  • What are the signs that my garage door needs servicing?

    Common signs include loud noises, slow or jerky movement, the door not closing fully, or the remote not responding properly. According to Home Advisor, garage doors generally last between 15 and 30 years, with lifespan varying based on material, usage, climate, and upkeep.
