We at OnTrack Garage Doors service many older homes in Somers, NY that have wooden garage doors. These tend to be well made and have stood the test of time. However, as they get older they can be more difficult to repair and/or replace. Another disadvantage is finding the time to care for it properly and keep it well maintained. Here are a few tips to help your wooden garage doors last even longer!
1. Wooden garage doors are extremely versatile and you can change the color or stain as often as you wish. To insure success, make sure you use a good quality product designed for outdoor use and sand and clean the doors before you begin.
2. At least once a year you should check all the working parts and make sure they are well lubricated; a simple silicone spray lubricant is best.
3. Check for any loose screws, nails or bolts often. This could help avoid further damage and expensive repairs later on.
