The Benefits of Garage Door Maintenance
Well maintained wood garage doors add a luxurious look to any property, but when neglected, they can spoil the curb appeal of your home. Fortunately, it’s possible to keep your garage doors looking like new, even after many years, especially cedar garage doors, which offer benefits over other types of wood due to their natural tannic acid (a preservative) content.

Regularly Applying a Protective Finish Keeps Wood Doors Looking Their Best
All it takes is the routine application of a penetrating finish every few years to preserve the beauty of your wood garage doors. However, a protective coating offers more than looks. The benefits of wood garage door maintenance go beyond simply upholding the appearance of your oak, redwood, or cedar garage doors.
Why Maintain Your Wood Garage Doors?
Routine maintenance extends your garage door’s lifespan. Regularly applying a protective coating to your wood garage doors guards against rain, wind, and sun-related wear, keeping it in the best shape possible so you can maximize your return-on-investment.
Well maintained garage doors operate more smoothly. Doors that stand up to the elements experience less warping, swelling, and other damage known to affect proper movement and garage door opener operation.
Penetrating protective finish reduces cleaning needs. A coating of protective finish preserves your door’s overall looks and condition, preventing the buildup of dirt and grime that can lead to mold and mildew growth penetrating and permanently discoloring the wood.
Beautifully maintained garage doors boost your home’s value. Garage doors make up a large portion of your home’s exterior and are among the first things people see, making them an integral facet of its curb appeal and value. Don’t let your garage door maintenance slide. A little TLC goes a long way in extending the lifespan of beautiful wood garage doors.
