Keep Your Garage Door Looking Great: ArtMeta’s Professional Maintenance Guide
In Vancouver’s wet coastal climate, your garage door faces rain, moisture, and salt. With a simple routine, you can keep it beautiful, safe, and energy-efficient for years. Use this ArtMeta checklist and pro tips below.
Why Maintenance Matters
Without regular care, wood may rot, metal can rust, finishes fade, and seals deteriorate—impacting curb appeal, comfort, and safety. Routine cleaning, seal checks, hardware lubrication, and periodic inspections protect your investment and extend lifespan.
ArtMeta’s Recommended Maintenance Checklist
| Task | Frequency | What to Do | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clean the Exterior | At least once a year | Wash with warm water + mild detergent + soft cloth; remove dirt, salt, and debris | Prevents rust and surface damage |
| Inspect Weatherstripping | Every 6 months | Check bottom/side seals for cracks or loss of elasticity; replace if needed | Keeps out drafts, water, pests; preserves insulation |
| Lubricate Hardware | Once a year | Use garage-specific lubricant on hinges, rollers, tracks, springs | Reduces noise and wear; smoother operation |
| Check Door Materials | Once a year | Inspect wood (rot), steel (rust), glass (cracks), and fasteners | Early fixes are cheaper and safer |
| Touch Up Finish | Every 2–3 years (as needed) | Repair chips/scratches; repaint or refinish exposed areas | Protects against moisture and UV |
| Professional Inspection | Every 1–2 years | ArtMeta technicians check spring tension, opener, safety sensors, alignment | Ensures safety and long-term reliability |
