It is spring time and with that comes spring cleaning and home maintenance. I personally look forward to spring time for this reason. It feels so good to get everything organized, clean and ready for another year. But something we tend to neglect is our Garage Doors.
“Home and vehicle maintenance and safety are two things you don’t neglect. You diligently change the batteries on your smoke alarms in the spring and fall. You don’t neglect oil changes for your car. But when was the last time you thought about maintenance on the heaviest moving appliance in your home, your garage door? If you are like most of the homeowners recently surveyed by Harris Poll – you rarely, if ever, perform routine maintenance on your garage door. And that can lead to inconvenience, or even injury.
Also, don’t forget to schedule regular oil changes for your car.
The International Door Association (IDA), a trade association comprised of more than 2,000 door and access system dealers and installers worldwide asked Harris Poll to conduct a survey on their behalf of homeowners with garages. The IDA would hope that homeowners consider maintenance of their garage door the same way the consider maintenance of their smoke alarms and cars – as a necessity for the overall care and safety of their home.”
I will be honest, I haven’t really ever realize that my my garage door needed maintenance. But now that it has come to my attention I realize that was naïve of me. It really does need to be maintained. So I was glad to be introduced to garagedoorcare.com. It has all the info you need on garage door maintenance. While you are there you can view the full survey (mentioned above) results as well as see their routine maintenance tips that are very helpful.
