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 for Gower homeowners is shaped by where they live — Missouri's continental-climate region, where freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware, road salt and snowmelt that corrode the lowest hardware, and summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel drive most failures.
Our Gower recommendations are climate-driven. With warm, wet summers and cold winters with snow and ice, driving repeated freeze-thaw cycles on exterior hardware, your door contends with freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware, road salt and snowmelt that corrode the lowest hardware, and summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel — which is why galvanized hardware and quality weatherstripping pay off here.
Most Gower service tickets come down to cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, and ice- and snow-jammed tracks. We carry the springs, cables, rollers, and opener boards to handle all of them out of one truck.
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 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.

Frequently asked about annual tune-up
Top questions homeowners searching for Annual Tune-Up near me ask us:
Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Gower: with warm and freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware, road salt and snowmelt that corrode the lowest hardware, and summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel, the common failure modes are cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, and ice- and snow-jammed tracks. Our Gower trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.
About 68% of Gower's housing predates 1980, with a median build year of 1973; on doors that age, worn springs, tired openers, and brittle weather seals are the norm rather than the exception.
Most tune-ups run 60–90 minutes. Heavily neglected doors (10+ years without service) may take 2 hours to fully lubricate and adjust.
The first year usually doesn't require service, but a tune-up at the 18-month mark catches builder-install shortcuts (under-torqued brackets, missing lubrication) before they become problems.
We prefer you're home so we can walk through the report and any findings together, but it's not strictly required. Many homeowners book tune-ups while they're at work and we leave the written report on the workbench.
