Garage Door Garage Door Safety Inspections Westwego, LA
Our garage door safety inspections service covers all of Westwego: Uptown Historic District and Uptown. Set in Louisiana's humid subtropical region, these doors face salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, and corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, and we plan every repair around it.
Climate is half the story for a garage door in Jefferson Parish. Given a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity, Westwego doors wrestle with salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, and corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air.
Nine out of ten Westwego calls trace back to rusted track hardware and seized rollers, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. 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.
