Garage Door Opener Repair & Install
Remote gone dead, door reversing before it closes, or a motor that grinds and gives up? We diagnose the actual fault before quoting — and if it only needs a sensor aligned or a gear kit, we’ll say so rather than sell you a new unit.
Common Opener Faults
What you’re seeing on the left, what’s usually behind it on the right. A surprising number of these are cheap fixes.
Repair It, Or Replace It?
Plenty of opener problems are worth repairing, and we’ll tell you when that’s the case. Here’s roughly how we weigh it.
Repair Makes Sense
- It’s a sensor, remote, wall control or limit-setting fault
- The unit is under roughly ten years old
- A single part has failed and it’s still available
- The motor runs strongly and the housing is sound
- It already has photo-eye sensors and rolling-code remotes
Replacement Is Better Value
- The logic board or motor has failed on an older unit
- Parts are discontinued for that model
- It predates photo-eye safety sensors entirely
- Repair costs are approaching the price of a new opener
- You want quiet belt drive, WiFi control or battery backup
How A Visit Works
Test The Door
First we check the door moves freely by hand. A heavy door makes a healthy opener look broken.
Diagnose
Sensors, wiring, logic board, gears, travel limits and force settings checked in turn.
Repair Or Quote
If it’s fixable we fix it. If replacement is the better call we explain why and price both.
Set Up & Test
Limits calibrated, sensors aligned, safety reverse tested, remotes and keypad programmed.
Opener FAQs
My door reverses before it shuts. Is the opener broken?
Usually not. It’s nearly always the photo-eye safety sensors near the floor being knocked out of alignment or dirty. Check both little lights are steady rather than blinking, and that nothing is blocking the beam. If that doesn’t do it, call us — it’s still one of the quicker repairs.
How long does a new opener take to install?
Typically two to three hours including removing the old unit, mounting the new one, calibrating travel limits and programming remotes and keypads.
How soon can someone get here?
A technician is typically at your door within two hours, and we offer same-day appointments throughout the year including weekends. Call to confirm current availability.
Can I keep my existing remotes?
Sometimes, if the new opener is the same brand and uses a compatible frequency. Often it’s simpler to program the new remotes supplied with the unit, and we’ll set up your car’s built-in buttons and any keypad at the same time.
