BLOG Seasonal Garage Door Checks: Preparing for Winter with JR Garage Door and Services Sep 22, 2024

As the season transitions from fall to winter, it’s important to ensure that your garage door is properly maintained to withstand the harsh weather conditions that come with the colder months. At JR Garage Door and Services, we understand the importance of seasonal garage door checks and are here to help you prepare for winter with our expert services.

One of the first steps in preparing your garage door for winter is to check the weatherstripping. Cold air and moisture can seep through worn or damaged weatherstripping, leading to energy loss and potential damage to your garage door components. Our team at JR Garage Door and Services can inspect your weatherstripping and replace it if necessary to ensure that your garage remains properly sealed.

In addition to weatherstripping, it’s crucial to lubricate the moving parts of your garage door to prevent them from seizing up in cold temperatures. Our technicians are trained to identify which parts require lubrication and use high-quality products to keep your garage door operating smoothly throughout the winter.

Furthermore, the alignment and balance of your garage door should be checked regularly to prevent uneven wear and tear on the tracks and rollers. Adjusting the tension of the springs and cables can help maintain the proper balance of your garage door, reducing the risk of malfunctions and extending its lifespan.

Another important aspect of winter preparation is inspecting the insulation of your garage door. Proper insulation can help regulate the temperature inside your garage, making it more energy-efficient and protecting your belongings from extreme cold. If your insulation is inadequate or damaged, our team can recommend and install the appropriate materials to improve the efficiency of your garage door.

At JR Garage Door and Services, we take pride in providing comprehensive garage door maintenance services to ensure that your door is well-equipped to withstand the challenges of winter. From weatherstripping replacement to lubrication and insulation upgrades, our experienced technicians are dedicated to keeping your garage door in top condition.
