Los Angeles summers bring sunshine, beach days—and unexpected garage door issues. At Green Home Garage Door and Gate Repair, we always see a spike in service calls during the summer months, especially from homeowners in Torrance, Studio City, Camarillo, and Palmdale.
Here’s why summer is the best time to schedule a garage door tune-up—and how it can save you money in the long run.
1. Heat Weakens Garage Door Springs
High temperatures can wear out torsion and extension springs faster than usual. A weakened spring can snap without warning, trapping your car or damaging your door.
✅ Prevent it with a summer tune-up in Norwalk, El Monte, or Sun Valley.
2. Sensors Get Blocked More Often
Summer dust, pollen, and even insects can block photo-eye sensors. This causes your door to stop closing or reverse suddenly—especially frustrating when you’re in a hurry.
✅ Our team can clean, align, and test your sensors in minutes in Long Beach and Canoga Park.
3. Metal Expands in the Heat
Garage door tracks and rollers can expand slightly during hot weather, leading to misalignment or increased noise. Catching this early prevents more expensive repairs later.
✅ We offer full track inspections across Pomona, Ontario, and Beverly Hills.
4. Opener Motors Overheat
If your garage door opener struggles to lift the door in summer, it could be from heat stress or an outdated unit. Summer is the perfect time to upgrade or service your opener.
✅ We install and repair openers in all of LA County—from Torrance to Palmdale.
5. Prepare Before the Busy Season
Don’t wait until fall storms or winter rains. Fixing minor issues now means no surprise breakdowns later when parts are harder to source or response times are longer.
✅ We keep all major parts in stock and offer fast, affordable maintenance anywhere in Los Angeles.
