Garage Door Garage Door Safety Inspections Lake Mary, FL
Homeowners across Lake Mary and the surrounding area call us for garage door safety inspections because we know Lake Mary. The common drivers locally are rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms — and we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
Because Lake Mary has a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity, the doors here age differently than inland or coastal homes elsewhere. The usual culprits are storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, and corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air — exactly what our techs come prepared for.
The calls we get most in Lake Mary are rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms. Each is something our trucks are stocked to fix on the first visit — no waiting on parts.
Safety inspections are formal, documented evaluations of the entire garage door system — useful for home sales (preempt buyer-inspection negotiations), insurance audits (some carriers require periodic verification), post-incident review (after a near-miss or actual injury), and rental-property compliance. The inspection covers every safety-critical component plus structural items, and produces a signed PDF report that meets the documentation needs of most buyers, insurers, and property managers.
Our standard report covers: UL-325 compliance (photo-eyes present, aligned, and triggering auto-reverse on obstruction test), spring health (visible wear, age, cycle estimate), cable health (fray, corrosion, secure termination), drum and shaft integrity (set-screws tight, drums spooled correctly), opener motor and gear health (audible inspection, force/travel calibration), photo-eye function, manual-release operation, balance verification, and structural items (track alignment, bracket fasteners, panel integrity, hinge condition). Every check is photographed and the report includes the photographs.
Inspections take 60–90 minutes. The signed PDF is emailed within 4 hours of completion. If we find issues, we present a separate flat-rate quote for any repairs — you can address them during the same visit, schedule a return, or share the report with the relevant party (buyer, insurer, etc.) and decide later.
