Preventive Maintenance for Your Garage Door

By

A garage door is the heaviest & the largest moving part that comes in use every day in any house. Also, it is made up of several moving parts. These parts experience wear and tear over time, which can lead to potential safety problems some day or even a completely non-functioning door. Even snow, rains, winds and extreme temperature conditions can be brutal to the garage doors.

Why should you practice preventive maintenance for your garage door?

Having the garage door repaired periodically would extend the life of your garage door, dock levelers and door openers. You won’t have to experience a sudden shock of your door being non-functional. If you get it maintained regularly, a possible problem in the future could be avoided, which would also cost significantly less than the costs for repairing it while ensuring its smooth operation. Moreover, if you hire a company for preventive maintenance of your garage door, you receive extra benefits like discounts on repairing services, priority customer status and concessions on the replacement parts.

What does a preventive garage door maintenance program cover?

• Each garage door is inspected for safety at 18 points which includes all bearings, rollers, shafts, cables, chains, track, and alignment. While, the garage door opener is inspected at 16 points.

• All defective nuts & bolts are replaced or tightened. Hinges, drums, track brackets, couplings, and hangers are also tightened if need be.

• Rollers, cables & pulleys are lubricated to ensure proper functioning.

• Adjustment of all spring counterbalance assemblies is taken care of. The level of door and track spacing is also checked.

• Chains are tightened and limits are set for the switches.

• The transmitter batteries and keypad are checked. If needed, the batteries are replaced for free (up to 2).

Preventive garage door maintenance programs can be customized to fit you budget and the needs. These are very instrumental in avoiding an unexpected and costly repair later on. It is highly suggested to get in touch with Metro Garage Door today to take care of your garage door for you.

Metro first opened its (garage) doors in 1992. Through the years, they have carefully honed their garage door sales business by practicing excellent customer service.

This is another area where Metro excels.

Attic Insulation Saves You Money and More

By

Attic Insulation – Douglasville GA

Have you ever thought about the impact your attic has on the rest of your home? This space is an often forgotten area, but it is an entry point for cold drafts. This is a problem to consider, especially with the cold nights the winter months will soon bring.

One solution is to have a professional install quality insulation. With the help of certified Metro Garage Door home professionals, this can be one of the most effective solutions available.

Insulation Solutions and Benefits

Why You Need Attic Insulation:

  • Many homes, especially older homes with attics, have minimal insulation, which could result in a higher energy bill.
  • Extra installation is a one-time expense, making it a cost-effective solution. The usual response to a cold home – turning up the heat – is an expense you pay every month.
  • Adding insulation makes your home more energy-efficient, thus potentially reducing your heating bill.
  • The attic is often one of the most convenient areas in a house in which to install insulation.

Other Benefits of Insulating Your Attic: 

  • Your insulation in this space (or lack thereof) can determine the comfort level in the rest of your house.
  • Adding or increasing insulation can create a more consistent climate in your home. In other words, experience fewer annoying chills, and stay warmer this winter.
  • Better insulation could lead to you using less energy to heat your residence. This could extend the life of your furnace, while also doing a bit of good for the environment.

Attic Insulation Experts – Metro Garage Doors

Insulation is the key to an energy-efficient home, and the attic is the starting point. Let experts at Metro Garage Door help you get started today.

Should My Gas Logs Turn Black?

By

Gas Logs and Fireplaces – Douglasville GA

As nights get shorter and cooler, we’re drawn to our fireplace for warmth and companionship just like generations of people since our ancestors learned to create fires. Back then, as the fire died people threw another log on. But now, when our gas logs start to blacken we raise our eyebrows. What’s going on? Is that supposed to happen?

Gas Logs and Fireplace Issues

No. Gas logs are not supposed to get soot on them. If you’re noticing blackening on your logs, ask yourself these trouble-shooting questions.

  1. Are the logs each in their prescribed position? It is very important to check your log positioning, when they are out of place the fire may not burn as cleanly as it should.
  2. Are the gas ports clean and unobstructed? If not, the fire could be burning unevenly resulting in soot production.
  3. Are your air vents or shutters clean and clear? Gas log fireplaces are engineered so that given the proper amount of oxygen, the flame will burn beautifully and not produce much soot. Keep the vents or shutters dust and debris free for better operation.
  4. How old is your fireplace? Aging can result in deterioration of some parts. If your device is getting old, have it inspected by a professional.

Gas Log Fireplace Experts – Metro

Gas fireplaces can be an efficient and attractive part of your home, but for optimal safety and efficiency, ensure the proper maintenance. As with any gas appliance, the safest bet if you have any questions is to contact a professional at Metro Garage Doors.

Assessing Storm Damage with your Garage Door

By

Garage Doors Douglasville GA

Due to the recent heavy activity in tropical storm surges, it is important to take inventory of all damage to your home and property promptly to avoid compounding any existing problems. Be sure to walk around the entire perimeter of all structures on your property and look from ground to roof for any imperfections.

Garage Door Repairs

In addition, we at Metro Garage Doors encourage our customers to carefully assess their garage doors and call us if you notice any damage due to the storm. Look for warping, dents, scratches, and any other damage to your door panels. High winds and flying debris can cause problems far beyond mere appearance and all damage should be assessed by our professional technicians. Allowing a dented or warped garage door to go un-repaired can lead to damages and costs far beyond the price of the initial repair. Warped imperfect doors put undue strain on garage door motors, reduce the efficiency of your weather and temperature seal, and can lead to rust and paint break down. Catch the damage to your garage doors early and avoid a much larger issue in the future.

Garage Door Experts – Metro Garage Doors

Recovering from a strong tropical storm such as Irma is tedious and can take time but prompt attention is the best practice. Metro Garage Doors is eager and ready to help you. We live and work in the Atlanta area and we understand your needs. Our expert team values customer service and will respond to your after-storm requests quickly and efficiently. Contact us today to schedule a repair or maintenance visit.
