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.

How does the climate in LaFayette, GA affect my garage door?

That is hard on a door — corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. We size springs and seals for Georgia's humid subtropical region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
How long does the inspection take?
60–90 minutes for a typical single or double door. Multi-door inspections (e.g., commercial property with 5+ bays) take longer.
What if you find problems?
We document them in the report with severity (Watch / Action) and provide a separate flat-rate quote to address. You decide whether to fix during the visit, schedule a return, or share the report and decide later.
Will the report be accepted by my buyer/insurer?
Yes — our signed contractor reports are accepted by most buyers, real-estate professionals, and insurance carriers. We provide formal PDF documentation including all photographs.
Can you do commercial inspections?
Yes — including high-cycle commercial, rolling steel, and fire-rated doors. Fire-rated doors require additional drop-test certification, which we include in the inspection scope.
