Hiring The Home Tradesman over a contractor can have several benefits depending on the scope of the project. Here are some advantages of hiring The Home Tradesman:

1. Cost-effective: Our services are typically more affordable than hiring a contractor, especially for smaller to mid-size jobs or tasks that don't require a contractor.

2. Versatility: We are skilled in various tasks. We can handle multiple projects around the house, making us a versatile option for homeowners, landlords, and property management companies.

3. Reliable service: We are generally more readily available and can often complete jobs quickly since we focus on a wide range of tasks rather than a single specialized area.

4. Personalized service: We often work directly with homeowners, providing a more personalized approach to home maintenance and repairs. This can lead to better communication and a more tailored service to meet your needs.

5. Small to mid-size projects: We are ideal for handling small to mid-size projects or tasks that may not require a contractor. Hiring us can be more practical and efficient for minor repairs or maintenance work.

6. Maintenance and repairs: We can help with routine maintenance tasks, such as fixing leaky faucets, repairing drywall, or replacing fixtures. We can help keep your home in good condition and address issues before they become more significant problems.

While hiring The Home Tradesman has advantages, it's essential to consider the project's complexity and whether it requires specialized skills or licensing that a contractor would provide. For larger or more complex projects (Remodeling, etc.), a licensed contractor is better to ensure the work meets building codes and regulations.

10. Garage Door Maintenance & Repair

A garage door tune-up helps ensure reliable, quiet operation and safety. It involves a series of maintenance tasks to ensure your garage door operates smoothly and safely.

Here are some common steps included in a garage door tune-up:

1. Visual inspection: Visually inspect the garage door, its components, and the opener to identify any visible issues such as worn parts, loose bolts, or misalignments.

2. Tightening of hardware: Tighten all the hardware components of the garage door, including bolts, nuts, and screws, to ensure that everything is secure.

3. Lubrication: Lubrication of moving parts such as hinges, rollers, tracks, and springs is essential to reduce friction and wear and tear. Special garage door lubricants are used for this purpose.

4. Alignment and balance check: Check the alignment of the tracks and the balance of the door. Proper alignment ensures smooth operation, while correct balance reduces strain on the opener and extends its life.

5. Spring tension adjustment: If the garage door has torsion springs, the technician may adjust the spring tension to ensure that the door opens and closes properly.

6. Opener inspection and adjustment: The garage door opener will be inspected for any issues, and adjustments will be made to settings such as the force and limit settings to ensure safe and efficient operation.

7. Safety sensor test: The safety sensors, which prevent the door from closing on objects or people, will be tested to ensure that they are functioning correctly.

8. Weather stripping inspection: The weather stripping around the door will be inspected for wear and tear. 

9. Recommendations: The technician may provide recommendations for any necessary repairs or upgrades to improve the performance and safety of your garage door.

It's important to have a professional technician perform a garage door tune-up at least once a year to keep your door operating smoothly and to address any potential issues before they become major problems.

Yes, traditional garage door torsion springs are generally considered better than extension springs because they are safer, have a longer lifespan, provide smoother door operation, and are less likely to cause damage if they break due to their contained design; whereas extension springs can potentially fly out if they break, causing injury or property damage to your vehicle etc. If you would like to convert your extension spring to a torsion spring system call us today (916)547-3898 or Book Us Online!
