When my wife and I purchased our first home, we knew we had a lot to learn about home maintenance. Thankfully, we received a lot of tips from family and friends. However, one part of our home that we neglected for years was our garage door. One day, it became stuck in the "open" position on a windy, rainy day. We had to call a garage door repair technician, and along with repairing our door, he gave us a lot of helpful garage door maintenance tips to help prevent future problems.
