Why Skipping Preventative Maintenance Costs You More takes commercial property owners behind the scenes of one of the most expensive—and most avoidable—problems in New York City: neglected commercial doors and roll-down security gates. In this episode, we break down how small, overlooked issues like worn rollers, misaligned tracks, weak springs, and failing sensors quietly turn into emergency breakdowns that cost thousands in repairs, lost business, and safety risks. Through real NYC examples from retail storefronts, warehouses, and office buildings, you’ll hear how routine maintenance could have prevented shutdowns, failed inspections, and surprise $5,000+ repair bills. We also cover the most common failure points, the hidden cost of downtime, and a practical preventative maintenance schedule that helps businesses extend door lifespan, stay code-compliant, and save thousands annually. Whether you manage a single storefront or multiple commercial properties, this episode explains why “waiting until it breaks” is the most expensive strategy—and how smart maintenance planning protects your operations.
