Born and raised in Arizona, Amelia and Dana, the owners of I Love It Garage Doors, founded their company with a clear goal: to provide honest, high-quality garage door services. For more than 15 years, this family-owned business has been rooted in respect and customer care.
While I Love It Garage Doors handles everything from emergency repairs to brand-new installations, Amelia and Dana emphasized that the one of the most valuable services they offer is one many people forget: preventive maintenance.
Preventive maintenance for a garage door is just as essential as an annual AC tune-up in the Arizona heat, or changing the oil in your car.
Just as an oil change keeps an engine from seizing, a garage door tune-up ensures that the mechanical components are moving smoothly. In Arizona, where dust and extreme heat can affect lubrication and material integrity, regular care is even more critical to ensuring a long lifespan for the door and its opener.
Neglecting regular tune-ups can lead to a domino effect of mechanical failures. According to Dana, who manages the day-to-day operations and quality control, many of the emergency calls the business receives could have been avoided with simple preventive care.
Skipping maintenance invites unnecessary premature wear and tear. Over time, that leads to the damage of critical components like the bearings, the springs and the opener itself.
When a technician from I Love It Garage Doors arrives for a maintenance appointment, they perform a comprehensive full safety inspection designed to catch small issues before they become major safety hazards or costly repairs.
The inspection covers every moving part of the system:
-
Hinges and Rollers: Technicians check for cracks, bends, or worn-out bearings that cause the door to “chatter” or shake during operation.
-
Cables and Drums: The team inspects for fraying or corrosion in the cables, which carry the weight of the door and are vital for safe operation.
-
Bearings and Springs: Technicians inspect the torsion or extension springs for signs of fatigue and ensure the bearings are properly lubricated and seated.
-
Door Balance: A critical part of the service is checking the door’s balance. A properly balanced door should stay in place when opened halfway manually. If it slams shut or shoots up, it needs immediate adjustment to prevent damage to the motor.
-
Opener and Limits: The team tests the opener’s force and travel limits, as well as the safety sensors, to ensure the door reverses immediately if an object is in its path.
What sets I Love It Garage Doors apart is the hands-on involvement of the owners. Amelia works directly with customers to guide them through the process, while Dana follows up personally after every job to ensure the work meets the company’s high standards.
For Phoenix residents looking to extend the life of their garage door and avoid the stress of sudden repairs, the message from Amelia and Dana is clear: don’t wait for a breakdown. Schedule a tune-up today and give your home the care it deserves.
