Garage Door Garage Door Safety Inspections Fairmount, CO
We handle garage door safety inspections across Fairmount year-round. The local reality — heavy winter snowfall, crisp dry summers, and sharp day-to-night swings driven by altitude — guides which springs, rollers, and seals we install.
Fairmount, CO is shaped by heavy winter snowfall, crisp dry summers, and sharp day-to-night swings driven by altitude. We've learned which parts last in Colorado's high country, because snowmelt moisture that rusts low brackets, pine debris and grit fouling rollers and sensors, and ice that forms on tracks and bottom seals overnight take a steady toll on springs, tracks, and seals.
Nine out of ten Fairmount calls trace back to ice- and snow-jammed tracks, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, frozen, sluggish openers in unheated garages, and loosened hardware from repeated freeze-thaw. We pinpoint which one it is before quoting a cent.
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.
