Garage Door Garage Door Safety Inspections Bethesda, MD

Bethesda garage door safety inspections, done by a crew that works this area daily. We see degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors most often here, and we carry the parts to resolve them on the first visit.

Weather matters more than most Bethesda homeowners expect. Local conditions — a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware — drive frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, and damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, so we recommend hardware and seals suited to Maryland's humid subtropical region.

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.
