Garage Spring Cleaning and Garage Door Repair

Clean the Inside of Your Garage

The first part of spring-cleaning for your garage is to organize the inside. Has your garage been acting as a storage unit for all of the things you no longer want, need, or use? If so, it’s time to take a trip to the donation bin. For the things that you do use, such as seasonal holiday decorations, place these items in organized and labeled storage boxes.

If you store any chemicals, cleaners, or paints within your garage, be sure that they are kept in a locked cabinet that is out of reach of any children or pets. Once things are organized, it’s time to sweep out the garage and then focus on your garage door.

Assess Your Garage Door

The next step is assessing your garage door for any parts that might need maintenance and any garage door repair needs. When was the last time you lubricated moving parts? Have you recently checked the function of your garage door reversal system?

Check the surface of the garage door as well for any cracks, chips, mold, or other signs of obvious damage. If you do not notice anything, give your garage a thorough cleaning by using a power washer or a bucket of soap and a heavy-duty sponge.

If you do notice damage, however, it is important that you seek repairs as soon as possible. Failing to repair a broken garage door could mean bigger, more dangerous, and more expensive problems down the line.
