Your garage door is one of the most used parts of your home, but it’s also one of the most overlooked — until something goes wrong. At B7 Garage Door Repair LLC, we’ve seen it all here in Houston: stuck doors during a thunderstorm, noisy openers at 6 AM, and broken springs that catch people off guard. If you’re wondering whether it’s time to get yours checked out, here are 5 signs you shouldn’t ignore:
1. It’s Making Weird Noises
Squeaking, grinding, banging – none of that is normal. These sounds usually mean parts are worn out, unbalanced, or dry and need lubrication or replacement.
2. It’s Slower Than Usual
If your garage door is moving slower than usual, it could be a sign of a weak motor or a problem with the tracks. Don’t wait until it stops working completely.
3. It Doesn’t Close All the Way
This is a common one, and it’s not just annoying — it’s a security issue. It might be a sensor problem, or the door could be misaligned.
4. It’s Off the Track
If your garage door looks crooked or isn’t sitting properly, it’s probably off its track. Trying to fix this yourself can be dangerous — this is when you should call in a pro.
5. You’ve Had It for Over 10 Years
Even if everything seems okay, garage doors need regular maintenance. If it’s been a while since your last inspection, now’s a good time.
