23-point inspection: spring tension, cable wear, roller condition, photo-eye alignment, opener gear health, and full lubrication. Extends door life 30%.
Annual tune-up in Giddings, TX is routine work for us. Local failure modes — corroded springs and cables in the humid air, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, and storm-driven debris and water in the tracks — are exactly what our trucks are stocked for.
Our Giddings recommendations are climate-driven. With a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity, your door contends with high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore — which is why galvanized hardware and quality weatherstripping pay off here.
There's a familiar rhythm to Giddings breakdowns — corroded springs and cables in the humid air, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, and storm-driven debris and water in the tracks. We've fixed each a thousand times across Lee County.
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.

Annual Tune-Up is one part of our garage door maintenance coverage in Giddings, TX. For the full picture — symptoms, costs, and when to repair vs. replace — start with the complete Garage Door Maintenance guide, or browse every garage door maintenance service we offer.
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.
Door is noticeably louder than last year
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.
