Rochester MN Home Inspectors Discuss Damaged Garage Door

YouTube Preview Image

In the attached video of a cracked garage door top panel.  I come across this defect quite often during home inspections.  Improper adjustment of the garage door tracks and/or the drive chain can result in jerking of the door during operation.  The jerking can result in flexure at the center of the door when the panel is in the horizontal position.  There is a lot of stress at the connection point where the chain drive is connected to the garage door.

If your garage door is flexing or jerking during operation, contact a local Rochester or Southeastern MN contractor specializing in garage door installation.

This is our second home purchase, and our Realtor recommended Rick for our home inspection.  He was very knowledgable whenever we asked him questions regarding the home.  He gave us reassurance in our new home decision and I would recommend him to others.

I was very impressed with the whole home inspection process.  All of my questions were answered thoroughly.  My uneasiness and worries were erased after review of the home inspections findings and discussion.  Well worth the money.  I will definitely recommend you to others!

Rick, You did a fabulous job on my home inspection!  As a first time home buyer this time has been extremely scary for me, but you helped my peace of mind in knowing that nothing was left in the dark.  Thank you so much!
