Garage Doors and Home Warranty

A homeowner’s warranty will cover any problems you might have with your home’s exterior, but what about the garage door? Is that part of your home’s exterior, or an interior structure? Even if it’s considered an interior structure, homeowners usually find themselves opening their garage doors more than any other part of their house, which makes the garage door one of the most important aspects of maintaining your home be working properly at all times. And garage doors are definitely one of those pieces of equipment that need to be covered by it because without them you won’t be able to enter or exit your house unless you use the front door.

Here are some important garage doors mechanisms that home warranty can cover:

1) Garage Doors Openers

Depending on your current situation, it might be time to either repair or replace your existing garage door opener. Below we’ll cover some of what to consider when deciding whether to repair your current garage door opener or purchase a new one.

2) Springs, Rollers and Hinges

These are typically what breaks on garage doors, but when they do, they can be costly to fix. When you buy an extended service plan that covers these parts, it guarantees that your garage door won’t stop working in mid-use. If it does, technicians will come out to repair or replace broken parts—and even cover labor costs if there are additional issues.

3) End-of-Track Hardware

Garage doors are by far one of your biggest investments, so it’s important to protect that investment. A simple hardware malfunction can leave your family stranded in a remote location or trapped inside their own home. Having a professionally installed garage door opener also means routine maintenance is necessary to keep it operating at optimal levels—something that can quickly add up if you’re trying to do it yourself.
