Maintenance is proactive. Repair is reactive.
Maintenance focuses on inspection, lubrication, tightening, small adjustments, and identifying wear before failure. Repair usually means replacing a broken spring, replacing a frayed cable, fixing a bent track, replacing worn rollers or hinges, or correcting a door that will not open or close. If you tell us it stopped and now it is stuck halfway, that is a repair visit. If you need a broader overview of options, see Garage Door Service in San Anselmo, CA.
