upsell - just enough information that nothing surprises you in January.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do vacation rental and second-home owners need a different maintenance schedule?
A bit, yes. Doors that sit unused for weeks accumulate different problems than daily-use doors - dry rollers, weak remote batteries, and seal degradation that goes unnoticed. We recommend a single full tune-up before the heavy-use season (typically late spring) plus a quick mid-summer check-in for rentals.
How do I know if my Okanagan garage door is overdue for a tune-up?
Some signs: louder operation than you remember, slow start when you press the opener, visible cracks in the bottom or side seals, daylight visible at the door edges, or a door that no longer reverses when something blocks it. If any of these are true, book.
Can I just lubricate it myself between visits?
You can, and it helps. Use a silicone-based garage door lubricant on rollers, hinges, and the spring. Avoid WD-40 on rollers - it strips lubrication. Don't spray the track itself (that's actually counterproductive). Quick, easy DIY but no replacement for a full tune-up.
What does an Okanagan tune-up actually cost?
A single visit runs $100-$150 depending on door size and any minor parts replaced. Booking the spring + fall package together is typically discounted. Vacation property bundles available for multi-home owners.
