Garage Door Safety Inspection: questions about the price

Yes, mostly at floor level. Months of slush and road salt reach the lowest hinges, the bottom brackets and the loop of each cable before anything else on the door, so those get a close look for rust. The technician also checks whether the bottom seal has been freezing to the slab, how the drive has coped with cold, stiff starts, and whether frost or salt film has been blinding the sensors near the floor.

Maintenance done during the visit

Lubrication, photo-eye cleaning and alignment, fastener tightening and fresh batteries can be added on the spot. Each is a small line on the quote, chosen by you at the door.

What is stored around the door

Shelving under the spring shaft, bikes along the tracks or a car left inside slow the visual walk. Clearing the area beforehand keeps the inspection to its planned length.

Distance to the property

Travel is part of every visit. A property across town and one at the end of a rural road involve different driving time, and the quote reflects the trip.
