While there may still be a chill in the air, spring is here, which for many homeowners means that it is time for home improvement. A season for renewal, spring home improvement tasks include organizing and cleaning. Spring also means maintaining, repairing or replacing the one home feature most homeowners forget: the garage door.

Designed for easy, drive-right-in accessibility, the garage door makes life convenient – until it gets stuck when opening and closing. Here are some of the reasons why this might be happening.

Using advances in wireless communication, smart garage door openers grant you complete control over your garage door, using just your smartphone or tablet. The best part is that you access the system remotely – while you’re at the office or on that long-awaited vacation – to either monitor the door’s performance or open and close it. Most systems can also be connected to work with other smart home technology products.
