Repair vs. Replace

Many opener issues—stripped gears, misaligned sensors, worn trolley assemblies—are repairable for less than a replacement. If your opener lacks modern safety or convenience features, we price both options so you can choose what makes sense.

All Types of Garage Door Openers We Service & Install

We service and install all major garage door opener types and brands. Whether you need repair, replacement, or a new installation, we work with every opener system on the market.

Chain Drive Openers

Reliable, durable, and cost-effective. Chain drive openers use a metal chain to operate the door, making them perfect for detached garages or areas where noise isn't a concern. Ideal for heavy doors and high-use applications.

  • Strong and durable for heavy doors
  • Cost-effective option
  • Proven reliability over decades
  • All major brands (LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman)

Belt Drive Openers

Ultra-quiet operation makes belt drive openers ideal for attached garages, especially those near bedrooms or living spaces. The reinforced rubber belt provides smooth, vibration-free operation.

  • Quietest operation available
  • Smooth, vibration-free performance
  • Perfect for attached garages

Screw Drive Openers

Simple and reliable design using a threaded steel rod. Fewer moving parts mean less maintenance, and they handle temperature fluctuations well. Great for consistent, reliable performance.

  • Fewer moving parts for lower maintenance
  • Fast operation speed
  • Excellent durability
  • Works well in all weather conditions

Wall-Mount (Jackshaft) Openers

Space-saving design that mounts on the wall beside the door instead of the ceiling. Perfect for garages with low ceilings, ceiling obstructions, or when you want to maximize overhead storage space.

  • No ceiling mounting required
  • Great for low or obstructed ceilings
  • Maximizes overhead storage space
  • Available with smart features and battery backup

FAQs

Why is my opener clicking or humming but not moving the door?

This can point to a worn gear, capacitor issue, seized trolley, or a door that's out of balance. We'll diagnose the root cause and recommend the best fix.

Should I choose a belt or chain drive opener?

Belt drives are typically quieter, while chain drives are a durable option for many doors. We'll recommend the right fit based on your door weight, usage, and noise preferences.

Can you program my remotes, keypad, and vehicle buttons?

Yes. We can program remotes, keypads, and common vehicle systems like HomeLink and Car2U, and make sure safety sensors and reversal settings are correct.
