Ensure your garage door remains durable and reliable throughout the summer with these essential maintenance tips:

Clean and Wax

Summer exposes your garage door to intense sunlight, high temperatures, and occasional storms. Start by cleaning it thoroughly with a garden hose and mild detergent to remove dirt and debris. Once clean, apply a layer of car wax to protect the door’s surface and enhance its durability against summer elements.

Lubricate Moving Parts

Keep your garage door operating smoothly by lubricating its metal parts such as hinges and tracks. Use a silicone-based lubricant to reduce friction and prevent rust buildup. Avoid excessive application to prevent attracting dirt and debris.

Apply Insulation

Ensure your garage stays cool and energy-efficient by applying polystyrene insulation. Proper insulation not only protects your garage door but also regulates indoor temperatures and prevents moisture buildup during hot summer months.

Check for Damages

Regularly inspect your garage door for signs of wear and tear, including rust, loose parts, or malfunctioning mechanisms. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage and ensure safety. Some repairs may require professional assistance for proper handling and long-term effectiveness.
