The environment around Ellicott is unforgiving on hardware. A semi-arid climate of hot, dry summers, cold winters, low rainfall, and wide day-to-night temperature swings means rapid day-to-night temperature swings that loosen hardware over time, low ambient humidity that dries out factory track lubrication fast, and extreme summer heat that bakes and warps lightweight steel panels, so we build every quote around durability.
Most Ellicott service tickets come down to heat-warped panels on west-facing steel doors, dried, cracked bottom seals that let dust into the garage, noisy operation from grit-packed, under-lubricated rollers, and dust-fouled tracks that bind and throw the door off level. We carry the springs, cables, rollers, and opener boards to handle all of them out of one truck.
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.
